Release notes

This page covers everything in this DOTV update. Every entry comes with a demo screen — follow the "See" link to the guide section that explains it.

Top-bar generation progress: what's running, how long left

While anything is generating, a capsule appears next to Share: «2 running · ~3 min». Open it for each task's progress and remaining time, and click one to jump straight to that node — across canvases too, so you can keep working elsewhere while it renders.

Generation progressOnly appears while work is running: how many tasks are generating and how long until the batch finishes. Open it for each task's progress and remaining time — click one to jump to that node, even on another canvas.

Chat branching: fork the conversation from any turn

Each turn now ends with a Branch action: it copies the conversation up to that turn into a new chat and switches over — the original stays untouched, so a wrong turn no longer needs to be wrestled back.

BranchCopies the conversation up to the end of this turn into a new chat and switches to it — the original stays untouched. Use it to take the conversation in a different direction from this point.

Prompt translation: pick the target language

The composer Translate button is no longer English-only: open its menu and pick English / Chinese / Traditional Chinese / Japanese / Hindi; click again to bring your original back.

Estimated creditsWhat this run will cost, varying with the model and how many images. The real charge is settled when the generation finishes.

Camera-move library: official moves with previews, favorites & customs

The "Camera move" chip on the video composer opens a full library: official moves play their preview on hover, a click applies one; keep favorites, and save your own wording under "My moves".

The video composer at the bottomDescribe the shot in the body and type @ to reference an image you've already connected. Bottom left runs model, generation mode, then Aspect · Resolution · Duration and how many clips.

Audio splitting: auto by phrase & beat, or say how to cut

The audio node toolbar gains two buttons: Smart split cuts the clip into new cards by phrase and beat; Custom split takes a sentence like "keep 0-2s" or "delete 10-15s" and cuts locally — both free.

Say how to split"Keep 0-2s", "delete 10-15s", "cut at 5s" all work. The sentence is turned into "which spans to keep", then the clip is cut locally — no server round-trip, no credits.

Save to library: pick a folder, rename, tag — then save

«Save to my assets» on the canvas now opens a dialog: one row per item — choose the folder, give it a name you'll recognize, add tags, then save. No more silent bookkeeping.

Right-click on empty canvasRight-clicking empty canvas opens this one. Right-clicking a node opens a different menu (see 2.4).

Previz animation: stage tracks, generate from a sentence, export mp4

The previz desk (formerly the director desk) gains an animation timeline: lay motion tracks for characters, have the camera follow someone, or write one sentence to stage it all — Space to preview, then record frame by frame into an mp4 from the top right, saved as a file or landed on the canvas as a video node.

Animate from one sentence"She walks to the window, camera pushes in with her" — one sentence becomes a timeline: motion paths, poses and camera follow, ready to fine-tune track by track.

Skills: chat one into being, or import a .md / folder

Creating a Skill no longer means filling a form: the Agent asks a few questions right in the chat (start from scratch, from the current canvas, or update / self-test an existing one), then writes and saves it itself. A .md file or a whole folder you already have can be imported too.

The puzzle piece in the composerClick it to open this list. Typing / in the composer opens the same one — with a search box on top that matches names, slugs and descriptions.

Image presets: character sheets, scene sheets, three-views in one click

The image composer gains Presets: fifteen one-click presets that set up the wording and aspect for standard pieces like character sheets, scene sheets and three-view turnarounds — you say what you want, it writes the long part.

The preset panelFour groups in two columns: Narrative, Texture, Space & camera, Reference sheets. The one you pick highlights; click it again to clear it.

A matrix of top generation models: Kling / Veo / Vidu / Wan / Seedream / Recraft

Image and video nodes get a full spread of models at once: photo-grade FLUX.2 Pro, design-oriented Recraft, audio-synced Veo, the arena-topping Happy Horse — pricing is aligned per vendor, so the composer's estimate is truer than ever.

Pick the model hereEach kind of node has its own list of models, and this is where you switch. Change the model and the resolution and duration options on the right change with it — vendors support different ones.

The video model lineup rounds out: Kling O3, Wan 3.0, Happy Horse

The video node model list becomes a full wall: Kling O3 (the only family that takes video in, video out), Wan 3.0 and Happy Horse are here — and every parameter is aligned with upstream, so the options you pick are no longer silently dropped.

CLI: dotv model looks up models and params

No more guessing before a batch script: dotv model lists every available model (filter by node type or keyword), and dotv model --key <model> spells out each parameter's type, allowed values and default.

New interface languages: Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Hindi

The Language submenu now offers five: Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, English, Japanese and Hindi — interface, docs, legal pages and the desktop app all switch together.

What sits under the avatar at the top rightThe top is a stack of cards, each opening its own page in a new tab: the first one goes to Account, then your plan, your credit balance and Storage. The rows below are the menu proper — Appearance first (Light / Dark / System), Sign out last.

Copilot is now Agent

The assistant on the canvas that does what you say is now uniformly called Agent — buttons, panels and docs all say the same name; the work it does is unchanged.
