Limecraft 2025.8: User-Controlled Notifications, Live Set Feedback, And Advanced AAF Export

Limecraft has announced the release of Limecraft 2025.8, the eighth and final major platform update of the year. This release strengthens daily workflows across production and post-production of live shows by focusing on three recurring customer priorities: personal control, real-time insight, and efficiency in editorial handovers.

At the centre of the 2025.8 release is a new user-controlled Notification Centre which allows individual users to define which events they want to be notified about, how notifications are delivered, and where they appear. Notifications are configured at user level rather than account level, reflecting Limecraft’s approach of empowering individual roles while maintaining system governance. Application-level notifications and essential system-level messages are now bundled by a single in-app Notification Centre, reducing distractions without sacrificing visibility.

The release also introduces native integration with the Live Timecode Notes app by editingtools.io, closing an important gap between production and post-production of studio shows. Time-coded notes captured on set can now be imported directly into Limecraft as structured metadata, automatically appearing as review comments or subclips linked to the correct media. This enables editors to access context-rich feedback as soon as material arrives, significantly reducing manual logging and interpretation time in edit suites.

In addition, Limecraft 2025.8 further extends AAF export capabilities for Avid Media Composer workflows, particularly for complex multi-camera and multi-team productions. Users gain greater control over track mapping, multicam grouping, timecode-based auto-sequencing, and clip colouring. The result is cleaner and more predictable timelines plus a smoother handover from asset management to editorial.

Alongside these headline features, the release includes targeted productivity improvements, such as extended keyboard shortcuts in the subtitle editor, designed to support fast-paced subtitling and compliance workflows.
