Updates since May 2026

by

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.
