From this input to this video

An announcement using Linear’s October 8 release and actual product imagery to show the workflow.

Prompt

Create a 30-second feature announcement video for Linear, a product development platform for engineering teams reviewing stacked code changes. Use this release source: https://linear.app/changelog/2026-10-08-stacked-pull-requests. The new feature is stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs: the October 8, 2026 release shows every pull request in a stack with its review, CI and merge status. Open on the problem users had before: following the status of related pull requests across a stack. Show how stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs solves it — use motion graphics over the real product UI or a provided URL screenshot; do not invent fake screens. Tone: clear and practical. End on the product logo with the line Explore stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs. Channel: LinkedIn in landscape 16:9. Voiceover language: English; if no voiceover, use on-screen captions and light background music.

Read the video transcript

Stacked pull requests keep big changes small. But following a stack meant jumping between pull requests, checking each review, each CI run and each merge on its own. Now Linear Diffs shows the whole stack in one place. See where you are, move through every pull request, and read review, CI and merge status at a glance. Related PRs are grouped into a single row in Reviews, with their issue and project context. Explore stacked pull requests in Linear Diffs.
