Product Update: Dynamic Overlays

Changelog

2.5.1

Dynamic Data Overlays

AutomationOverlaysData

Stop manually typing titles for every single video. Dynamic Overlays let you bind text elements to video metadata.

  • Metadata Binding: Connect text layers to {video.title}, {collection.name}, or {speaker.name}.
  • Context-Aware Styling: If a title is too long, the overlay automatically adjusts its size or wraps text according to your brand rules.
  • Batch Processing: Apply a single dynamic template to a folder of 50 videos, and each one will render with its unique title and speaker name.

4:5 Social Templates

TemplatesSocialFormats

We've expanded our template library to include native support for the 4:5 aspect ratio, the gold standard for feed-based consumption.

  • Feed-First Layouts: Captions and overlays are positioned specifically to avoid UI elements on Instagram and LinkedIn mobile apps.
  • Smart Reframing: Our AI automatically reframes 16:9 landscape footage to focus on the speaker within the taller 4:5 frame.
  • Platform Presets: One-click export settings for LinkedIn Video and Instagram Posts.

Smoother Bumper Transitions

TransitionsEditorPolish

Hard cuts are harsh. We've added a suite of transitions specifically designed for intro and outro bumpers.

  • Cross-Dissolve & Dip-to-Black: Classic, cinematic transitions that smooth the gap between your branded intro and the main content.
  • Motion Blur Wipes: Modern, high-energy transitions perfect for social content.
  • Duration Control: Fine-tune the length of the transition to match the pacing of your music.
2.4.1

Precision Asset Control

EditorUI/UXAssets

No more cropped logos or stretched background images. We've added CSS-like object-fit controls to the template editor.

  • Object Fit Options: Choose between cover, contain, or fill for all image and video assets in your bumpers and overlays.
  • Focal Point Setting: Define the center of attention for your images so intelligent cropping never cuts off the important parts.
  • Responsive Preview: Instantly see how your assets will behave when repurposed from 16:9 to 9:16.

Brand Standards 2.0

BrandingAssetsCore

We've rebuilt the Brand Standards engine from the ground up to give you more control over how your identity is applied to generated video.

  • Global Asset Inheritance: Sub-accounts now strictly inherit brand assets from the parent organization unless explicitly overridden.
  • Typography Guardrails: Enforce specific font weights and line heights for captions to prevent "off-brand" text rendering.
  • Color Palette Locking: Restrict editors to only use approved primary and secondary brand colors for manual overlays.
2.5.2

B-Roll Montage Templates

TemplatesAutomationB-Roll

Turn static talking heads into dynamic stories with our new B-Roll Montage engine.

  • Auto-Beat Sync: Automatically cuts your b-roll footage to match the beat of your background music for maximum impact.
  • Contextual Selection: Our AI analyzes the spoken transcript and pulls the most relevant clips from your media library to illustrate the point.
  • Style Presets: Choose from pre-configured editing styles like "Fast Paced," "Cinematic Slow," or "Corporate Clean" to match the vibe of your video.
2.3.5

Background Music Support

AudioTemplatesEditor

Silence isn't always golden. We've added comprehensive background music controls to the template editor to help set the mood for your content.

  • Track Management: Upload your own brand-approved tracks or choose from our royalty-free library.
  • Smart Looping: Enable seamless looping for longer videos so the music never cuts out unexpectedly.
  • Precision Audio Mixing: Set the exact volume level relative to the speaker's voice, and configure custom fade-in and fade-out durations.
  • Bumper Integration: Choose whether the music plays through the intro/outro bumpers or only during the main content.
