Since issue 012, the App Library has gained over a dozen new standalone tools — the most added in a single issue. Each runs without a video project: upload a file, pick a tool, get the output. There's also opt-in auto top-up for credits, a new Reference Video path for hybrid animation projects, category filters for style templates, and fixes for motion graphics preview jitter and the "No content to preview" editor deadlock.
App Library: Over a Dozen New Standalone Tools
Go to the App Library (/app/tools) and you'll find four new groups of tools. None require a video project — just upload a file and run the tool.
Media and conversion: Video to GIF, format convert, compress, extract audio from video, remove background from images, remove background from video clips, voice dubber (replace the speaker's voice via AI speech-to-speech), and noise removal for audio and video.
Transcription and translation: Audio-to-text, video-to-text (SRT, VTT, or plain text), subtitles, captions, and a translator.
Content generation: YouTube title generator and YouTube description generator.
The App Library now has a search bar to filter tools by name. Text-output results save as projects in your feed.
Reference Video (Hybrid Projects)
In hybrid animation projects, scenes now default to a Reference Video path. The agent selects reference images from your uploads, face library, mascot, and brand assets, then generates a video clip with those images as visual anchors for more consistent results.
Auto Top-Up Credits
Paid subscribers can enable auto top-up in Settings → Billing or Settings → Preferences. When credits drop below the threshold, ngram charges the card on file for one credit pack off-session so agentic generations don't stop mid-run.
Style Template Category Filters
The style template browser now has category filters above the grid to narrow the list by content type.
Bug Fixes
- Motion graphics preview jitter — Remotion player no longer re-renders on every frame. Playback is now smooth.
- "No content to preview" after long turns — Reloading now correctly detects turn completion and shows the result.
- "Your Brand" video style rejected — Now accepted as an alias for the auto-style option.
