Limecraft 2026.7: Workflow Automation, Cleaner Subtitles and Enterprise FLEX

With Limecraft 2026.7, we continue to emancipate repetitive work in professional media operations, while giving you more control over  workflows, resources and subscriptions.

The seventh release of 2026 introduces a brand new Workflow Library, giving you easy access to customisable no-code workflows, starting with configurable media purging. Disfluency filtering expands to more languages. Implemented as an add-on to Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), it mainly serves the subtitling process as it reduces the time spent cleaning up spoken language.

The Enterprise FLEX subscription plan introduces more adaptable capacity allocations, while subscription end dates make it easier to plan seasonal and fixed-term projects. Alongside these developments, we extend enterprise branding, refine Delivery Workspaces and address a broad range of everyday usability issues.

The release arrives ahead of SATIS Expo 2026 in Paris, where we will demonstrate how these capabilities fit into a more connected approach to production, post-production, localisation and content delivery. On 4 and 5 November, visit Limecraft at stand C41, Dock Pullman, Les Docks de Paris. Book a meeting with Limecraft at SATIS to discuss your requirements and see intelligent workflows in practice.

Introducing the Workflow Library: Purging Is the First Step

As media operations grow, recurring tasks become increasingly difficult to manage consistently, and especially deleting material is a delicate operation. Understanding which material can be removed, when it should be processed and which rules apply often depends on someone remembering to intervene. Across workspaces managing thousands of assets, manual work is not sustainable; errors are expensive.

The new Workflow Library is part of our broader initiative to make workflows easier to configure and reuse. The principle is to provide an easy way to configure automated routines by means of standard workflows, with settings that reflect professional media operations. Common processes can now be deployed consistently without intervention of engineering resources.

Over the coming releases, the Workflow Library will expand to support more material lifecycle operations, AI enrichment and media processing tasks. Release 2026.7 establishes the foundation, with purging as its first practical application.

Turn Retention Rules into Repeatable Actions

With this initial implementation, Account and Workspace Administrators can activate and manage purge workflows through the Workflow Library in Workspace Settings. Each configuration defines which clips are selected, which media version is removed and how the workflow is triggered.

For example, a workspace could be configured to remove original media added more than a year ago, while retaining other versions needed for continued access. The selection can be refined using filters, and administrators can choose the appropriate media version, such as originals or HD web proxies.

Workflows can run on a recurring schedule or be made available as a workspace action for manual execution. Configurations can be prepared before being activated, and their executions can be followed through the workflow overview.

This makes media and file retention an explicit operational rule. It helps customers consistently manage storage consumption, with fewer manual clean-up exercises at the end of a production or billing period.

Purging is the beginning of a wider scheme: a growing library of configurable workflows that turns recurring operational decisions into repeatable processes.

Disfluency Filtering: Less Clean-Up Before Subtitling

Accurate speech recognition is an essential starting point for subtitling, but then again an accurate transcript may still require considerable editorial work to turn colloquial language into a more condensed written version suitable for publication.

People hesitate, repeat themselves, restart sentences. While such details are natural in conversation, particularly in interviews and unscripted programmes, they can make subtitles unnecessarily long and hard to read. As a subtitle professional, you might spend significant amounts of non-productive time removing filler words before addressing timing, line breaks and presentation.

Disfluency filtering acts as an AI agent within the transcription workflow, condensing spoken language by removing fillers such as “um” and “uh”, hesitations and unnecessary repetitions without changing the meaning text. It performs a focused preparation task that helps subtitle professionals start from cleaner text.

Extending Clean Transcription to More Languages

First introduced for English earlier this year, disfluency filtering now supports 17 languages: Arabic, Danish, Dutch, English, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin, Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.

This extends the benefit to a much broader range of production and localisation workflows, including multilingual operations where manual clean-up has remained a significant part of the workload.

An Essential Step Towards More Efficient Post-Editing of Subtitles

Removing disfluencies before generating subtitles reduces significantly reduces the number of edits, e.g. removing unnecessary words before creating a first draft of the subtitles, where removing them later can require further adjustments to individual cues. For interviews and natural conversation, removing disfluencies before using the spotting algorithm, saves over 50% of the post-editing time.

Further to activate the disfluency filter (upon the start of a transcription job use “Clean up Output”), the workflow remains exactly the same: generate the transcript, review and correct the text, then let Limecraft apply the configured spotting rules to produce readable subtitles. Human review remains essential for meaning, terminology and the final editorial result.

Disfluency filtering is a practical application of fit-for-purpose AI. The agent handles a repetitive preparation step within the existing workflow, helping subtitlers focus their attention on decisions that require linguistic and editorial judgement.

