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 — 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 — 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 — Hitting play in the Script modal now sequences through all scene clips continuously. No pre-merged file needed — scene clips stitch together on the fly the moment voiceover generation finishes.
• Storyboard above the video — 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 — 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 — "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 — stale reservations from interrupted sessions were inflating the reserved balance. A cleanup job now runs every 15 minutes.
