Product Update: MCP Fixes, Sequential Voiceover, and Smarter Scene Editing

Here's what shipped in the last couple of days. What's New MCP video generation fixed + new API endpoints β€” MCP video generation is working again. New endpoints: GET /api/v1/brand-kits (list brand kits), POST /api/v1/pronunciation-preview (test pronunciation rules before running a video), plus confirm-before-generate settings now configurable through the API. Protagonist reference images via URL β€” Paste an image URL into the chat when generating a video with a presenter, and ngram uses that image as the character reference instead of generating one from scratch. Improvements Script modal voiceover plays end-to-end β€” Hitting play in the Script modal now sequences through all scene clips continuously. No pre-merged file needed β€” scene clips stitch together on the fly the moment voiceover generation finishes. Storyboard above the video β€” Storyboard scene cards now sit above the video output as a scrollable row. The video frame resizes dynamically to fit the available space. Duration from your prompt wins β€” Writing "2-minute video" or "keep this under 90 seconds" in your prompt now correctly overrides the duration picker. A note appears in the script review step if the output still runs short or long. Delete, move, and insert scenes by number β€” "Delete scene 3" or "move scene 5 before scene 2" now applies surgically without regenerating the rest of the storyboard. Targeted voiceover re-generation also works by scene number. Bug Fixes Editor save dialog no longer appears when you haven't made any edits. Fixed false "insufficient credits" warnings β€” stale reservations from interrupted sessions were inflating the reserved balance. A cleanup job now runs every 15 minutes.

Product Update: Eye Contact AI, App Library, and a Faster Video Flow

Since our last update, ngram shipped a brand-new tool, a faster path from prompt to finished video, and a stack of new controls. Here's what's new. New features Eye Contact AI β€” a dedicated tool that redirects an on-camera speaker's gaze so they appear to look straight into the lens. Now handles clips up to 10 minutes. App Library β€” browse and launch every ngram tool from inside the app, instead of going back to the marketing site. Brand Kit import from a URL or PDF β€” paste your website or upload a brand-guidelines PDF and ngram extracts your colors, fonts, and logo automatically. YOLO and PRO agent modes β€” run a video end-to-end, or pause after the storyboard to approve the plan before any visuals are generated. Play your voiceover in the Script modal β€” listen to the generated narration with one click while reviewing the script. Caption style picker β€” captions on/off plus 16 caption-style presets that persist across edits. Video Styles β€” pick a style template built from a real reference video that steers the script, storyboard, imagery, and music. 2-minute and Auto video lengths, rename and delete conversations, delete account, consistent characters across scenes, and editing AI images inside motion-graphics scenes. Improvements A faster flow with fewer approval stops, a full voice and avatar picker in the prompt wizard, a reworked art-direction picker, clearer credit messages with one-click download, smarter Before We Start setup, and mobile polish. Bug fixes Fixed motion-graphics export, navigating chats during a render, recovering a broken conversation, chat input lag, deleted-file persistence, audio across scene cuts, and removed the forced logo intro/outro.
