Assistant — a new model lineup
- Nine current models in three tiers: Fast (GPT-6 Luna, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, Claude Haiku 4.5), Balanced (GPT-6 Sol, Gemini 3.8 Flash, Claude Sonnet 5) and Premium (GPT-6 Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, Gemini 3.1 Pro). The model menu groups them by tier.
- Older models have left the menu; chats that used one now continue on its current successor.
- New users start on a Balanced model.

Marketing Studio — now available to everyone
- Marketing Studio is open to all users: describe your ad, add a product photo, pick an ad format (and a presenter, if you like), and launch a video ad or product shot from one prompt bar. The credit cost shows before you launch. See Marketing Studio.
Billing
- One Credit Top-up in both currencies: 20,000 credits for $20 by card or 5,600 ETB through Chapa. Top-up credits never expire.
- Top up at any balance: you no longer need to use up your add-on credits before buying more. New top-up credits are added to whatever you have left.
August 25, 2026
Billing
- 14-day grace period for Chapa renewals: if a Chapa renewal isn't paid by your renewal date, you have 14 days to pay the renewal link and reactivate your plan. After that the subscription is cancelled, and you can subscribe again from the Pricing page.

AI Studio — a new AI director
- Start with a conversation: AI Studio now opens on one question, "What film are we making today?" Describe your idea, attach a screenplay or reference images, and the agent opens your project and starts building.
- Manual and Auto: direct the agent one step at a time, or switch to Auto and give it a credit budget to plan and build the whole film on its own, with a live meter of what it has spent.
- Writes, casts and designs: the agent writes and edits scenes, designs shot lists with a length for every shot, and builds your cast with portraits, turnaround sheets and costume boards, plus locations and props.
- Renders for you: images for each shot using your cast and location references, then video from those images, with clips up to 30 seconds on Seedance 2.5.
- See the plan: bigger jobs show a task list that ticks off as the agent works; every action appears in the chat with its result.
- Keeps going without you: close the tab and the run continues; come back and the chat picks up where it is.
- More ways in: attach PDF, DOCX, TXT or Fountain scripts up to 2 MB and up to 10 images per message.
- The AI model and Agent/Chat pickers are gone: the agent chooses how to act from your message.
Community — now available to everyone
- Share your work publicly: publish images, videos, music and Auteur work from the tools to the Community gallery, and browse what others are making. See Community.

New AI models
- Seedance 2.5 in the Video Generator — clips from 4 to 30 seconds at 480p or 720p, with optional audio. Leave the duration on Auto to let the model pick the length; you're charged for the length actually produced.
August 7, 2026
Billing
- Chapa plans renew on a fixed day: ETB subscriptions now renew on the same day each month as the day you subscribed (month-end dates adjust in shorter months). Paying your renewal link early keeps your renewal day.
August 3, 2026
Auteur — our new AI filmmaking studio (private beta)
- Auteur is here, in invite-only early access: turn a screenplay, treatment, or one-line idea into a full production — character bibles, identity plates, costumes, locations, storyboards, shot lists, and finished video clips — on one infinite canvas with a built-in production assistant. Unlock with an invite code from the dashboard, or join the waitlist.
- Draft Mode: build a cheap draft of your entire film hands-off. Segments render in parallel at the lowest-cost tiers, and everything lands marked DRAFT for you to review and re-render selectively.
- New Angle: re-shoot any finished clip from a different camera angle — the performance, timing, dialogue, and lip-sync stay frozen; only the lens moves. Target a single shot from your shot list to pay only for those seconds.
- Assembly: cut your film without re-rendering anything — reorder segments, trim in/out points, choose clip audio vs. stems, add crossfades, and set the score level. The cut plays live in the film player and carries into export.
- Export to Editor: ship an editorial package as one zip — every take, audio stems, storyboards, reference plates with their exact prompts, docs, and a ready-to-import EDL/FCPXML timeline for your NLE.
- Score: an optional continuous music bed composed to land its musical phrases exactly on your segment boundaries, played under the whole cut and ducked beneath dialogue.
- Seamless film player: gapless segment-to-segment playback, proper fullscreen, scene audio overlaid in sync, and the score running under the entire film.
- Collaboration: members draft and generate while directors approve and finalize; share projects with outside reviewers who can watch and comment; a review queue collects everything awaiting sign-off, plus per-card comment threads and a project activity feed.
- Inpaint and Generate editing: draw directly on any image (or drop stick figures to pose characters) and describe the fix, or re-render a card's subject from a prompt plus up to 3 of your own reference images. Every edit is saved as a switchable version.
- Your references are in charge: upload a reference image and ask for it to be used — including replacing a character's identity — and the model follows your instruction.
- Costume looks: characters with multiple outfits get one wardrobe board per look, automatically matched to the segments where each is worn.
- Project aspect ratios: choose 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4, or 21:9 at setup — every plate and clip renders in your chosen frame.
- Image resolution tiers: pick 1K, 2K, or 4K output per project. Identity plates now default to the highest-quality model at 4K, since they anchor every downstream render (this raises their per-image cost).
- Consistent character voices: each character's voice — timbre, pace, accent, delivery — is defined once in their Character Bible and carried into every clip.
- Storyboards follow your shot list exactly: one panel per shot, in order, at the shot's framing — no invented coverage, and characters who are only heard are never drawn.
- Budget control: a per-project spend ledger with CSV export, and an optional credit budget cap that warns on manual runs and hard-pauses automated ones.
- More creative control: a target-runtime field, a "resegment" chat command, an exact-prompt editor on every generated image, mid-project Add Card for missing props/characters/locations, upload-your-own media on any card, and routing uploaded assets onto any card that can hold them.
- Plus a unified run-mode selector (Manual / Draft / Automate / Agent), a draggable floating chat panel, content mode for short-form pieces, continuous takes across segments, and a quality-tier picker for clips.

Image & video tools
- Redesigned generation pages: a floating prompt bar with your most-used controls inline, results in a chat-style feed, and older history loading as you scroll.
- @-mentions in prompts: type
@to reference attached images, videos, audio, and elements. - Easier references: paste images from the clipboard, upload multiple files at once, and drag any generated image in as a reference.
- Polish prompt: one free click rewrites your prompt into a more cinematic version for review before generating.
- Generation queue: a unified panel shows all in-flight generations with progress, and concurrent slots now scale with your plan (up to 5 on Enterprise).
- Fair "auto" duration billing: videos with automatic duration are billed for the length actually produced — the excess hold is refunded on completion.
- Clearer feedback: smooth progress, plain-language errors, and stalled generations now fail cleanly with automatic refunds.
Moodboard
- Video on the canvas: generate clips directly on the board, right-click any image to "Animate this," and play results inline.
- Story cards and connectors: six card types (scene, dialogue, character, shot, note, direction) with markdown, plus arrows to map your story's flow.
- Groups: gather items into named, draggable, recolorable frames.
- A canvas-aware AI agent: a chat assistant that sees your board and can add cards, connect nodes, generate images — and build out a treatment, characters, storyboard frames, and animated clips from a single idea, with your approval before anything paid runs.
- Export: canvas PNG, a storyboard PDF ordered by your connectors, and project JSON backup.
Collaboration & workspaces
- Private by default: image, video, and moodboard sessions are visible only to you unless you share them.
- Live workspace switching: changing workspace updates every tool instantly.
- Spendable credits at a glance: the header shows what you can actually spend in the current workspace, including any member limit.
- Reliable member limits: workspace credit limits now account for in-flight generations.
