December Update - Transcripts, Timelines, and Templates
Featuring an enhanced page for shared stories, timeline-based editing, and layout presets to get started fast.
Enhanced share page
Shared stories have some extra details available in the new layout:
Transcripts. Navigate to specific timestamps in the story by clicking on the transcript line. Automatically generated closed captions in the video player.
Table of contents and extended descriptions. This includes better publishing previews and with larger editor for story description.
Next up: Control over which chapters appear in the table of contents. Also flexibility additional resource links — similar to the existing CTA feature, but for support docs, blogs, or other related resources.
Timeline-based editing
The timeline editor shows both narrator and content tracks, so you can trim recordings or split a single card into smaller clips. Find it via "Show Timeline" toggle or the Trim option with a content or narrator layer selected.
Simplified layout presets
Simplified presets, with common layouts for arranging narration and content layers. Includes a new side-by-side layout for an unobstructed view of the presenter and presentation.
Improved
Contextual editing controls when clicking on narrator and content layers. Builds on the control bar feature introduced last month, so you don’t have to search through a sidebar for basic changes.
Simplified recording flow. Recording is now part of the editor instead of a separate workflow. It should feel more consistent, and a more honest preview of your recording.
We'll now send a notification when your story is viewed for the first time, so you can celebrate accordingly.
New authentication provider for faster login, extra security options for logging in, including passkey support.
Added new backgrounds, including scenic views and options which resemble desktop backgrounds.
Webcam video is now mirrored by default. You can change this from the menu after clicking on the narration bubble.
