What's new in SceneWeaver. Newest first.
v1.10.0
- NewEvery Learn lesson is now available in both vertical (1080x1920) and landscape (1920x1080) cuts, with links to the landscape version under each player in the manual and Learn pages.
v1.9.0
- NewEach character now has a casting profile you can search by (age, build, hair, eyes, voice, accent, and more), so you can find and organize your cast by concrete traits.
- NewYou can now upload your own stills and clips for social, preview them, and schedule posts from the calendar; video uploads are validated to ensure they contain a decodable stream, and images get web-ready renditions automatically.
- ImprovedWhen posting to platforms, the studio now automatically picks the right file version (clip if it fits the platform’s limits, otherwise the original or a resized image) across the batch generator, composer, and calendar.
- ImprovedSocial cards now keep the character’s face in frame by cropping to a band a third down the poster for all taller-than-source formats, so X and Bluesky previews no longer cut through the torso.
- ImprovedAll existing social cards are being re-minted to the new layout, so your shares match the updated framing.
- ImprovedThe social planner respects each platform’s hashtag limits and will keep only the first few if you add too many, preventing posts from being dropped.
- ImprovedAuto-generated social copy now names the film or template shown, describes only what’s in the image, and avoids step-by-step lists or first‑person tone.
- NewBrand cards now link back to their source template in the share, so viewers can find what the card is based on.
- FixedShare cards for X and Bluesky now show your full poster on the right (no more cropped-off faces), with a blurred, darkened backdrop behind the text; portrait and square cards stay the same.
- NewA new Learn series of 25 bite-size vertical lessons now walks you through the whole studio, from what SceneWeaver is to troubleshooting, with varied styles so it doesn’t feel templated.
- FixedThe Cast figure in the manual now shows the Cast step instead of duplicating the Stepper figure.
- NewEvery micro-tutorial in Learn now includes narrated voice-over with matching captions, so you can watch lessons with audio and subtitles.
- NewThe Learn manual shows each chapter’s lessons as a row of vertical video players with posters and captions, limited to your own series.
- FixedLessons that cover an entire chapter now appear under that chapter in Learn, instead of being missing from the manual.
v1.8.0
- NewYou can now generate a social brand kit of banners, avatars and page copy for five platforms from a single preset so you have ready-made assets sized and cropped for each profile.
- ImprovedThe social kit includes updated platform handles and measured copy for Instagram, X, YouTube, TikTok and Bluesky so you can paste exact names and lengths that fit each profile.
- New[new] You can now connect and post to Threads and Bluesky from the house social profile alongside the other platforms, and those accounts will receive posts instead of appearing as unpostable.
- Improved[improved] Caption length handling for platform autoposts has been standardized so each platform (including Threads and Bluesky) uses the correct caption budget when posting.
- NewA Social Kit is available in the app that lists ready-to-post assets per platform, shows the exact file and copy to upload, and can draft a post for you from a postable card into a queue.
- NewBatch social post generation can draft multiple posts per platform in the kit’s voice using selected media pools so you can create several platform-specific posts at once.
- NewYou can now mint branded film-card images (4:5, 1:1, 9:16) for a house film poster the first time you use them, so you have ready-made card art for image platforms.
- NewYou can approve or reject an entire batch of posts at once, and edit captions inline before approving.
- ImprovedThe caption planner now suggests a content pillar for rhythm slots and shows the best-performing recent posts to help you pick a direction.
- NewAlt text is supported end-to-end: you can draft alt text, it’s included in provider payloads, and appears in the composer for posts.
- ImprovedThe planner generates captions in parallel (up to eight at a time) to speed up suggestions, and scheduling respects the account’s review gate when you choose “schedule directly.”
- FixedCalendar slot times now handle DST gaps safely and the agenda loads more reliably on first open with a wider tolerance window.
- NewYou can now see which exact creative (card image or clip) is assigned per platform when scheduling posts, with a planner view that lists what will go out over the next 7/14/30 days and lets you approve or reject one, a day, a selection, or everything pending.
