Release notes

New

• The studio in English and Dutch: it follows the language in your account, and so do its messages. Change it under Account and plan.
• The pages you send through a link (client review, presenter recording, recording your own voice) open in the language of the person's browser.
• A sentence filmed on a phone gets a look that fits the brand: black and white with grain, or a duotone in the brand's colours; and as filmed, without its background on the brand, or in a phone as a live call, neutral or in the brand's colours.
• Release notes on the site: what changed, release by release.
• Films in a video style open their own way: kinetic typography lands the title on the beat, the explaining style counts up the episode number, hand-drawn writes it out, and product demo, cartoon, cinematic, isometric, collage and documentary each have an opening of their own.
• Four openings drawn in 3D: a flowing field in the brand's colour, particles that gather into the title, the logo in 3D, or the title as liquid chrome (chrome needs GPU rendering; otherwise the style's own opening plays).
• Title on or off: a project or your own style can leave the title out of the film entirely.
• Owners and admins change a team member's role in the team list.
• Members can leave a workspace themselves.
• The studio on a phone: your production as a list, each film to watch, where every step stands, and the script to read and approve.
• Keys get their own page: every provider with what it is used for and whether it is set up.
• Delete a render or a voice you no longer need, from its panel or with the Delete key; the studio says first what goes with it.

Improved

• A filmed sentence that the AI voice reads follows that voice: each word is seen said when the voice says it, instead of the take playing from its start.
• A new tour film on the website, in English and in Dutch: everything the studio does today, from the board to your phone.
• The ⌘K palette reaches everything: costs, video styles, own voices, team, voices and renders, a new project or voice, the assistant, your other workspaces and signing out. The best match comes first, the arrows go round, and shortcuts show next to their item.
• Polish across the studio: the production board and the film bar no longer cut off or overlap their text, counts read "1 clip" and "3 clips", times read "9 Oct, 23:06" in your own time zone, costs show what they were for and the provider by name, and technical details such as model names and codecs are gone.
• The raw preview plays on the studio's own controls: space, the arrows, Home and End, and the timeline.
• A calmer studio: one main button per screen (making something again is a quiet button), the timeline only where something plays, pages that use the full width with the side panel folded away (I brings it back), a production board with a dot per step, and smooth, short transitions.
• Script rows grow with their text, the archive groups renders per episode with readable dates, money reads the way your language writes it, and the site shows the studio in your language.
• Keyboard: board rows and side panel folds are reachable with Tab, F6 moves between panels, and every new screen and key is in the ⌘K palette.
• Keyboard: Enter on the board opens what's next again after you clicked in the side panel, focus rings show only when you use the keyboard, and the palette key reads Ctrl K outside a Mac.
• Styles that fill the frame (typography, cinematic, documentary) no longer carry the small heading in the corner.
• Inviting someone who is already in the team is caught with a clear message instead of sending a second invitation.

Fixed

• Portrait phone videos are framed upright; their size was read sideways.
• The tour film on the website plays again, now also on iPhone and in Safari.

New

• A public site in English and Dutch. Sign up with a confirmed e-mail address and try everything free for 14 days, no card needed.
• Three plans by minutes of finished film (Maker, Pro and Studio), Enterprise on request, and packs of extra minutes that never expire. Previews never count.
• Workspaces: one plan covers every workspace you own. Invite colleagues by e-mail as admin, editor or viewer.
• Bring your own keys for every provider, Anthropic included. Copy a key to another workspace you manage without ever seeing it.
• Nine video styles for a series, a film or a single sentence: explaining with data, kinetic typography, product demo, hand-drawn, flat cartoon, cinematic, isometric, collage and documentary. Each moves its own way on the voice: numbers count up, words land on the beat, a cursor clicks, a pencil draws. Make, import and export your own styles too.
• Own voices: record your voice with spoken consent and have it made in your own ElevenLabs account. Withdraw it at any time and it is deleted there and here.
• Raw preview: watch the film in the browser straight away, before or instead of a render.
• Film the picture for each sentence on a phone through a link, with the back camera. Keep your own sound or let the AI voice read the sentence.
• A series from a brochure (PDF) as well as from a website, as the right kind of film: public information, educational or sales. A series from a website brings the site's own photos along.
• Make a brand kit yourself: name, colours, fonts and end card.
• A new workspace opens on a getting-started list: keys, first project, brand and first film, each with its status.
• Your account: download all your data or delete the account, and the legal pages (terms, privacy, data processing addendum, AI transparency).

Improved

• People are framed: pictures and clips are placed so faces sit inside the brand's shape, and with several people the frame moves calmly from face to face.
• Cleaner sound: recordings are trimmed to the speech and cleaned of rumble and noise, films are levelled to the loudness platforms play at, and music ducks under spoken words.
• Recordings are checked against the script for missed words, and the AI voice is listened back for words that may not sound as written.
• Suggestions from your own pictures for each sentence, warnings for dark, blurry or shaky shots, and long uploads cut into shots.
• Recordings play inside the studio, and the autocue can be mirrored for a teleprompter mirror.
• Finished personage clips can be used in the film, and a soft fade is the default transition.

Fixed

• Renders no longer stay on 'rendering' after the film is in.
• A logo is no longer used as a picture shape.
• When the GPU is not available, rendering falls back to the CPU instead of waiting in the queue.

New

• The editor: a production board with one next step per episode, the steps Script, Voice, Presenter and Film, a command palette (⌘K), activity and notifications.
• Projects, episodes and scripts with approval, rendered as films in your brand, also in 9:16 for social.
• Brand kits drafted from a brand manual (PDF) or from your website, approved by a person.
• A new project from your website: every sentence tied to the page it rests on.
• Voices by ElevenLabs with word timing, so pictures and words follow the voice.
• Recording studio: presenters record their on-camera parts through a link, with a karaoke autocue that follows their pace.
• Personages: character sheets and animated clips, and lip-synced presenter shots. Real people only with their recorded consent.
• An image for each sentence in the brand's style.
• Music with a beat grid: cuts and motion land on the beat. GPU rendering with smoother transitions and motion blur.
• Direction per series: the look of the pictures, voice speed and delivery, and how names are pronounced.
• Client review: a share link where clients watch, approve and comment at any moment in the film.
• The assistant: a conversation that sees your production and proposes changes you apply with one click.
• Costs: every provider call is recorded and shown per episode and per month.

Fixed

• Pictures no longer shake on the beat.
• Renders with motion blur have sound again.
• Saving motion or direction settings no longer takes the project's music off.
