Every reel gets its poster, every clip its name
A production nobody gave a poster no longer waits for one. While the Director reads the script, the studio draws the key art — and a poster now carries the film's title the way a release one-sheet does, not the working name the project list knows it by. The production files every generated clip on its shared drive under one name — production, scene, shot, take — and the crew was renaming each download by hand to fit it. Clips now leave the studio already called that, one at a time or a whole scene at once. And a render that runs long, or is turned away without a reason, no longer ends as a failed take the crew sends again. When a render does fail, the studio now says so wherever you are, whose problem it is, and what to do about it. And a production can now carry its own provider keys, so a client's film is billed to the client's account whoever on the crew renders it. On a phone, a reel now opens its crew chat and its sharing. And a big production no longer drags: typing, switching shots and opening windows keep pace on a reel of a thousand shots.
NewPosterThe script analysis draws the poster when the reel has none. It starts as soon as the screenplay is understood — logline, synopsis, genre, tone — runs alongside the rest of the breakdown, and never replaces a poster you uploaded or generated, even one that lands while it renders.
NewPosterPosters letter the film's title. The title is taken from the project name with the drafts, versions, dates and client tags struck out — "BURN NIGHT_v.04_Sep 8 (client)" goes onto the poster as BURN NIGHT — and from the screenplay's file name when the project is still called Untitled Reel. The Poster window shows which title was lettered, and the title wording is editable on the prompts page like every other prompt.
ImprovedProjectsA reel card no longer prints the project name across a poster that already has its title on it; the name is a hover away. Uploaded posters and cards without one keep the name as before.
ImprovedPosterOpen the Poster window while the analysis is drawing one, and it shows that render's progress and the result when it lands, instead of offering a second render on top.
NewShotsEvery clip downloads under the name the production's drive files it by: LUR_SC008_SH040-060_TK03.mp4 — the production, the scene, the shots the clip covers counted in tens, and which take it is. A clip of a single shot is simply SH020. The take strip shows the shots and the take under each clip, and the download beside the one on screen saves it under its full name.
NewShotsScene · all clips downloads every finished clip of the scene in one ZIP, each under its drive name — open the scene's folder on the drive and drop them in.
ImprovedShotsA take's number is settled the moment its clip arrives and never changes: a failed render takes no number, and a clip keeps its name after the timeline re-packs its sequences around an added or re-timed shot.
ImprovedGalleryExporting shot takes from the gallery names them the same way, and so does the download on a take's public link.
NewProjectsSet the file prefix in Edit reel. Left empty, it is the first letters of the title — LURIA 0408 is LUR.
FixedShotsA clip still rendering after 45 minutes is no longer marked failed. The take waits in the strip and lands when the render finishes — the Shot window picks it back up on its own, and the morning sweep collects the rest — so there is no reason to send the shot again.
ImprovedShotsWhen Seedance turns a clip away without saying what is wrong, the studio sends it once more by itself half a minute later, and says so under the progress bar, instead of reporting "Invalid inputs".
FixedShotsReference stills and clips stay readable for as long as the render queue takes — a long Seedance queue no longer ends in "Failed to download the file".
FixedShotsA storyboard or hero frame on Nano Banana 2 no longer fails its first try over thinking_level: the settings under the model picker send only what the model understands. A clip's length reaches the video model exactly as picked, so Luma Ray renders the 10 seconds you chose instead of its default 5.
ImprovedGenerateA refused render says what happened in plain words — the model's content filter, an empty answer from the model, or a reference file it couldn't read — instead of "Invalid inputs" for all of them, and keeps the model's whole explanation.
NewPhoneTalk to the crew from your phone. Tap a reel and the whole crew, each department one to one, and your rooms are there — the same conversations as in the studio, so a question asked on the way home is waiting in the editor in the morning. Pick the model, address one person in a room with @, open a new room; while an answer is coming the screen stays awake.
NewPhoneShare a reel from your phone. Invite someone by the email they signed up with, choosing view or edit access and their crew role in one go; tap a person to change either, or to take their access away.
ImprovedPhoneThe phone says what it is. The first time you open Stanislavsky on a phone, a screen explains what works there and what needs a computer; a line under the bar of every phone screen repeats it, and Send link puts the studio's link on your computer through the share sheet.
