v1.19.0

What's New

v1.19.0Jul 2, 2026
  • Passwordless sign-in — enter your email and we'll send you a one-time secure link. Old paste-and-you're-in login is gone, so your account is safe even if someone knows your email address
  • Studio Founder Lifetime buyers now get unlimited access the instant Pinball fires — the webhook auto-flags you as a Founder so there's no waiting for a manual grant
  • AppSumo redemption + auto-provisioning is live — buyers get their tier, entitlements, and BYOK toggle set the moment they redeem their license key
  • Tier names cleaned up — Starter ($49) / Pro ($179) / Pro Plus ($349) / Founder. The phantom 'Creator' name that never matched a real product is retired
  • Founder members keep unlimited access to everything — no quotas, no changes
v1.18.4Jul 1, 2026
  • Faceless scene stills now generate through Gemini Nano Banana instead of Flux — more professional photorealism, lower cost, comes off the Emergent Universal Key balance instead of fal.ai per-call billing
  • Content-hash cache preserved so identical scenes still return instantly on regenerate
  • Flux stays as a silent fallback if Nano Banana ever rate-limits, so renders don't crash mid-pipeline
  • 'AI' source pill relabeled 'AI Still' to set the right expectation — this is a photograph, not motion video (motion is coming as a separate premium lane)
  • Roadmap Faceless mode blurb updated to reflect the new stock-first + Nano Banana workflow
v1.18.3Jun 30, 2026
  • Fixed: Avatar renders with long scripts were failing at 45% with a wall of raw HeyGen error JSON. HeyGen's API caps script text at 5,000 characters (about 750 words) — we now catch this BEFORE submitting so you see a clean, friendly hint instead
  • New: live character counter next to the script textarea in Studio shows exactly how close you are to the 5,000-char cap (muted → amber near limit → red over)
  • New: always-visible mode-limit hint next to the 'Script' label — Avatar: 5,000 chars (~750 words) · Faceless: any length
  • The friendly-error text and the hint both recommend switching to Faceless mode when Avatar is too short for your content — Faceless has no character limit because its voiceover is chunked scene-by-scene
  • Both single-aspect and both-aspects renders share the same guard, so long scripts can't break either path
v1.18.2Jun 30, 2026
  • Public nav (Roadmap · Changelog · Sign in) now lives in the main header on the same row as the logo and theme toggle — no more separate row of links below the hero
  • Footer now renders on the login page too, so the version pill and 'What's New' dot are visible from your very first visit
  • Refreshed the roadmap copy — it now reads for every customer (Founders, lifetime-deal holders, and everyone who joins us later), not just one launch partner
  • Renamed Shipped 'Redemption flow' → 'Redemption codes' and In Progress 'Production launch' so the language stays audience-neutral
v1.18.1Jun 30, 2026
  • Fixed: thumbnail prompt copy-over was truncating to the `[matches "..."]` label (~57 chars) instead of the full 500-700 char prompt body. Now the entire cover concept lands in the textarea when you click a chip
  • Roadmap is now editable — admins can add, edit, reorder, and delete items inline directly on /roadmap. Buyers see the polished read-only version
  • Added Script Revision Tools (TOP REQUEST), Brand Voice Profiles, Authority Content Templates, Content Series Builder to Planned
  • Added Approval Workflow, Multilingual Scripts, and Agency / White-label to Considering
  • Added the positioning subhead: "the AI studio for off-camera authority content — built for consultants, coaches, experts, and speakers"
  • Landing page now has a top-right nav (Roadmap · Changelog · Sign in) so reviewers can browse before signing up
  • New public /changelog page with a timeline view of every shipped version
  • Scripts page shows a one-shot release banner pointing to the roadmap — dismisses per version
v1.18.0Jun 30, 2026
  • New public Roadmap page — see what we've shipped, what we're building now, and what's coming next. Linked from the footer (no login required)
  • Shipped column highlights Script Engine, Studio Avatar + Faceless, Thumbnail Engine, BYOK vault, and redemption codes
