Butter v2 —
Rebuilt to scale what works.

Eight updates across the platform: a faster engine, a rebuilt editor, deeper analytics, and smarter variant generation. Less time wrangling content — more reach from the winners you already have.

Scheduling & Auto-Posting

New

Plan your calendar once and let Butter take it from there. Queue your variants, set per-account timing, and Butter posts to your connected Instagram accounts on schedule — with manual control whenever you want to step in.

Scheduling & Auto-Posting in Butter v2
  • Smart queue management across all connected accounts
  • Per-account posting schedules with timezone awareness
  • Automatic retry and conflict resolution
  • Real-time posting status in the dashboard

Viral-Proven Template Library

New

Every template in the library is hand-built and performance-marked — proven viral on the accounts that scaled with it. AI-tagged so your library wires up automatically: pick a template, ship a fresh variant on every render. No editor required.

Viral-Proven Template Library in Butter v2
  • Hand-built, performance-marked templates — every one has the receipts
  • Filter by Trending, Popular, Hot, and New — see what is working right now
  • AI-tagged compositions wire up to your library automatically
  • Pick a template, ship a fresh variant every render — no editor required

New Content Editor

Improved

A completely rebuilt editor built for speed and precision. Frame-accurate trimming, overlay management, hook testing — all without leaving Butter. What used to take a dedicated tool now takes seconds.

New Content Editor in Butter v2
  • Frame-accurate clip trimming and splicing
  • Real-time text overlay editor with style presets
  • Side-by-side A/B preview before generating variants
  • Batch edit across multiple clips simultaneously

Smarter Repurposing Engine

Improved

v2 brings a fundamentally improved repurposing algorithm. Better signal extraction, more intelligent variant differentiation, and a new pacing engine that creates clips that feel native to each platform — not recycled.

Smarter Repurposing Engine in Butter v2
  • Platform-native output: aspect ratios and lengths optimized per destination
  • Accounts are now infinitely scalable — point them at proven winners and the engine keeps shipping fresh variants
  • Improved color grading pipeline with perceptual consistency
  • Deduplication: no account ever gets the same variant twice

Advanced Analytics Dashboard

New

CPM trends, view velocity, engagement rates, and account health — all in one place. New cohort analysis shows you which content formats compound over time versus spike and fade.

Advanced Analytics Dashboard in Butter v2
  • CPM, views, and engagement per post, account, and content type
  • Content velocity tracking — which clips keep gaining views
  • Cohort analysis for long-tail vs. viral performance
  • Exportable reports for client presentations

Faster Across the Board

Improved

Butter v2 is meaningfully faster. Dashboard loads, variant generation, and media processing have all been optimized. Large accounts with 100+ videos and 20+ connected accounts now load in under 2 seconds.

  • 3× faster variant generation pipeline
  • Dashboard load time under 2s for large accounts
  • Streaming media upload with background processing
  • Optimistic UI updates — no more waiting for server confirmation

Redesigned User Experience

Improved

The entire app has been redesigned with clarity and speed in mind. Fewer clicks to the most common actions, smarter defaults, and a redesigned onboarding flow that gets new users to their first scheduled batch of variants in under 10 minutes.

Redesigned User Experience in Butter v2
  • Redesigned sidebar with quick-access shortcuts
  • Command palette for power users (⌘K)
  • Guided onboarding with milestone tracking
  • Context-aware empty states with actionable next steps

Smarter Tagging & Upload

Improved

A unified tagging system across content, text overlays, and trending audio — so every clip you upload knows what it is and what it pairs with. The new upload wizard is a four-step, drop-and-forget flow: pick a client, choose the type, drop files, review.

Smarter Tagging & Upload in Butter v2
Smarter Tagging & Upload in Butter v2
  • Unified tags across content, overlay, and audio scopes — one taxonomy, three layers
  • Tag overlays with hooks, CTAs, and intent so the engine picks the right one per variant
  • Four-step upload wizard with bulk drag-and-drop (up to 20 files, 150 MB each)
  • Auto-organization by client and content type — no folder wrangling