ImprovedEditorOpening a reel's editor on a phone no longer stops at “open on a computer” — the notice now leads straight to that reel's crew chat and sharing.
NewStudioA failed render no longer hides in the window that asked for it. Wherever a generation fails — a shot's frame or clip, the storyboard, Casting, Makeup, locations, props, the poster, Generate, an upscale, a retouch or the script analysis — a card comes up in the corner of whatever page you are on, and the failures button under the cards lists every one still open.
NewStudioEach failure card says whose problem it is — the model's provider, your account, the content filter, the shot's setup or the studio — what happened in plain words, what that reading rests on (how the model was doing for the whole studio at that moment, when the shot last rendered), and offers the move that fixes it: open the shot, switch Seedance 2.5 to 2.0, top up, update the key. Repeats fold into one card, and a render of the same thing that comes out closes it.
NewChatAsk the Producer about a failure. The card hands it to the Producer in Project chat with everything behind it — the prompt, the references as pictures, the provider's own words — and the Producer works out why it was turned away, rewrites the prompt, and can open the Shot generator with the new one.
NewShotsA render is checked before it goes out. A Seedance clip, a final frame or a Generate run first has its references read against the model — an @Image with no file behind it, more references than the model takes, a picture or clip outside the sizes and lengths it accepts, a damaged file, two faces where fal refuses them — and waits on a card: go back and fix it, or render anyway.
NewProjectsA production can pay for itself. Give it its own Anthropic, fal.ai, Magnific or Pexels key — in Edit reel, or in the editor's Generation settings — and everything made in it runs on that account: renders, the crew's answers, the script breakdown, reference searches, whoever presses the button. A provider left empty keeps running on each member's own key from their profile.
ImprovedStudioA production's key is checked with the provider before it is saved, shown only by its last four characters with who set it, and can be changed only by someone who may edit the production. Generation settings says whose key the next render runs on — the production's or yours.
NewModelsGPT Image 2.5 is on every image picker — Casting, Makeup, locations and props, the storyboard, the poster, both shot frames and Generate — as Sunburst for the finest detail and Flare for speed, with quality up to max, up to ten images a run, and references or a painted mask on its edit model. Productions on Magnific get GPT Image 2, with references.
NewSettingsAdmins choose which models each account may run. Settings → Model access lists every account and switches Generate models on or off for it — by media type or one by one — and decides whether models added later arrive on or hidden. Generate, Retouch and Upscale list only what the account may run, and say so when nothing is left.
ImprovedProjectsOpen the Generate studio straight from a reel card, or from Generator in the sidebar, which asks which production to open so every take lands in its gallery.
ImprovedEditorA big production's editor keeps up. An open editor no longer redraws itself every second while nothing is happening, the timeline is the first thing to arrive when you open a reel, and closing a department window you only looked at no longer reloads the reel behind it.
ImprovedGenerateTyping a prompt in Generate no longer waits on the library — on a production with thousands of takes each letter used to cost a fifth of a second. The library opens without holding up everyone else in the studio, and its cards load as light previews instead of full-size renders.
ImprovedShotsSwitching shots in the Shot generator no longer reloads the whole reference library; it loads when you open it, and shows new takes as they land.
ImprovedMakeupPicking a scene in Makeup or a character in Casting answers straight away instead of re-reading the whole cast each time.
ImprovedGalleryClips in the gallery, the take strip and the chat load when you scroll to them, and a still or clip you have already opened comes back from your browser instead of downloading again.
ImprovedProjectsReel posters load as light previews and stay put until the poster changes, so the reels list opens without fetching every poster in full.
NewStudioWhen Stanislavsky is updated while your tab is open, a note in the corner says so and offers Reload — instead of buttons that quietly stop working. It never reloads by itself, so nothing you are typing is lost.
FixedEditorThe History tab no longer keeps refreshing forever on a production with an old run that never recorded its end, and the render panel keeps following a render through a dropped connection instead of giving up at the first missed update.
ImprovedGenerateThe Generate library opens on its latest takes and draws more as you scroll, in two columns that stay put: a finished take lands at the top of a column, where its placeholder stood, and nothing already on screen moves. History works the same way, and starts from the top whenever you open it or change its filter.
FixedGalleryA department with more than 4,000 takes no longer quietly loses its oldest ones from the gallery window, the Shot generator's pickers and the moodboard.