  • Tell us which Considering item matters most — top requests get fast-tracked into Planned
v1.17.0Jun 30, 2026
  • Light mode polish round 2 — the 'FACELESS TO FINISHED · VIDEO ENGINE' eyebrow and the 'Owner · unlimited renders' pill are now properly legible on the pale background. Studio and Thumbnails pages both fixed
  • Settings/Keys page (BYOK) — all 6 service cards now render clean white in light mode with crisp dark text. No more dark-gray boxes on lavender
  • Dark mode remains untouched — beautiful as ever
v1.16.0Jun 30, 2026
  • Light mode polish — Thumbnails page is no longer a sea of dark-gray boxes in light mode. The form card, prompt textarea, Engine/Aspect chips, and every gallery tile now use clean white surfaces with proper purple-gray text, copper-accented active states, and subtle shadows
  • Dark mode is unchanged — same gorgeous palette
v1.15.0Jun 30, 2026
  • Cross-origin auth fixed — the deployed app now correctly authenticates regardless of which subdomain the frontend is served from (CORS spec fix, the previous wildcard-with-credentials combination was silently broken)
  • Behind the scenes: server.py is leaner — the caption burn-in pipeline moved to its own module with its own regression test suite; Scripts page extracts script-engine constants and the platform-accent side effect into clean reusable modules
  • No user-facing behaviour change — just faster builds, tighter codebase, fewer bugs going forward
v1.14.0Jun 30, 2026
  • Fixed Cloudflare 502 error message — when our render server briefly restarts during a deploy you'll now see 'warming back up, give it ~30 seconds' instead of a scary origin-server error
  • Studio renders now have a 5-regenerate soft-cap per script so a tweak session can't accidentally burn through your quota — fresh inputs render better than another retry anyway. Owners and Founders are exempt
  • Light mode polish — footer 'Have a redemption code?' link is finally legible, pill hover states actually change on hover, TikTok platform card uses dark ink so 'TikTok' is readable on the bright cyan fill
  • Caption burn-in pipeline now covered by a regression test suite (7 tests) — future refactors can't silently disable subtitle burn-in
v1.13.0Jun 30, 2026
  • GoHighLevel integration — every new customer (purchase webhook) and every code redemption now pushes a tagged contact to your GHL workspace automatically, with tier + source + founder tags
  • Admin Buyers tab: GHL connection pill (green when wired, amber when off), Test GHL button to verify the webhook live, per-buyer Push to GHL replay button for legacy buyers / outage recovery
  • Failures land in the activity log as ghl_push_failed so nothing slips silently
v1.12.0Jun 30, 2026
  • New API Keys settings page (Pro Plus + Founder) — plug in your own Anthropic, OpenAI, Google AI Studio, ElevenLabs, HeyGen, and fal.ai keys and your renders draw from your own provider quotas instead of ours
  • Anthropic key unlocks the Script Engine + thumbnail prompt rewriter on your own Claude quota
  • Keys are encrypted at rest and never displayed once saved — only a safe preview like 'sk-…0abc'
  • Find it in your Profile menu → API keys
  • Thumbnails — click any thumbnail in your gallery to open a full-screen preview, with Download + Copy prompt actions right there
  • Admin Usage tab — thumbnails now show up alongside scripts & renders, with Premium/Fast split in the drilldown + a new Thumbnails sort column and total tile in Stats
v1.11.0Jun 30, 2026
  • Profile dropdown menu in the header — quick access to your tier, redeem codes, and sign out from one place
  • New code redemption flow — paste any access code on the Redeem page (linked from the footer, the login screen, and your Profile menu) and we'll unlock your plan instantly
  • Tier names refreshed — Starter / Pro / Pro Plus (Founder badge unchanged for our OG legacy members)
  • Founders now get a subtle copper accent throughout the app + a 'Founder' badge in the header
  • Upgrade button appears in the quota popover when you're running low — links to the right place automatically
v1.10.2Jun 30, 2026
  • Fixed: 'Make thumbnail' now correctly extracts your 3 cover concepts from long-form scripts (was silently falling back to the truncated narration because of a markdown bold-wrapping quirk in the parser)
