What's New in January 2026!

Smarter editing. Cleaner reviews. More control - end to end.

We’ve rolled out a major set of updates to help you create, polish, and review professional videos faster, with greater confidence and less friction. From branded intros to cleaner timelines and review links, this release focuses on clarity, precision, and predictability.

🎬 Branded Intros & Outros, Made Flexible

Create polished openings and closings that reflect your brand - without workarounds or guesswork.

Add Your Logo to Intros & Outros
Upload and place your logo directly within intro and outro frames for consistent branding across every video.
Full Title Styling Control
Customize the font, size, text color, and background color of your intro and outro titles to match your brand guidelines.
Reposition Titles and Logos
Freely move titles and logos within the frame to achieve the exact layout you want.
Intro & Outro Indicators in the Timeline
Clear intro and outro pills now appear in the timeline, making it easy to see where branded segments begin and end.
Simpler Custom Intro & Outro Uploads
Upload custom intro or outro videos with an improved flow-and optionally set them as the default for your entire company.
Preview-to-Export Consistency
Improvements ensure your branded intros and outros export exactly as they appear in the editor.

⏱ Timeline Improvements for Better Control

Edit with confidence and clarity - even on longer or effect-heavy videos.

Live Video & Effects Preview While Scrubbing
As you drag the playhead, the associated video frames and applied effects now update in real time-so you can see exactly what’s happening at every moment.
Dedicated Timeline Scrollbar
A new scrollbar lets you smoothly navigate across long timelines without losing context.
Improved Timeline Zoom
Zoom in for frame-level precision or zoom out to view the entire video with better responsiveness and stability.
Clearer Handling of Overlapping Effects
When multiple effects overlap in the same time range, the timeline now groups them and displays a count - making complex edits easier to understand and manage.

🎯 Effects That Stay True to Your Vision

What you preview is what you export.

More Reliable Zoom Effects
Zoom effects now behave more consistently across different resolutions, reducing surprises between preview and final export.
Layer Multiple Effects in a Scene

Resolution-Aware Effect Alignment
Effects remain correctly aligned even when video dimensions or aspect ratios change.
Visual Alignment with Snap-to Grid
Precisely position effects using a 3×3 alignment grid. Snap effects to common anchor points (top, center, bottom, left, right) and fine-tune their placement with confidence.
Full-Screen Preview with Effects
When viewing the video in full screen, all applied effects are now visible - giving you an accurate, distraction-free preview.
Accurate Editing with Timeline Hidden
Apply, adjust, and preview effects accurately even when the timeline is hidden-without impacting export output.
