**FidelityFuze 1.4.0** quietly shipped earlier this month.  
It is a smaller update focused on making the first run smoother for new users and trial testers.

**Quick Setup Check**

Opening the app for the first time now shows a **welcome and setup screen**. It provides a short overview of the plugin and guides you through the **initial project configuration**.  

The goal is to help new users avoid common early mistakes such as incorrect clip setup or confusion about **compound** and **adjustment layers**.

**About FidelityFuze**

**FidelityFuze** is a **native Final Cut Pro plugin** for **real-time video upscaling**.  It doubles resolution directly in the timeline from **1080p to 4K** or from **4K to 8K**. There are no proxies, no exports and no round-tripping.  

It uses fast, predictable algorithms rather than generative AI. It includes **noise reduction** and **detail recovery**. It is built for **Apple Silicon** and **Metal-accelerated** for smooth playback and clean output.

You can **download the update or start the 7-day trial** at [https://fidelityfuze.com](https://fidelityfuze.com).
