New features, improvements and fixes in every release. New accounts receive the latest three updates; the complete history is always here.
2026.10.28.2Latest release
Starlight generation and membership confirmation
Generate with drifting stars, soft nebula colours and an orbiting light. Confirm active membership with the plan and access period. Align membership quotes, reservations and final charges.
Image and video generation show drifting stars, a soft nebula and an orbiting light at the selected aspect ratio, retaining actual queue status, elapsed time and cancellation.
Respect reduced-motion preferences with a static starfield and readable status, avoiding rapid flashes.
Show a floating confirmation with the active plan and access period. Keyboard dismissal and a per-activation acknowledgement in this browser prevent repeat prompts after refresh.
Refresh membership when returning to the page, focusing the window and periodically while visible, so newly activated benefits appear promptly.
Fix discounted member quotes being charged at list price. Freeze the verified rate at submission and apply it consistently to reservations and settlement, preserving legacy jobs and full failed-run refunds.
Restore image references in older projects, remove obsolete loading placeholders and match generation animations to the selected aspect ratio.
Restore enabled references for legacy image connections while preserving explicit deselections across reloads. New image-to-image connections enable their reference and select a compatible image input mode.
Show how many references will be used and identify inactive thumbnails. Character consistency guidance requires an enabled reference and does not promise an exact match from text alone.
Remove the obsolete grid and pale skeleton toolbars shown briefly on entry. Loading uses the same dark background as the canvas.
Fill image and video generation nodes at the selected aspect ratio, with elapsed time and cancel controls overlaid. Hide empty-node suggestions during generation so the animation cannot collapse into a narrow strip.
2026.10.27.4
Connect wires at node plus buttons
Wires start and end at the plus buttons instead of extending to node borders.
Use the same plus-button centres for completed connections and drag previews, including curved and orthogonal wires.
Keep plus-button centres fixed during hover scaling and show connected ports continuously, preserving alignment as nodes move and the canvas zooms.
2026.10.27.3
Canvas interaction and character cards
Fix node renaming and overlapping panels, add connected-node menus and character cards, and improve canvas contrast and bottom tools.
Double-clicking a node name only renames it. Switching model, input mode, settings and skill panels closes the previous panel.
Click a node-side plus to choose image, video, audio, character or text nodes. New image connections select a compatible reference-image input mode.
Add characters from the blank-canvas double-click menu or node rail. Dedicated character cards include original-image uploads, the character library, voice attachments and four character prompt recipes, saved with the project.
Character toolbars provide character setup, expressions, framing and existing image editing tools. Image operations continue in one editing window.
Increase dot-grid contrast against a darker canvas. Move the bottom tools closer to the lower edge, enlarge buttons and icons, and simplify the dark toolbar styling.
2026.10.27.2
Fix Seedream generation and canvas image clarity
Correct Seedream 5.0 Pro size options, allow longer background generation and load sharp previews for display density and zoom.
Offer 1K and 2K for Seedream 5.0 Pro according to its current API limits, removing rejected 3K and 4K choices. Other models that support 4K retain those sizes.
Run all Seedream text-to-image and reference-image generation in the background with a 90-second limit instead of 25 seconds. Concurrent polling shares one task to avoid duplicate submissions.
Choose canvas previews using displayed image width, display pixel density and zoom, loading the original beyond the preview range. Uploads, model references and downloads retain the original file.
2026.10.26.2
Official logos for social accounts
YouTube, Instagram and TikTok connection entries now use official brand icons.
Account management and campaign creation use the platforms’ original full-color logos at their correct proportions, with sizing for desktop and mobile dark interfaces.
2026.10.26.1
Viral Studio: AI brand references and YouTube connection testing
Automatically fill related brand references, refine full-screen onboarding and test real YouTube channel authorization with saved campaign account selections.
Website analysis prioritizes product brands serving similar needs and fills editable references automatically. Suggestions remain distinct from live competitor ad research.
Refine full-screen onboarding fonts, headings, buttons, descriptions and spacing with locally served Inter.
Add account management and campaign account selection. Registered Nova testers can connect real YouTube channels through Google's official read-only authorization. Selected channels persist in campaign drafts across refreshes.
Callbacks validate the signed-in owner, one-time state and origin. Credentials are encrypted server-side and never returned to the browser.
Provide bilingual data notices and cancellation and expiry feedback. Server-confirmed connection changes complete the flow when popup messages cannot return. Disconnection attempts Google revocation, while periodic maintenance refreshes metadata and removes confirmed invalid grants.
