Updates since May 2026
Here's the cleaned version:
Automation & integrations
MCP server (June), the flagship release. Connect Blog2Video to any AI agent and drive the full pipeline (scenes, voiceover, render) from a single prompt. Documented integrations for Claude, OpenAI/ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Mistral, n8n, and Make (8 dedicated integration posts, June 4).
Voice & narration
ElevenLabs voice control (June): expose emotion, delivery speed, and tonal exaggeration as direct controls per voiceover.
Add/delete voiceover per scene (June): attach or remove narration from any single scene without re-rendering the whole video.
Editor
Redesigned scene editor (June): cleaner layout, reorganized controls, faster interaction model.
Script regeneration (June): give a scene a new tone/angle/framing and it rewrites that scene's script instantly.
Per-orientation image adjustment (May): reposition/re-crop images independently for landscape vs. portrait so subjects stay framed.
Collaboration (the "on a roll" June release)
Team collaboration: invite co-editors with roles (Owner/Editor/Pending), scene-level threaded comments, and live co-editing with real-time cursors and "X editing" presence chips.
Edit history/Activity drawer: full audit trail, field-level diffs, AI edits flagged separately from human edits, and one-click revert of any changeset (yours or a teammate's).
New templates
Bloomberg Terminal (May): amber-on-dark trading terminal aesthetic for finance.
Chronicle (May): cream/serif "printed volume" look with drop caps for long-form narrative.
Sakura (June): Japanese-inspired system, ink-brush kanji titles, drifting petals, fractal cherry tree, washi textures, hanko seal.
Finance Publication (June 14): sober, authoritative template built for the ~70% of paid users who are finance publishers.
New input sources
Meeting recordings to video (May 7): Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Fireflies, and Loom transcripts/summaries.
AI chat to video (May 22): turn a Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini conversation share link into a video.
Export & sharing
Four export formats (May): MP4, PNG slides (great for LinkedIn carousels), PDF deck, and PowerPoint.
URL + iframe embeds (May): every output ships with a shareable link and paste-ready iframe (no third-party host).
New free tools
Free stock data visualizer (June 30): live price history (7/30/60 day) plus income statement/balance sheet for any ticker via yfinance, styled in Newscast, Bloomberg, or Newspaper themes, free with an account.
Growth/pricing/ecosystem
Referral program (May): both parties get 5 free videos per signup.
Bulk pricing (May): $4/video (1 to 9), $3 (10 to 29), $2.80 (30+).
BlogHub launch (May 23): companion "Product Hunt for blogs" with free backlinks, AEO-optimized profile pages, and community rankings.
Custom branded template service: formalized/documented in May (designer-built templates from a brand's fonts, colors, and layout logic).
Growth signal along the way: the June posts cite the jump from ~800 daily creators/1,000 videos to 3,500+ creators, 6,000+ videos, 439K scenes, their fastest-growing stretch.
