Videate UI Update Release Notes

We are excited to release our updated User Interface to you! Please watch this general overview, then see below for more info on some of the new available features.

New Features

• Real Time Video Editing

  We have released two new features to improve the Real Time Editing workflow for your videos.

  Fix As You Go

   

  The first of these is called "Fix As You Go", which you can see in the video above, and find more information on in our Zendesk article here.

  Ref Selectors in Sidebars

  

  When you use the Videate Sidebar (now available for Google Docs and Oxygen Web) and preview a video, you will see on the bottom right of your screen a thumbnail of the selector you've created. This appears after the first full preview of your document, and gives you a visual reference of what each selector is referring to. you can see more about our Ref selectors here.

• File Uploads in Environments

   

  Many have expressed a need to show the process of uploading a document into your platform, which necessitates uploading the document into your environment for access through the instance's file explorer. This feature is now available, and you can find more information on the feature here.

• WellSaid Voices

  We have partnered with a new premium voice provider, WellSaid Labs. You can hear one of the voices available, Genevieve, in the introductory video on the top of this page, as well as in our updated documentation.

  There is an extra charge associated with WellSaid voices, so please contact your CSM for more information if you are interested.

• Advanced Compositor

   

  For those who need advanced transitions in their videos, we have a new feature called the Compositor. The Compositor allows you to set up advanced transitions on a per-environment basis. This can be enabled by your CSM, who will also walk you through setting up your first Compositor profile.

• Translations (Coming Soon)

   

  We're working on making your translation process so much simpler with new tools in Videate. Check out the video above for more information on what is coming soon.
