Improvements to blog2video.app since May 2026

Automation & integrations

- MCP server (June) — the flagship release. Connect Blog2Video to any AI agent and drive the full pipeline (scenes → voiceover → render) from a single prompt. Documented integrations for Claude, OpenAI/ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, Mistral, n8n, and Make (8 dedicated integration posts, June 4).

¸ Voice & narration

- ElevenLabs voice control (June) expose emotion, delivery speed, and tonal exaggeration as direct controls per voiceover.

- Add/delete voiceover per scene (June) attach or remove narration from any single scene without re-rendering the whole video.

✂️ Editor

- Redesigned scene editor (June) cleaner layout, reorganized controls, faster interaction model.

- Script regeneration (June) give a scene a new tone/angle/framing and it rewrites that scene's script instantly.

- Per-orientation image adjustment (May) reposition/re-crop images independently for landscape vs. portrait so subjects stay framed.

👥 Collaboration (the "on a roll" June release)

- Team collaboration invite co-editors with roles (Owner / Editor / Pending), scene-level threaded comments, and live co-editing with real-time cursors and "X editing" presence chips.

- Edit history / Activity drawer full audit trail, field-level diffs, AI-edits flagged separately from human edits, and one-click revert of any changeset (yours or a teammate's).

¨ New templates

- Bloomberg Terminal (May) amber-on-dark trading-terminal aesthetic for finance.

- Chronicle (May) cream/serif "printed volume" look with drop caps for long-form narrative.

- Sakura (June) Japanese-inspired system: ink-brush kanji titles, drifting petals, fractal cherry tree, washi textures, hanko seal.

- Finance Publication (June 14) sober, authoritative template built for the ~70% of paid users who are finance publishers.

📥 New input sources

- Meeting recordings video (May 7) Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Fireflies, and Loom transcripts/summaries.

- AI chat video (May 22) turn a Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini conversation share link into a video.

📤 Export & sharing

- Four export formats (May) MP4, PNG slides (great for LinkedIn carousels), PDF deck, and PowerPoint.

- URL + iframe embeds (May) every output ships with a shareable link and paste-ready iframe (no third-party host).

🧰 New free tools

- Free stock data visualizer (June 30) live price history (7/30/day) + income statement/balance sheet for any ticker via yfinance, styled in Newscast, Bloomberg, or Newspaper themes; free with an account.

💰 Growth / pricing / ecosystem

- Referral program (May) — both parties get 5 free videos per signup.

- Bulk pricing (May) — $4/video (1-9), $3 (10-29), $2.80 (30+).

- BlogHub launch (May 23) companion "Product Hunt for blogs" with free backlinks, AEO-optimized profile pages, and community rankings.

- Custom branded template service formalized/documented in May (designer-built templates from a brand's fonts, colors, and layout logic).

Growth signal along the way: the June posts cite the jump from ~800 daily creators / 1,000 videos to 3,500+ creators, 6,000+ videos, 439K scenes their fastest-growing stretch.

Two caveats on dating: the "Six Features" post is dated May 1, so those items (Bloomberg/Chronicle templates, per-orientation images, 4-way export, embeds, referrals/bulk pricing) sit right at the boundary include or exclude depending on whether you want strictly after May 1. And several May/June posts (competitor comparisons, LinkedIn/Substack growth guides) are marketing/educational, not product changes, so I left them out.
