Every video style now opens a film its own way, four openings are drawn in 3D, and teams manage their own roles.
New
Films in a video style open their own way: kinetic typography lands the title on the beat, the explaining style counts up the episode number, hand-drawn writes it out, and product demo, cartoon, cinematic, isometric, collage and documentary each have an opening of their own.
Four openings drawn in 3D: a flowing field in the brand's colour, particles that gather into the title, the logo in 3D, or the title as liquid chrome (chrome needs GPU rendering; otherwise the style's own opening plays).
Title on or off: a project or your own style can leave the title out of the film entirely.
Owners and admins change a team member's role in the team list.
Members can leave a workspace themselves.
Improved
Styles that fill the frame (typography, cinematic, documentary) no longer carry the small heading in the corner.
Inviting someone who is already in the team is caught with a clear message instead of sending a second invitation.
vambel opens to everyone
The public launch: sign up yourself, try it free for 14 days, and make films in nine video styles with your own team.
New
A public site in English and Dutch. Sign up with a confirmed e-mail address and try everything free for 14 days, no card needed.
Three plans by minutes of finished film (Maker, Pro and Studio), Enterprise on request, and packs of extra minutes that never expire. Previews never count.
Workspaces: one plan covers every workspace you own. Invite colleagues by e-mail as admin, editor or viewer.
Bring your own keys for every provider, Anthropic included. Copy a key to another workspace you manage without ever seeing it.
Nine video styles for a series, a film or a single sentence: explaining with data, kinetic typography, product demo, hand-drawn, flat cartoon, cinematic, isometric, collage and documentary. Each moves its own way on the voice: numbers count up, words land on the beat, a cursor clicks, a pencil draws. Make, import and export your own styles too.
Own voices: record your voice with spoken consent and have it made in your own ElevenLabs account. Withdraw it at any time and it is deleted there and here.
Raw preview: watch the film in the browser straight away, before or instead of a render.
Film the picture for each sentence on a phone through a link, with the back camera. Keep your own sound or let the AI voice read the sentence.
A series from a brochure (PDF) as well as from a website, as the right kind of film: public information, educational or sales. A series from a website brings the site's own photos along.
Make a brand kit yourself: name, colours, fonts and end card.
A new workspace opens on a getting-started list: keys, first project, brand and first film, each with its status.
Your account: download all your data or delete the account, and the legal pages (terms, privacy, data processing addendum, AI transparency).
Improved
People are framed: pictures and clips are placed so faces sit inside the brand's form, and with several people the frame moves calmly from face to face.
Cleaner sound: recordings are trimmed to the speech and cleaned of rumble and noise, films are levelled to the loudness platforms play at, and music ducks under spoken words.
Recordings are checked against the script for missed words, and the AI voice is listened back for words that may not sound as written.
Suggestions from your own pictures for each sentence, warnings for dark, blurry or shaky shots, and long uploads cut into shots.
Recordings play inside the studio, and the autocue can be mirrored for a teleprompter mirror.
Finished personage clips can be used in the film, and a soft fade is the default transition.
Fixed
Renders no longer stay on 'rendering' after the film is in.
A logo is no longer used as a picture form.
When the GPU is not available, rendering falls back to the CPU instead of waiting in the queue.
The studio
The first version of the studio: from website or brand manual to a branded, voiced film.
New
The editor: a production board with one next step per episode, the steps Script, Voice, Presenter and Film, a command palette (⌘K), activity and notifications.
Projects, episodes and scripts with approval, rendered as films in your brand, also in 9:16 for social.
Brand kits drafted from a brand manual (PDF) or from your website, approved by a person.
A new project from your website: every sentence tied to the page it rests on.
Voices by ElevenLabs with word timing, so pictures and words follow the voice.
Recording studio: presenters record their on-camera parts through a link, with a karaoke autocue that follows their pace.
Personages: character sheets and animated clips, and lip-synced presenter shots. Real people only with their recorded consent.
An image for each sentence in the brand's style.
Music with a beat grid: cuts and motion land on the beat. GPU rendering with smoother transitions and motion blur.
Direction per series: the look of the pictures, voice speed and delivery, and how names are pronounced.
Client review: a share link where clients watch, approve and comment at a moment in the film.
The assistant: a conversation that sees your production and proposes changes you apply with one click.
Costs: every provider call is recorded and shown per episode and per month.
Fixed
Pictures no longer shake on the beat.
Renders with motion blur have sound again.
Saving motion or direction settings no longer takes the project's music off.