  • Cover concepts picker now shows all 3 options with their matching title variants — pick the one you want, or hit Generate all 3 to compare
v1.10.1Jun 30, 2026
  • Long-form scripts now get 3 Title/Thumbnail variants + 3 ready-to-go Cover Image Prompts (matches what Shorts has had all along)
  • Click 'Make thumbnail' on any new script and you'll see a picker of 3 cover concepts — choose the one you like, or hit 'Generate all 3' to compare them side-by-side
  • Dramatically upgraded the thumbnail rewriter — every prompt now bakes in viral YouTube thumbnail rules: expressive focal subject, bold color palette, dramatic cinematic lighting, clear space for overlay text
  • Final image prompts get a hidden viral-style boost suffix before they hit OpenAI — more 'top creator' production quality, less stock-photo flat
  • Confirmation prompt when you hit 'Generate all 3' on a quota-bound tier — never burn 3 slots by accident
v1.10.0Jun 30, 2026
  • NEW: Thumbnail Engine — generate click-worthy YouTube and Shorts thumbnails right inside Faceless 48. Pick Premium for hero shots or Fast for quick A/B testing
  • Built-in prompt rewriter — type a casual idea and tap 'Rewrite for me' to get a vivid, image-ready prompt
  • Three aspect ratios baked in: 16:9 for YouTube, 9:16 for Shorts/Reels/TikTok, 1:1 for Instagram feed
  • 'Make thumbnail' button in the Script Engine result view sends your script topic + opening hook straight into the new tool
  • Find Thumbnails as a top-level tab in the header alongside Script Engine and Studio
v1.9.0Jun 30, 2026
  • New render-budget pill in the Studio header — see how many renders you've used this cycle and when your next batch unlocks at a glance
  • Click the pill for the full breakdown: total renders, Avatar sub-cap (Studio Pro+), and your exact cycle reset date
  • Friendlier message when you've used your last render — no more cryptic 402s
v1.8.1Jun 29, 2026
  • What's New popup now nudges you with a subtle amber dot when there's a release you haven't seen yet — opens the popup once to dismiss
  • Last-seen timestamps now update accurately on every sign-in (was only tracking imports and webhook events before)
v1.8.0Jun 29, 2026
  • Resource Library is back — five production guides (Voiceover, B-Roll, Thumbnail, Production Map, Publishing Checklist) live in the new Resources tab
  • Fixed an issue where long Faceless videos sometimes failed at the voiceover step
  • What's New popup added to the footer (you're reading it now) — every update will land here from now on
v1.7.0Jun 25, 2026
  • Compare-all view for multi-platform shorts — see YouTube, Reels, and TikTok side-by-side in their signature colors
  • Per-platform Send-to-Studio button under each phone in compare view — one click to pick your winner
  • New 'New short / New script / New sprint' button in the result toolbar so you can start fresh without changing modes
  • Recent scripts list now filters by current mode (Shorts hides Long-form, with a pill row to toggle)
  • Phone rim color now matches the loaded script's platform — Reels = fuchsia, TikTok = teal, YouTube = red
  • YouTube cell now renders ON-SCREEN / B-ROLL chips correctly
  • TikTok captions are easier to read — switched to dark ink for legibility
  • Cleaner result-page layout — Production Notes and Cover Image Prompts now align side-by-side
  • Better color coding across script sections — B-Roll is green, On-Screen Text is cyan, Cover Image Prompts is orange
v1.6.0Jun 19, 2026
  • Faster Faceless renders — voiceover now generates in parallel with visuals (10-15 seconds saved per render)
  • Smarter B-roll selection — stock footage now actually matches your script (was getting distracted by camera-direction keywords)
  • Higher-quality stock footage — 720p floor, 1080p ceiling (no more soft 480p clips)
  • Star your favorite voices — pinned to the top of every tab plus a dedicated ★ tab
  • Star your favorite avatars — same star-toggle pattern across the full HeyGen catalog
  • Voice picker now has a Neutral tab (76 voices that were previously hidden)
  • Custom voice uploads now show up correctly in the picker
  • Avatar picker no longer gets stuck loading
  • Hook variations render cleanly without spurious blank lines
