Changelog

Workflow start requests can now render an MP4 before the run is marked succeeded. Set autoExport: true (REST and SDK default is still false). MCP workflow tools default autoExport to true. Zapier, Make, n8n, and Pipedream always auto-export (the field is not shown) and wait until the MP4 is ready. When auto-export is on, wait until status is succeeded and use downloadUrl. Remix actions on the same start request finish before that export.

The no-code apps now start a VideoGen workflow and wait until the exported MP4 is ready. The only instant trigger is project_export.succeeded. Individual media tools, file upload, project lookup, and other webhook triggers are no longer in those apps. Use the REST API or SDKs for that.

Docs no longer advertise unpublished per-framework agent packages. Give an agent VideoGen with the MCP server, or bind the TypeScript or Python SDK in your framework.

Workflow start requests can now render an MP4 before the run is marked succeeded. Set autoExport: true (REST default is still false; MCP and Zapier / Make / n8n / Pipedream default true). When it is on, wait until status is succeeded and use downloadUrl. Remix actions on the same start request finish before that export.

Omitting durationSeconds on POST /v1/tools/generate-video-clip (or passing null) now estimates clip length at generate time so spoken text or the visual beat fits. Previously a missing duration was treated as 6 seconds, which rejected spoken clips longer than 6 seconds. Pass a whole number from 1 to 30 to pin an exact length.

Workflow start requests already accepted hideFromUi to keep generated files off the Media page. The same field now also hides the project from Home and Projects unless the viewer turns on Show hidden projects. Direct project URLs and API get/list still work. Defaults to false.

You can subscribe to project export completion instead of polling the export GET. Every voiceId field also accepts a catalog displayName (for example Matilda or Charlie) in addition to a vg_voic_… id from GET /v1/resources/tts-voices. Existing clients that send ids keep working.

Signed file download and thumbnail URLs in API responses now use VideoGen hosts. uploadUrl for PUT uploads is unchanged.

Version 2.1 of the TypeScript SDK, Python SDK, CLI, MCP server, and OpenClaw plugin. List VideoGen’s built-in catalog on the Entities API, generate spoken lip-synced clips, theme slideshow-to-video decks, and install the OpenClaw plugin from npm or ClawHub.

Slideshow-to-video no longer requires a theme when you are converting an uploaded PDF or PowerPoint’s original pages.

Slideshow-to-video now requires a slideshow theme so every generated slide shares one design system.

POST /v1/tools/generate-image now accepts optional actor, product, and visual-style entity ids. The model uses them as identity/reference the same way in-app image generation does.

POST /v1/tools/generate-video-clip now accepts spokenDialogue (the exact line the subject should speak as native, lip-synced speech) and voiceDescription (how that voice should sound). The model synthesizes the voice from that text. audioFileIds still accepts a reference recording for lip-sync from that file. You can pass spoken text, reference audio, or both.

POST /v1/tools/generate-video-clip now accepts suppressBackgroundMusic. When true, the generated clip will not include a musical soundtrack. Spoken dialogue and environmental sound are still allowed. Use this when you will add background music separately, for example at the project level.

You can now apply a Ken Burns zoom to every still image in a project with a remix action.

Avatar generation now uses reusable ACTOR entities exclusively.

This release lets MCP hosts identify themselves so connected integrations show up correctly in VideoGen.

This release adds actor-based avatar generation, team file controls, interactive CLI sign-in, and more control over motion graphics. It also expands the agent integration packages and removes several plan restrictions.

This release removes the unsupported workflow-suggestion override from assistant chat creation.

This release fixes MCP OAuth in Cursor so protected tools receive the access token after Sign in with VideoGen.

This release lets storyboard-to-video pick scene lengths automatically, improves the hosted MCP experience in ChatGPT, and updates the in-app URL where you create API keys.