Unmatched website evidence and unsupported creative claims receive at most one combined targeted correction. Unverifiable evidence still fails clearly.
The Google app remains in testing and needs platform review before public access. Instagram and TikTok remain unconfigured and unavailable. Video generation, uploading and publishing are not connected.
2026.10.25.2
Viral Studio: AI website analysis and full-screen onboarding
Enter a brand website to prepare your brand, audiences and creative ideas automatically. Open Details for real reading progress, then confirm or edit to continue.
A four-phase full-screen flow covers You, Your brand, The plan and First campaign, without a name step. Go back, save and exit, or resume an account-scoped draft.
Read the homepage and same-site about, product and pricing pages to prefill the brand name, description, selling points, audiences, positioning, competitor suggestions and five creative angles. Review source pages and supporting excerpts, and edit directly.
The website status bar shows the domain and actual pages read. Details displays connection, individual page reading and AI preparation stages without simulated percentages or counts. Onboarding loads with the page to prevent an unstyled dialog in the top-left.
See the actual credit quote before starting. Answer earlier questions during background analysis; refreshing or returning recovers the same task without automatic resubmission and preserves manual edits.
Preview real images and videos, choose organic or paid creative, plan a 30-day posting rhythm and save platform preferences. Carry selected ideas into video configuration or footage review.
Blocked sites and reading failures show clear errors. Unavailable prices and markets stay empty, while AI strategy and competitor references are distinguished from website facts. Video generation, live ad-library research, social account connections and publishing are not yet connected.
2026.10.24.5
Help stays on the home page
The floating help and support entry appears only on the website home page, keeping creation surfaces clear.
Hides floating help in Workspace, Nova Plaza, Events and all other pages.
Leaving Home dismisses the support panel. It can be reopened on return, and direct navigation to other views does not flash the launcher.
2026.10.24.4
Centered Viral Studio home and brand assets
A centered creation surface matches Drama Studio, with alternative website or product upload entry points, followed by style examples and My brands.
Website URL and product upload are alternatives, not sequential steps. The home screen no longer displays a workflow stepper.
Four labeled visual style studies support image or video previews and carrying a style into creative configuration.
Brand cards open a dedicated asset workspace for brand briefs, logos, product images and videos, with type filters and session-local media.
Style references use Nike product photography, BAUER × lululemon Align imagery and Loro Piana Summer Walk retail images, with source attribution and a lululemon original-video link; no views or sales claims are invented.
2026.10.24.3
Lightweight Viral Studio and Blitz Review
Compact brand briefs, reference-to-concept comparisons and focused video review streamline creative decisions.
Full brand forms and advanced video settings start collapsed. Analysis stages are explicitly labeled manual demos, with no fabricated results.
Compare 1 / 3 / 5 concepts, save, skip, restore and edit locally. Concept previews remain distinct from finished footage.
Review finished videos with buttons or swipes, keep a collection and restore skipped clips. Explicit demos and imported footage never imply Nova generation or automatic publishing.
Reuses studio styling, publishing drafts and calendar. AI, research, quotes, OAuth and publishing remain disconnected.
2026.10.24.1
Complete reference kits for 19 characters
Adds front-facing full-body, nine-expression and three-view references for 19 existing characters, alongside their original close-ups.
Covers contemporary, historical and period adults, seniors, children and teens while retaining each character's existing face, hair and clothing.
Turnarounds show front, side and back views. Full-body references include complete figures and shoes, with individually reviewed crops for wide sleeves.
Enlarge, select, save to your cast or add any of the four reference types to the canvas using the complete assets.
The library remains at 32 characters. This update completes 19 kits; the other 13 retain their original front-facing close-ups.
2026.10.23.5
Front-facing characters and pet references
The library expands to 32 original characters with natural photographic references across ages, professions, eras and species, including cats and dogs.
Remade preset references with natural skin, hair and fabric detail, squarely facing the lens, with children, teens, young adults, middle-aged and older characters.
Covers contemporary, historical, period, fantasy and science-fiction characters, plus ginger cats, British shorthairs, ragdolls, Shiba inus, golden retrievers and border collies.
Adds a Pets category and cat, dog, elf and dwarf filters, attribute-aware search and complete paired Chinese and English profiles.
Lightweight card thumbnails open full references that can be enlarged, saved to your cast or added to the canvas. Existing projects retain their original asset URLs.
2026.10.23.4
Simpler creative entry copy
Removes supporting lines around the creative prompt for a quieter interface.
Removes the heading subtitle, example caption and helper sentence in the prompt.

