Product Update: Lip-Synced Video Translation, Screencast + Avatar for Everyone, and Background Remover Backdrops

This release adds lip-sync to the Video Translator tool (plus a new Brazilian Portuguese language option), opens Avatar mode and Screencast + Avatar mode to everyone (previously limited to the ngram team), and adds a preset backdrop picker to the Background Remover tool. There's also independent mute toggles for background music and voiceover, a faster start to new conversations, and fixes for nine bugs across chat, editor, and playback. What's New - Lip-Synced Video Translation: sync the speaker's lips to translated audio, with a toggle. Brazilian Portuguese added as a target language. - Avatar mode and Screencast + Avatar mode, open to everyone. - Background Remover Backdrops: preset scenes (Home Studio, Tech Studio, Collaborative Office, Executive Boardroom, Creator Studio) in addition to custom uploads. - Change voiceover language after generation — auto re-translates and re-voices. - Independent music and voiceover mute toggles in a new Edit video dropdown. Improvements - Redesigned "Fetching assets" step: pick assets from links or brand kits (including team brand kits), continue as soon as the first check finishes. - Faster start on new conversations. Bug Fixes - Video generation could appear stuck on "paused" after hand-off. - Chat's loading indicator could get stuck after Undo. - Uploaded video preview didn't match the exported crop. - Auto style could lock onto a removed preset (a few outdated styles removed). - "Make changes" pins could linger on the video after sending. - Storyboard and clone chat glitches. - Background Remover mishandled non-person footage. - n8n setup card led nowhere. - Internal MCP sign-in keys cluttered the API keys list.
