◆ What’s New
1. AI Edit Assistance
AI technology developed by OPEN8 automatically optimizes cropping of still and video images when matching or uploading materials and when changes in picture angle are made. It also automatically assists with the position of text to match the background image. These processes, which previously required manual editing, are now assisted by AI, making it easy and quick for anyone to create beautiful videos with a good balance of visibility and design.
2. AI Matching
You can now match text material with still and video material as many times as you like during the process of creating a video. When still image or video material is added, the AI will analyze it again, match it with the text content, and recreate the scene. AI editing assistance functions are also added, such as automatic switching of long text to improve visibility. Even when you are creating using a template, if you add text or still images, the AI will match them and automatically rearrange them into the scene.
3. Templates for specific usage
Templates have been greatly expanded for nine categories of use, including recruitment, campaigns, manuals, and more. Scenes, fonts, transitions, etc. are preconfigured so that high quality videos can be simply created just by adding text, still images, and video into each template.
4. Additional features and UI improvements
Newly added to the batch conversion function for font type, size, and color, are text block design, position and color matting, and scene transitions (scene switching effects), allowing you to adjust the uniformity of your video with a single click. In addition, users can now choose from three options for starting video creation: “Create from scratch,” “Create from a template,” or “Create from text,” allowing users to create videos that match their needs.
