Changelog

One scroll bar when making a video on phones

• FixedOpening a Billing link while logged out, like switching to yearly from an email, now takes you back to it after you log in instead of to the home screen.
• FixedOn phones, the new video steps no longer show a second scroll bar when a notice or payment banner is at the top of the app.

Fix any clip after your video is made

• ImprovedEdit this section's script re-records only that section and keeps going if you leave the page, with a progress bar, and shows what it costs before you start.
• ImprovedUploading your own video or photo for a long-form clip retries by itself when the connection drops, shows its progress, and says what went wrong if it can't finish.
• ImprovedYour own video can be shorter than the clip it replaces: it plays a little slower or repeats, or it plays once and the next clip starts sooner.
• ImprovedA video you upload to a long-form clip is saved as soon as you place it, and replacing another clip no longer undoes it.
• ImprovedExport in the long-form editor says whether it uses credits before you start it.
• FixedRegenerate audio in the long-form editor keeps your clip changes, uploads and footage start points instead of resetting them.
• FixedBilling no longer offers to collect an old invoice for a plan that has already ended, so you can't pay for a period you no longer have.

Top-up credits carry over when your plan renews

• ImprovedCredits you top up now carry over when your plan renews or changes, your plan's own credits are used first, and Billing shows how many top-up credits you have.
• NewAfter a long-form export, the export panel offers to link your YouTube channel on YouTube licences, so the music in your videos doesn't get flagged on YouTube.
• ImprovedWhen an export doesn't finish, the editor and the export panel now say that no credits were used, so you can try again.
• ImprovedWhen Faceless Shorts can't write your script and images, the editor now says so and tells you the credits were returned, instead of showing nothing.
• FixedA Faceless Shorts generation that was interrupted no longer stays in progress, and its credits, including moving frames, come back on their own.
• FixedTrying a stopped Faceless Shorts generation again no longer takes credits for moving frames twice, and if the new try fails its credits come back.
• FixedSplit screen takes credits for new captions only once they are ready, so an attempt that fails costs nothing.
• FixedCredits for a long-form video that was deleted while it was generating now come back.
• FixedA Fake text export that fails now shows a plain message instead of a technical error.
• NewEach clip in the long-form Media tab has an Edit menu with the Replace options, Timing and trim, Edit this section's script and Delete clip.
• NewDelete clip removes a clip you don't want, and the clip next to it plays on through its time, so the narration never runs over a gap.
• NewDrag the line between two clips on the long-form timeline to change when the next clip starts. It snaps to the start of a word, and the narration, captions and graphics stay where they are.
• NewTiming and trim sets when a long-form clip starts, how long it plays and where its footage starts, so it lines up with what is being said.
• NewUndo and Redo in the long-form Media tab (or Ctrl+Z and Cmd+Z) take back clip edits, and a section you re-recorded with Edit script can be undone too.

A welcome back for returning creators

• NewIf you had a plan before, the app and the Billing page now welcome you back with your videos, what is new since you left and your earlier plan ready to pick up again.
• ImprovedEvery plan on the pricing page and in the plan picker now leads with its AI video models, so you can see at a glance that Plus and Pro add Veo 3.1, Seedance 2.5, Kling 2.5 Turbo Pro and HD images.
• ImprovedChoosing a plan on the Billing page now uses the same short list as the app, with each plan's video minutes and what it includes on one line.

• ImprovedIf you pay monthly, the app can now point you to yearly billing once you are settled in, and you can hide the note for two weeks.
• FixedThe Billing page no longer flashes loading placeholders when you switch back to its tab.

Change voice and Regenerate audio show their progress

• NewIn AI assistants that show apps, videos made with the Vid.AI MCP server appear as a player with Download, Copy link and Open in editor buttons, and a progress bar while they render.
• ImprovedChange voice in the long-form editor now shows a progress bar, the step it is on and about how long it takes, and it keeps going if you reload or leave the page.
• ImprovedRegenerate audio in the long-form editor shows the same progress bar and steps, keeps going if you reload or leave the page, and tells you if it can't finish and returns your credits.
• ImprovedThe pricing page and the plan picker now list what each plan includes, like the Premium cinematic intro, premium video models and HD images on Plus and Pro.
• ImprovedVideo options your plan doesn't include now say which plan has them, next to an Upgrade link.
• ImprovedThe home page, pricing and the app download less on every visit, so they open faster on phones and slower connections.
• ImprovedMy videos shows your videos a moment sooner when it opens.
• ImprovedVideos made with the Vid.AI MCP server now stream faster, so they start sooner and buffer less.
• ImprovedThe long-form editor preview plays lighter copies of your video clips, so it stutters less and jumps to a new spot faster. Exports still use the full-quality clips.

Find any video in My videos

• NewA new narrator, Tyler, with a smooth and clear voice, replaces Bill in every voice picker, and videos already made with Bill keep his voice.

• NewThe Shorts tab in My videos can show only Faceless Shorts, Fake text or Split screen videos, and the filter works together with search.

• ImprovedBefore a long-form video starts, the credit line shows the total for the video and what is charged now for the script and later for the video.

• FixedLong-form narrations keep the same voice from start to finish, including sections you edit later.
• FixedIn Fake text, AI-written chats that name the people now give each person their own side and voice, and a message with no side is flagged before rendering instead of being read in the other person's voice.
• FixedYour plan now has the same name in the sidebar, Billing and Usage.
• FixedThe Image option for each message in the Fake text editor is no longer cut off.

• NewLong-form videos have one Graphics setting for everything drawn over your footage: animated numbers, charts, maps, diagrams and chapter titles, with Fewer, Balanced or More.

Long-form exports match the editor preview

• NewIf a subscription payment doesn't go through, a notice in the app and on the Billing page shows how long your plan and credits stay active, and Update card takes you straight to where you can change it.
• ImprovedMotion graphics in long-form videos are better centred, stay clear of your captions and play on their own calm animated backgrounds, and quote cards show up more often when the narration has a line worth quoting.
• FixedLong-form narration now starts at full volume instead of fading in, so the first words are clear. Background music still fades in and out.
• FixedThe editors no longer stop with "Something went wrong" when the browser translates the page.

• FixedIf a login link can't be sent, the login page now says so right away, so you can try again or continue with Google instead of waiting for an email.
