# R2 2025 Release notes

## News, updates, and changes in Composer R2 2025 ("Red Bull")

Composer R2 2025

Release date 2025-04-25, version: 2.2.9245.15730 Patch date 2025-06-19, version: 2.2.9300.24814

**News and Improvements:**

- [CrystalSpeech audio operator](/docs/crystal-voice) - A highly efficient Noise Cancellation Operator optimized for voices. By using AI, this new operator will remove background noise from your audio source in real-time. Check out the Crystal Speech [Tutorial](/docs/tutorials) to try it out.
- [Web Page Input](/docs/web-content-renderer) - Up to 10x performance gain. Support was added to capture audio from the web page. Added an autostart option (default on)
- Image Classification operator - Image Classification is an advanced AI feature that analyzes images and video frames to identify and categorize objects based on their visual characteristics. The operator is compatible with Yolo 8-12 models in ONNX format. Try the Image Classification [Tutorial](/docs/tutorials) to get familiar with the operator.
- [ASIO Device Capture](/docs/asio-input) - This new input provides support for ASIO (Audio Stream Input/Output). By using ASIO, Composer can use any audio source compatible with ASIO. One such example is Dante digital audio.
- [ASIO Target](/docs/asio-target) - Output audio to any ASIO-compatible device.
- [Point Tracker Operator](/docs/point-tracker) - A new tracker that can be used to track movements caused by camera changes or changes in the set. The built-in auto-compensate feature can be used to automatically compensate for position changes.
- [Automatic Gain Operator](/docs/auto-gain-operator)(Video) - a new operator for automatic gain control for video.
- [UDP Target](/docs/network) - added support for generic UDP messages.
- [Video Delay Operator](/docs/video-delay) - improved performance. Up to 10x performance gain when using 4K+ resolutions.
- [RTMP-Target:](/docs/vindral-rtmp-target)
  - Added support for configurable output buffer size and allowed frame skipping when the buffer size approached the limit.
  - Changed the send_buffer_size to 512KB. This can improve ingest performance and stability when ingesting to servers with high latency or high network jitter.
- Audio Monitor - added support for triggering an error on "dead-audio"
- Lock Screen—Performance mode: Improved performance in locked state, added information on the number of congestive frames.
- [CAV Input](/docs/cav-movieaudio-file-input):
  - Added support for moving one frame forward or backward (next/previous frame)
  - Added support for keyboard shortcuts for a CAV Input that is selected: ALT+P: Toggle Play/Pause, ALT+RIGHT: Next frame, ALT+LEFT: Previous frame.
- Input & Scenes list: added support for re-ordering inputs using CTRL+UP/DOWN.
- Scene Layers: added support for re-ordering layers using CTRL+UP/DOWN.

**Bugfixes:**

- Speech To Text - Text was not appropriately cleared when starting and stopping the operator
- Connectors - animated properties could get an unexpected end value.
- Decklink Capture: the UI did not always show a warning if the video input frame rate mismatched the project frame rate.
- The Script Operator could sometimes render an exception when loading a new project or exiting Composer.
- The Smart Search function did not work correctly with Audio Inputs and Scenes.
- The LE version did not work unless the number of scenes with targets was 2.
- Crystal speech (version: 2.2.9300.24814) - If Composer starts with audio = null, Crystal speech will generate incorrect audio packages that can cause targets to stop working.

**Other changes:**

- Chromium - Updated to version 132.3.11
- Decklink Target V2 and V3 have been deprecated from the UI. However, projects using V2 or V3 will still work. For new projects, use V4.
- Web Page Renderer (Chromium, WebGL) has been depricate from the UI. However, projects using the input will still work. For new projects, use the Web Page Renderer (Chromium) input.
- When creating a new project, the framerate of the previously running project will be used.
- If Audio Preview is enabled in the desktop version, it will remain enabled when a new project is opened or created.
- Assets Filder: added support for searching in the documents/Composer/Tutorial/Media folder.
