Product Updates

The latest features and improvements to AI Story Video.

Smarter Prompt Triage Before Generation

Before generation starts, AI Story Video now reads what kind of input you provided and only asks follow-up questions when clarification is needed.

  • Complete stories and finished scripts start immediately without extra steps
  • Unfinished story excerpts can be completed before video creation
  • Short ideas or visual prompts can turn into selectable story directions
  • Generated story directions and scripts now follow the language of your input

Animated Word-by-Word Captions

Captions now animate with the voice, making each spoken word feel smoother, more energetic, and easier to follow.

  • Active words now smoothly scale, lift, and return instead of switching color instantly
  • Leading and trailing punctuation is cleaned from captions for a cleaner look
  • Words Per Screen lets you choose between 1 and 10 words per caption group
  • New Beasty caption style adds bold comic lettering and high-impact highlights
  • Exports now wait for caption fonts to load before rendering, improving font reliability

Cinematic Scene Motion and Transitions

Scene transitions and camera motion have been rebuilt into a more cinematic visual language, with preview timing aligned to the final export.

  • Preview, timeline, and final export timing now stay aligned with each scene's voiceover
  • Each scene now has its own entrance, motion, and exit design
  • Motion supports stronger zoom, rotation, brightness, contrast, and blur effects
  • Scenes feel faster and more varied, with cleaner motion that avoids black edges
  • Motion style can be changed per scene from the editor's Motion panel

AI-Generated Background Music

You can now generate background music that matches your story, while the music library has a cleaner structure for browsing and recommendation.

  • Choose no music, generate music from the story, or import from the library during project creation
  • AI-generated BGM creates a vocal-free, loop-ready atmosphere based on the current story
  • Generated tracks are saved to the music library and can be managed from the project editor
  • Music metadata is now organized by category, mood, theme, and tempo for cleaner browsing

Safe Zone Preview in the Editor

The editor can now show a Safe Zone overlay so you can check whether key visuals or captions may be covered on YouTube Shorts or TikTok.

  • Turn on Safe Zone from the top-right corner of the video preview
  • Switch between YouTube and TikTok layouts to compare platform UI coverage
  • The overlay is only a visual guide and is never included in exported videos
  • Available for vertical (9:16) projects on both desktop and mobile editors

Timeline Added to the Editor

The editor preview now includes a timeline, making it easier to understand timing across video, voice, and background music.

  • Desktop editor shows Video, Voice, and BGM tracks under the preview
  • Mobile editor now uses a simplified playback bar with play, pause, seeking, and time display
  • Clicking a scene jumps the preview and timeline to that scene's start
  • Clicking the timeline or crossing scene boundaries keeps the Scene List highlighted in sync

Stronger Story Hooks and Smarter Scene Lists

Story and scene generation now puts stronger hooks up front, builds with clearer narrative structure, and makes each scene's purpose easier to understand.

  • Stories now open with a sharper hook instead of slow background setup
  • Scripts automatically follow the story structure that best fits your idea
  • Scene List now highlights each scene's narrative role with visual function badges
  • Prompt-to-video input now supports up to 2000 characters for richer story ideas

Landscape Mode (16:9) Now Available

You can now create videos in landscape (16:9) format — perfect for YouTube long-form content and web embeds.

  • Choose between Portrait (9:16) or Landscape (16:9) when creating a project
  • All scene images and video clips automatically adapt to your chosen aspect ratio
  • Editor preview and final export fully support the new landscape layout
  • Subtitles are repositioned for landscape to avoid blocking key visuals

Character Customization in Project Setup

Characters are now visible and customizable before you submit your project — no more waiting to see who's in your story.

  • Browse all story characters as visual cards during project setup
  • Preview each character's name, age, gender, and description at a glance
  • Optionally generate a character portrait instantly (3 credits) or let it generate with the project
  • Pre-generated portraits are reused automatically — no duplicate charges
  • My Characters page now displays portraits in 9:16 to match video output
