The June 2026 release introduces new capabilities that give teams greater control over narration, visual storytelling, and video structure. Whether you're working with approved scripts or enhancing your videos with richer visual effects, these updates help you create professional product education content faster.

📝 New: Intelligent Transcript Sync

You can now upload your own TXT transcript along with a muted video and choose how Zenious synchronizes it with your screen recording.

Whether you want to preserve your transcript exactly as written or let AI intelligently refine it, Zenious gives you the flexibility to choose the workflow that best fits your content.

📄 Insert As Is

Select Insert As Is when you want Zenious to preserve your transcript exactly as provided.

Zenious generates a professional AI voiceover from your transcript and automatically synchronizes it with the actions happening on screen. There's no need to manually align scenes or adjust the narration, allowing you to quickly convert approved scripts into polished product videos.

✨ Refine with AI

Select Refine with AI when you want Zenious to use your transcript as the foundation for narration.

Zenious preserves the intent and structure of your original transcript while intelligently refining it where necessary to better match the workflow shown on screen. This helps maintain your approved messaging while ensuring the narration flows naturally and remains synchronized with the video.

This capability is ideal for teams that already have approved scripts or documentation and want to transform them into professional videos with minimal effort.

🔦 New: Spotlight Effect

We've introduced a new Spotlight effect to help direct your viewer's attention.

Unlike traditional highlights, Spotlight keeps the selected area in focus while dimming the surrounding screen, making important actions stand out more clearly.

Use Spotlight to:

• Highlight buttons, menus, or important fields

• Guide viewers through complex workflows

• Reduce visual distractions and improve focus

✨ Animated Effects

Bring your videos to life with animated visual effects.

📑 New: Insert Slides Anywhere

You can now insert slides anywhere within your video.

Unlike traditional video editors, there's no need to split clips or perform clip management before inserting a slide. Simply insert a slide wherever you need it, even in the middle of an existing scene.

Each slide supports:

• Title

• Subtitle

• AI-generated voiceover

Use slides to:

• Introduce new chapters

• Separate workflows

Slides help organize longer videos and create a more structured viewing experience.
