Product Update: Chapter Cards, Brand Color Roles, and Custom Bookends — September 14, 2026

A scene can now open with its own Chapter card: a short title phase that stays attached to that scene. You can also give colors in Brand Kit specific jobs and use an image or video from your media library as an intro or outro. This week’s changes make the aspect ratio easier to find and improve several moments where editing or downloading could fail.

What's new

Put a Chapter card before a scene

Open a scene in the editor and choose Chapter card. Turn on Show before this scene, then edit the title, optional subtitle, scene number, and template. The one-second card appears before that scene in playback and export. It shares the scene’s number and timeline tile, so it does not add another scene to manage.

Give Brand Kit colors a purpose

In Brand Kit, a color can now be assigned to Primary, Secondary, Accent, Background, Text, or Muted text. You can also give a swatch your own name for a job the standard roles do not cover. Review imported colors and assign their jobs before creating a video; an unassigned role is chosen for readable contrast at render time.

Set up Brand Kit

Use your own intro or outro media

From the storyboard, choose Add scene, then Intro / Outro. Alongside the branded Slide templates, you can choose an uploaded image or video from your device or media library. Preview the selected media and add it as the opening or closing bookend. The new choice is for intro and outro scenes; it does not replace the media already used in the main story.

Edit scenes and bookends

A clearer setup and steadier finish

The composer now shows the current aspect ratio beside the voice control. Select it to cycle through the ratios supported by the chosen video type. Public Screencast and Screencast + Avatar modes can use landscape, vertical, or square output; the separate fixed Screencast variants remain restricted to landscape.

Choose duration and aspect ratio

Agentic 4K downloads now use the intended output dimensions across landscape, portrait, and square frames, and Studio checks the conversation owner’s plan before accepting a quality choice. We also fixed narration staging and image resizing in Slide scenes, cancellation of scheduled subscriptions, and the credit-recovery message when a video turn runs out of credits. Uploaded-video setup now waits for processing before the initial script request proceeds.

Download and export a video

Try it in Studio

Open a current project to add a Chapter card or intro/outro, or start a new video to choose its aspect ratio before generation. Check the preview and the displayed credit estimate before rendering new work.
