What shipped in April: priority queue, 4K, API beta

A round-up of the three biggest releases this month, plus what is on the roadmap for May.

Short update this month — three meaningful ships, one big roadmap reveal.

1. Priority render queue

Creator plan users now skip the standard queue entirely. Average wait time dropped from 18 minutes at peak to under 5 minutes. We added a dedicated worker pool that only processes Creator jobs.

2. 4K export on Studio

Studio plan now supports 4K (3840×2160) exports. Internally we render at 2K and upscale with a post-processing pipeline. File sizes roughly 3× larger than 1080p — CDN handles it transparently.

3. API beta

Studio plan customers can now request API credentials. The endpoints match what the dashboard uses: POST /v1/jobs to create, GET /v1/jobs/:id to poll. Docs are in private preview — email us if you want in.

Coming in May

  • Character consistency mode — lock a face across all shots
  • Voiceover integration — built-in text-to-speech tied to scenes
  • Templates — save prompt patterns as reusable blueprints
  • Team workspaces — multi-seat collaboration on Studio plan

As always, reply to any email or ping us on Twitter — we read everything.