2026.10.23.3
A new creative starting point
A distinctive workspace heading, rotating prompt ideas and a consistent dark background across Home and Workspace.
Replaces the inline mode pills with a Nova starting-point heading. Creation modes remain available below the prompt.
Empty prompts rotate examples every 4.5 seconds with subtle text and dot motion. Rotation pauses while focused, typing or saving, and respects reduced motion.
Home uses the same dark ground as Workspace, removing the extra washes, dot texture and footer gradient.
2026.10.23.2
Course series and in-site episode playback
Explore 9 collections with 69 lessons, choose episodes and watch original-platform videos here, with accurate course totals and lesson details.
MediaStorm is one 23-lesson DaVinci Resolve collection totaling 3h 43m, with one cover and individual lesson titles and durations.

Page loading is contained in the right content area, preserving the collapsed sidebar state.
Drama and marketing agents gain import and writing sections, compact controls, working tool links and real recent projects.
Presenter studio replaces the interactive-story entry. Choose a presenter, plan a spoken script and create video-generation nodes with a character reference; model and credit confirmation still happens before generation.
The four generic canvas photos are replaced with previews for storyboards, character turnarounds, video and a three-dimensional stage.
2026.10.22.3
Centered navigation and a simpler announcement
The four navigation links are centered on the window, with a compact single-line announcement on a pale lavender background.
Navigation is centered on the window. On narrower screens it uses a separate row to avoid account controls.
The announcement replaces gradients, glow and a two-line slogan with a flat lavender background, concise benefits and a white button.
Membership, daily credits and remembered dismissal remain available with consistent Chinese and English styling.
2026.10.22.2

A dedicated project grid adds name search, recent-edit and name sorting, and a single new-project entry.
Quieter cards retain covers, names, edit times and project actions with less persistent visual chrome.
Bulk deletion is retry-safe for already deleted owned cloud projects. Successful batches are retained when another batch fails, leaving only failed projects selected.
Deletion feedback and cancellation make batch actions clearer, with project lists and the sidebar kept in sync.
2026.10.21.4
Public workspace browsing and improved creation
Browse the workspace, skills and films without signing in. Sign in to enter the canvas, save skills and create content.
Workspace and Skills are publicly browsable. Creation and uploads require sign-in, retaining the prompt, selected skill and preferences on return.

The creation entry supports image and video attachments, agent modes, output type, model preference and aspect ratio, with model and credit confirmation on the existing canvas.
A dedicated Skills page supports search, categories, saved skills and recent usage. Scenario-based skills reuse existing canvas workflows and creative agents.
Removed the extra homepage search bar and added scene switching, a grouped composer toolbar and a canvas switch. Original reference-page shortcut icons and paired covers replace mismatched samples, bringing recommendations and selected work higher on the page.
The sidebar prioritizes eight common entries with projects directly below; existing secondary tools remain in More tools. Selected work combines a feature tile and smaller cards, with activities and filters still accessible.
Refined membership styling and blue-violet campaign announcements use configured pricing, campaign dates and remembered dismissal.
Basic video study adds local keyframes, hard-cut estimates, editable timings and prompts, JSON export, and canvas import of keyframes and generation nodes.