Enterprise FLEX and Subscription End Dates: More Flexibility, More Control

Production activity rarely follows a flat pattern. A new series can generate a sharp increase in ingest, while a delivery project may temporarily require additional storage. Between productions, you may need considerably less capacity.

Enterprise FLEX introduces an additional subscription option that retains the enterprise feature set while allowing organisations to adjust their allocations for Cloud Storage, Ingested Media and Managed Media more easily.

Adjust Capacity to the Production Cycle

When subscribed to Enterprise FLEX, capacity allocated in blocks that can be added or removed through account settings by authorised staff. Additional blocks become available immediately, while reductions take effect at the end of the current billing period.

For temporary peaks, an option to upgrade for the current billing period only allows extra capacity to expire automatically at the period’s end. This is useful when a production needs additional headroom without making that increase an ongoing commitment. The model gives you an explicit capacity allocation to work against. Added blocks are charged in full for the billing period, and removing capacity does not generate a credit for the current period.

For producers and service providers with changing workloads, Enterprise FLEX makes it easier to align resource commitments with the work ahead. Contact Limecraft to discuss whether this plan suits your operation.

Set the End Date Before the Project Starts

Alongside Enterprise FLEX, release 2026.7 introduces subscription end dates for seasonal and fixed-term engagements.

A subscription can now be configured with an end date upfront. When that date is reached, the subscription is automatically deactivated, preventing further subscription invoices beyond the agreed period. The end date is visible in the subscription summary. Account Administrators receive email reminders one month and one week before expiry, while the Account Owner can adjust the date through Billing & Invoicing.

For a temporary production, short-term assignment or seasonal service, this provides a clearer connection between the project schedule and the subscription period. It also reduces the administrative work of remembering to stop a subscription once the assignment has finished.

Enhanced Custom Branding for Enterprise Plans

A shared media workspace is often a very visible part of an organisation’s relationship with external contributors, production partners and customers. A consistent identity helps contributors and partners recognise where they are working and where they are expected to deliver content.

Limecraft 2026.7 extends the custom branding options available to Enterprise customers. A custom product name can now appear in the browser page title and in upload instructions within Delivery Workspaces. A custom favicon adds the organisation’s chosen icon to the browser tab. Brand colours can be used in more interface elements, including selected checkboxes, toggles and the lines beneath tabs.

Together, these refinements create a more coherent branded experience across production workspaces and delivery workspaces. Enterprise customers can contact Limecraft Support to configure the additional branding options.

Delivery Workspaces: Clearer Intake and Review

Delivery Workspaces provide a structured environment for requesting, receiving and reviewing media and accompanying information. Release 2026.7 improves several steps in that process, making it easier for contributors to submit material and for reviewers to understand what requires their attention.

Drag and Drop

Contributors can now drag files directly into the browser to upload them to a delivery request when files are transferred through Limecraft or MASV. This simplifies a frequently repeated action, particularly when a request contains several files.

Drag-and-drop support is not currently available for IBM Aspera uploads.

Feedback Where It Matters

Comments on submission, approval, rejection and archiving can now be configured separately in the request template. For each action, comments can be mandatory, optional or omitted. Required comments can also have a minimum length.

For example, you may require an explanation why material is rejected, while allowing a straightforward submission without an additional comment. The template can now reflect that distinction, capturing useful feedback at the relevant step.

Level Complexity to Fit the Operation

Delivery Workspaces can now open directly in the request listing, giving operational users immediate access to outstanding deliveries. Grouping options that are not relevant to a particular implementation can also be hidden.

When a request is awaiting review, the listing shows the assigned reviewer, making the next responsibility clearer. Validation messages have been refined, and closing a request dialogue preserves the expanded groups in the overview.

These changes are designed to reduce navigation and make it easier to move between deliveries without losing context.

Other Improvements

Alongside these headline features, Limecraft 2026.7 includes numerous quality of life improvements across Limecraft production workspaces and Limecraft Edge.

Browser uploads are more resilient to short network interruptions, and removing suggested metadata values displays a warning about the potential impact.

Managed Media quota checks now consider the actual usage rather than the maximum recorded during the current period. This makes quota checks respond more directly to clean-up activity.

The multicam player can use Camera ID as well as Recording Device to identify viewing angles, extending compatibility with existing scripted workflows. A scrollbar also makes larger sets of cameras easier to navigate.

Further corrections preserve marker selections when configuring an export to the edit suite, restore watermark generation based on custom fields, and improve navigation from Collection Builder. Custom workflow notifications also follow the application’s notification style more consistently.

Using Limecraft Edge, File Verification can now deliver a combined manifest formats, such as MHL and JSON, and allow operations such as retries to proceed when a previous manifest remains in place.

Each addresses a specific point of friction. Across repeated daily operations, they help make ingest, preparation, review and delivery more dependable.