- ImprovedThe batch generator, kit composer, and your autopost all choose the same platform-specific media (9:16 master, 720p feed clip, or platform card) so what you schedule is consistent across tools.
- ImprovedWe added platform-specific card rules so feeds that need landscape or stepped JPEGs (for example X and Bluesky) will use the right image format and size limits when creating post cards.
- NewAI tasks now default to GPT‑5, with Claude as an automatic backup if a call fails, and results clearly show which model answered.
- ImprovedCheaper AI tasks like cast matching and narrator now run on GPT‑5 mini for faster, lower‑cost results.
- ImprovedWorkspace settings now reflect GPT‑5 as the default model so you can see which provider your studio uses by default.
v1.7.0
- ImprovedCharacter portraits and cast sheets are now built automatically when characters are imported or created from a script, and any missing sheets that were backfilled by the house are now shown wherever that character is loaded.
- FixedThe cast sheet lightbox now opens as a true overlay (rendered onto the page body) so it sits above the editor and script instead of appearing as a narrow strip beside the script.
v1.6.0
- ImprovedFeed pages and /api/templates now send compressed JSON when the browser supports it, reducing download size for large lists like templates and the feed.
- NewEvery public episode now gets an automatic 720p feed rendition so the /watch feed loads a smaller, phone-ready file instead of streaming the full master.
- ImprovedThe Watch feed now server-renders the first page of cards so the first card paints with the page and reduces layout shift on load.
- ImprovedThe Templates gallery now server-renders the grid from compact summaries (and the API returns summaries by default), so the template tiles appear faster and with less data transferred.
- ImprovedSite code that only belongs inside the app (auth, subscription, notifications) no longer ships to public marketing pages, and a few expensive per-frame visuals and font preloads were reduced to speed up public pages.
- FixedA deploy bug that caused runtime failures by incorrectly excluding important packages from builds was fixed so API routes stop returning 500s.
- FixedContainer startup and readiness checks were corrected so new revisions are properly started, probed, and gated before they receive traffic.
v1.5.0
- NewA real SceneWeaver favicon and app icons now appear across browsers and installs instead of the placeholder — including modern favicons, a small ICO, an iOS apple-icon, and Android/desktop install icons so installs get the correct splash background.
- ImprovedThe home page now paints much faster — visual effects were simplified so the hero appears in about half a second while keeping the same look.
- NewThe public changelog page now drafts itself automatically from the commits included in each deploy, so the changelog reflects what was actually pushed and deployed rather than being hand-edited.
v1.4.1
- FixedMedia you upload in the editor now reaches the renderer, and a render we can prove would come back black is refused before it charges you — previously the clip rendered black and you paid full price for it.
- FixedRecasting a character now replaces every asset that carried the old face — the turnaround sheet and the per-style variants — so shots stop rendering the character you replaced.
- FixedAI Captions no longer reports success while generating nothing: the button says it isn't available yet and points you at importing an .srt instead.
- FixedUpdating a live film keeps its subtitles when the new render is the editor's cut, and tells you when they had to be cleared instead of silently stripping them.
- ImprovedThe Terms and Privacy Policy now describe the 18+ mature tier: what the age check stores, the one thing it is used for, and what stays prohibited.
v1.4.0
- NewThe editor says what a click costs before it charges — re-shooting a clip, generating a voiceover, auto-narrating a whole film (per line and worst case), and the 25-credit render toggle all price themselves up front.
- NewCamera motion is a per-clip control: pick push in, pull back, or a pan on any image clip instead of getting whatever its position in the scene implied.
- NewCheckout collects sales tax where it's required, and a refund now takes back the credits that purchase granted — proportional to the amount refunded, never below zero.
- NewBlank worlds are reachable from Claude and other MCP clients — create_project with world_only forks a template's world without its story.
- ImprovedAuto-narration plans first: you read and edit every narration line before a single credit is spent, instead of paying twice to fix a take.
- ImprovedTemplate and library thumbnails load faster — the image optimizer had been re-encoding already-optimized files into bigger ones.
- FixedRenders run the current app again — the render bundle was twelve weeks stale, which is why caption and letterbox fixes that shipped weeks ago never reached your finished mp4 — and a completed render now survives a page reload instead of vanishing from your render history.