Continuous discovery and simpler navigation
Keep discovering different real films, open the canvas directly, and share work within Nova.
Removed the Create group and Director entry from the sidebar, keeping Infinite Canvas as a direct destination.
Nova Plaza loads additional pages of different real films as you scroll, without the twelve-item cap, with deduplication and retry.
Categories and search use independent pagination so matching work continues loading after a filter change.
Removed platform source labels from work cards and the full-screen player. Shared links open the corresponding work within Nova.
Long feeds defer poster and hover-preview loading and skip painting offscreen content. Videos remain cloud-hosted.

A simpler project library and reliable bulk deletion
All projects now opens directly into your work without promotional carousels or shortcuts. Bulk deletion correctly clears stale copies of previously deleted cloud projects.
A dedicated project grid adds name search, recent-edit and name sorting, and a single new-project entry.
Quieter cards retain covers, names, edit times and project actions with less persistent visual chrome.
Bulk deletion is retry-safe for already deleted owned cloud projects. Successful batches are retained when another batch fails, leaving only failed projects selected.
Deletion feedback and cancellation make batch actions clearer, with project lists and the sidebar kept in sync.

Public workspace browsing and improved creation
Browse the workspace, skills and films without signing in. Sign in to enter the canvas, save skills and create content.
Workspace and Skills are publicly browsable. Creation and uploads require sign-in, retaining the prompt, selected skill and preferences on return.
Major workspace pages share persistent navigation and sidebar state. Workspace and discovery pages no longer initialize an unused canvas.
Recent projects live in the sidebar with covers and full-name tooltips. Open all projects from the project heading's three-dot menu.
The creation entry supports image and video attachments, agent modes, output type, model preference and aspect ratio, with model and credit confirmation on the existing canvas.
A dedicated Skills page supports search, categories, saved skills and recent usage. Scenario-based skills reuse existing canvas workflows and creative agents.
Removed the extra homepage search bar and added scene switching, a grouped composer toolbar and a canvas switch. Original reference-page shortcut icons and paired covers replace mismatched samples, bringing recommendations and selected work higher on the page.
The sidebar prioritizes eight common entries with projects directly below; existing secondary tools remain in More tools. Selected work combines a feature tile and smaller cards, with activities and filters still accessible.
Refined membership styling and blue-violet campaign announcements use configured pricing, campaign dates and remembered dismissal.
Basic video study adds local keyframes, hard-cut estimates, editable timings and prompts, JSON export, and canvas import of keyframes and generation nodes.
Shortcut entries open available tools: Video study replaces the placeholder, while agents show AI planning when a quote is available and retain free structured planning.

Continuous discovery and simpler navigation
Keep discovering different real films, open the canvas directly, and share work within Nova.
Removed the Create group and Director entry from the sidebar, keeping Infinite Canvas as a direct destination.
Nova Plaza loads additional pages of different real films as you scroll, without the twelve-item cap, with deduplication and retry.
Categories and search use independent pagination so matching work continues loading after a filter change.
Removed platform source labels from work cards and the full-screen player. Shared links open the corresponding work within Nova.
Long feeds defer poster and hover-preview loading and skip painting offscreen content. Videos remain cloud-hosted.

Twelve selected dramas, animations and creative films on the homepage and creation feed, with original sources and available creator credits.
Cloud-hosted segmented video, poster-only initial loading and cancellation when hover previews end.
Industry activity cards include organizers, submission dates, official links and automatic ended states.
A full-screen player with a left-hand information overlay and bottom filmstrip, retaining pause, seeking and Escape to close.
The existing creation input remains intact, with neutral backgrounds, borders and text throughout the dark interface.
Smaller character cards show front-facing upper bodies and clothing while retaining filters, search and full reference kits.
Project covers recover from missing summaries, expired addresses and temporary loading failures using retries and alternate frames.
