Clip content allows you to restrict text content from overflowing on fixed dimensions. This enables you to maintain text spacing standards when collaborating with others AND introduces another way to animate your text layers.

To use this new feature, select your text layer and toggle the “Clip Content” setting on the Dimensions panel. Clip content only affects the render of Fixed dimensions layers.

Improvements & Fixes

• Effects: Fixed a rendering issue with Twirl effect that made it render inconsistently at different zoom levels.

• Timeline: When a child layer of a hidden group is selected on the canvas, the group will be unfurled, and the child layer will be highlighted on the Timeline.

• Timeline: Added right click menu options for trimming layers and setting selection start/end points.

• Timeline: Added snapping for work area adjustments.

• Misc: While editing Transform Origin, the Enter keyboard shortcut now only exits the Transform Origin edit mode instead of entering shape edit mode.

• Misc: When duplicating layers, any layer links will be kept. If a parent was also part of the selected duplication, the duplicated children will be linked to the new parent. If a parent is not part of the selection, duplicated children are linked to the existing parent layer.

• Canvas: Resolved an issue causing layers with masks to occasionally display artifacts during playback or exports.

• Timeline: Resolved an issue that led to layers shifting in time on the timeline when trying to modify the layer's duration.

• Misc: Disabled browser auto-complete prompts. These prompts occasionally caused app crashes when an invalid value was entered into a property input.

• Added eyedropper tool shortcut I.

• Exports: Added 'My Exports' and 'Team Exports' to the export queue. Now, you can easily see who trigger different export versions of your project when working with teammates.

• Assets: Enhanced image loading and playback performance when working with very large images.

• Fixed a crash issue that occurred when attempting to create cyclical masks. Now, if you try to mask a layer with an incompatible layer, the Editor will notify you and prevent the layers from being linked.

• Graphics: Resolved an issue causing layers with raster effects, such as Drop Shadow and Wave Warp, near the edge of the artboard boundaries to render unexpectedly.

• Effects: Resolved a crash issue that occurred when setting the Wave Warp width to 0.

• Assets: Fixed an issue which was preventing assets and components from being deleted in the Asset Browser.

• Misc: Added keyboard shortcuts for creating transform and layer opacity keyframes.

  • ⌥ + P - set keyframe for layer position

  • ⌥ + R - set keyframe for layer rotation

  • ⌥ + S - set keyframe for layer scale

  • ⌥ + T - set keyframe for layer opacity

• Misc: Corrected an issue that resulted in new projects displaying a different duration than what appeared on the Timeline.

• Misc: Resolved an issue that was causing the Editor to crash when setting the scale of a compound shape to 0.

• Exports: Resolved various export failures.

• Shapes: Resolved an issue that prevented the Corner radius property from rendering correctly on compound shapes or when applying a 'trim path' effect.

• Graphics: Fixed rendering artifacts that appeared at the edges of transparent images.

• Graphics: Removed a black rendering artifact that occurred when using groups with certain blend modes.

• Inspector: When you use the eyedropper tool, the HEX value in the color picker now updates correctly.

• Inspector: Restored the ability to use the eyedropper tool to adjust gradient stops.

• Timeline: Resolved an issue causing the timeline scrubber to continue dragging even when not selected.

• Timeline: Fixed an issue that caused the entire Timeline panel to be draggable when using a trackpad with MacOS.

• Inspector: Added the ability to align linked layers within the same multi-selection. Now, these layers will align with each other, disregarding their linked relationship.

• Canvas: Improved reliability of selecting and modifying transform properties of groups and their children.

• Canvas: Added ability to double click group children to select them.

• Canvas: Layers on the canvas are now only selectable at the current time.

• Canvas: Added the ability to remove layers from a selection with the Shift (⇧) modifier.

• Canvas: The Option (⌥) modifier to duplicate a layer now works at any point when dragging a layer. Previously, this worked only when initiating the drag.

• Canvas: Added the ability to move hidden layers on the canvas if they're selected on the Timeline – useful for adjusting mask positions on the canvas.

• Canvas: Disabled layer snapping to layers no visible at the current time.

• Canvas: Improved general multi-selection interactions while using the Shift (⇧) modifier

• Exports: Resolved an export failure that occurred because of missing fonts.

• Particles: Fixed an issue with particle color that prevented changes from being saved upon reloading or exporting the project. Now, the gradient color should load and export consistently with what is displayed on the canvas.

• Prism: Combined the preview toggle button and loading indicator. You can now open and close the preview panel by clicking the status indicator.

• Inspector: Fixed an issue with transform origin mode where selecting an input would exit the mode before allowing changes.

• Timeline: Fixed a crash that occurred when you attempted to proportionally scale keyframes on the Timeline.

• Shapes: Fixed an issue that prevented shapes from being closed while editing with the pen tool in Shape Edit mode.

• Shapes: By default, primitive shapes will start with constrained scale proportions.

• Figma: Images imported from Figma will now be named with their layer name from Figma.

• Figma: If you attempt to paste a text layer that uses a font not supported by Fable, we’ll still import as native text layer, but with the default font family. Previously, these layers did not import.

• Effects: Fixed the “animate by” property on text transitions. Now animate by word and animate by line work as-expected.

• Figma: Resolved an issue in Fable where color opacity was incorrectly applied to layer opacity. Now, color opacity settings on Figma layers only affect color opacity on Fable layers.

• Figma: Fixed an issue that caused images that are part of groups to be imported incorrectly in Fable.

• Figma: Fixed an issue causing layers outside frames to be imported in the wrong order.

• Figma: Plugin now shows which layers will be imported as images rather than as native Fable layers.

• Shapes: Fixed an issue that caused Subtract and Intersect compound shapes to render incorrectly.

• Exports: Fixed an issue that caused exports to fail if the file name had too many characters.

• Misc: Enabled zoom out on the zoom tool. Hold the ⌥ key when using the zoom tool z.

• Effects: Resolved an issue that was causing the wave warp effect to inaccurately modify the layer color when applied to a group.

• Effects: Fixed an issue that caused project resolution to degrade when applying wave warp.

• Exports: Restored ability to cancel exports in queue.

• Prism: Added a new loading state for Prism previews.

• Figma plugin: Fixed an error notification that was displayed when trying to import images using the Figma plugin.

• Figma plugin: Layers imported from the plugin will now be named according to their corresponding Figma layer name.

• Text: Resolved an issue that occasionally led to the removal of the wrong character when deleting characters on text layers.

• Figma plugin: Added support for importing custom shapes with rounded corners.

• General: Playing your project no longer collapses the left sidebar.

• General: The reliability of using the Space bar for playback has been improved. Now, it should trigger playback anytime when an input is not selected.
