ElevenLabs voices can be easily accessed by selecting "Japanese" under "Language" and "None" under "Voice" on the "Audio Settings" screen. ElevenLabs is available only with the Enterprise or Agency plans.

Add Everyday Scenes and Characters in Storybook Style

New materials have been added to the Storybook style. This update includes 11 types of characters, 108 props, 8 backgrounds, 6 scenes, and 36 character creation parts. It has become easier to depict familiar scenes such as conversations at home and everyday events, allowing you to create more relatable videos.

Materials Added to Storybook Style

Automatically Adjust Scenes to Match Audio Length

Previously, scenes could be automatically adjusted to match the length of the video, but with this update, scenes can now be automatically adjusted to match the length of the audio. Even if the audio length changes due to script modifications, translations, or bulk audio replacements, you can easily align the scene lengths accordingly.

Add Display Labels to AI-Generated Content

By enabling the AI label on the "Video Settings" screen, you can display an "AI" label at the bottom left of the preview, thumbnail, and downloaded video. This clearly indicates to viewers that the content is AI-generated, and you can apply it to videos as needed according to internal rules and publication requirements.
