+**FidelityFuze `v1.2.0`** is out now.
+
+The creator, Sebastian writes:
+
+> It’s a native Final Cut Pro plugin: built for real-time upscaling, and version 1.2.0 introduces a major new capability — fully integrated Noise Reduction, powered by our custom render pipeline.
+>
+> ## Noise Reduction, Without Compromise
+>
+> This isn’t a blur pass or a temporal trick — it’s a dedicated solution that removes sensor noise and compression artifacts while preserving edge sharpness and texture. It runs entirely on the GPU, directly inside the Final Cut timeline. No caching, no roundtrips, no delay.
+>
+> Choose between Gentle, Balanced, and Aggressive modes to adapt to your footage. Whether you’re dealing with soft grain, macroblocking, or noisy highlights, FidelityFuze gives you clean output with minimal effort — and zero structural smearing.
+>
+> ---
+>
+> ## Reworked Detail Recovery
+>
+> We’ve completely rebuilt the Detail Recovery pass from the ground up. The new version delivers cleaner, more natural results — sharper structure, less aliasing, reduced haloing, and no more noise amplification. It enhances where it helps and stays invisible where it doesn’t.
+>
+> As part of this revamp, we’ve introduced a new _Detail Sensitivity_ parameter. It gives you control over how aggressively fine texture is preserved or suppressed, making it easier to balance clarity with noise handling — especially in scenes with low contrast or heavy compression.
+>
+> We’ve also added a _Post-Upscale Detailing_ control. This pass sharpens upscaled output if additional clarity is desired. It’s simple to dial in and can help add crispness where needed — especially in cases where footage benefits from a subtle digital edge.