- FixedTwo surfaces stopped overstating themselves: your analytics page counts real generation failures rather than reporting a 100% success rate by construction, and Threads and Bluesky are marked connect-only instead of posing as autopost targets that quietly do nothing.
v1.3.0
- NewThe timeline editor now lives inside SceneWeaver — docked in the app shell, with a real grabbable playhead, drag-to-scrub, and auto-follow during playback.
- NewEditor media library panel plus adjustable track heights, add-track, and the ability to regenerate any AI clip straight from the timeline.
- NewThe API-keys page now walks you through actually connecting — a step-by-step setup guide for Claude and other MCP clients.
- ImprovedEvery template opens fully cast: all 29 map every speaking cue to a castable actor, with a visual look preselected.
- ImprovedTemplate cost estimates are stills-first and honest — the number you see is what a produce run actually spends.
- FixedRe-shot clips now reach your saved cut — the editor reconciles the timeline with fresh shots instead of letting an old autosave shadow them.
- FixedThe editor's render button quoted 25 credits while the server charged 60 — the quote now matches the charge.
- FixedThe admin roles page reports real user counts per role instead of placeholders.
v1.2.0
- NewSeedance 2.5 is the default video engine — noticeably better motion at 47% lower cost per clip.
- NewContinuity chains: consecutive shots in a scene now film as one chained take, so characters, wardrobe, and sets persist from clip to clip.
- NewFilm transcription and a story-aware auto-narrator — SceneWeaver listens to your finished film and writes narration that lands in the dialogue gaps.
- NewSign in with an email magic link — no password, no Google account required.
- ImprovedEvery environment now ships identity plates — reverse, approach, and detail angles — so locations stay recognizable across shots the way characters do.
- ImprovedThe full cast catalogue carries cinematic portraits plus multi-view character sheets, keeping every actor's face and wardrobe consistent across media.
- ImprovedThe status page now authenticates against the real services instead of reporting green through an outage.
- FixedVertical means vertical — 9:16 clips that quietly came back widescreen are gone; the format is enforced and verified on every generated clip.
v1.1.0
- NewCreator profiles and a follow graph — follow the creators you like and find their shows in one place.
- NewChannel HQ: your Published tab groups episodes by show, with episode detail views and video export.
- NewShare kit v1 — packaged downloads with SRT subtitles and one-click YouTube publishing through your connected account.
- NewCasting partner API (phase 1): licensed agencies can list actors and characters into the library with usage rights attached, for Studio and Enterprise workspaces.
- NewSceneWeaver on the phone: Sign in with Apple, a full-screen swipe-to-watch feed, and complete show creation from mobile.
- ImprovedCreator and Studio plans re-tuned to 3,000 and 12,000 credits per month.
- ImprovedA new episode going live now notifies followers in-app, with a deep link straight to the player.
- FixedLibrary lookups are ownership-aware — closed a leak where another user's reference could resolve by slug.
v1.0.0
- NewSceneWeaver Originals — a curated shelf of house-produced shows with show pages, a serialized player, trailers, and My List.
- NewThe MCP server: connect Claude or any MCP client with a personal API key and drive your studio from chat — 23 tools to write, cast, design, animate, and publish.
- NewMotion: animate storyboard stills into real video clips — per shot or in one "Animate all" pass, with plan-based quality tiers and clips rendered at their true length.
- NewSeries bible and next-episode generation with real continuity — recaps, callbacks, and no accidentally re-cast characters.
- NewPayments are live: Creator and Studio subscriptions with monthly credit grants, annual billing, and automatic Stripe reconciliation.
- ImprovedEpisodes publish with closed captions — script-driven subtitles on every video publish, with CC in the watch player.
- ImprovedFirst visits got roughly 10x lighter — the homepage dropped from ~2.4MB to ~250KB and library grids stopped shipping multi-megabyte originals.
- FixedThe publish cut now includes every clip at its real runtime, captions are timed to the actual timeline, and generated clips publish as video, not stills.
