Keeping Up With Flow and ChatGPT
What's new
- Reads Flow's generation updates again after Flow changed how it sends them, so each piece is followed from Flow's own reports
- ChatGPT as the director engine works with ChatGPT's redesigned page
Changelog
What's new in Motion
Every Motion release, newest first. You're up to date with v0.1.29.
References Count Correctly
What's new
- A video reference attached in Flow now counts as attached. Motion had stopped with "1 of 2 ingredients" while both were there
No More Silent Waits
What's new
- A piece no longer sits at "Generating in Flow" when the Generate press didn't land. Motion checks that Flow reacted, and tries again or says so
A Fresh Chat Every Time
What's new
- Starting over always opens a new Gemini chat
- When the director's reply can't be read, the error shows what it read
Keep Exact Lip Sync
What's new
- A new switch beside Remove source audio: every mouth movement stays on the same frame as the source video, in time with each word
- Works with Remove source audio too — the mouths still move, and you can put the original sound back in an editor
Replace People & Items
What's new
- Replace several people and objects in one video: Motion finds them, you pick up to four and give each one an image
- A replacement can be described in words instead of an image
- A redesigned panel: a four-step progress bar, the choices as clear cards, and a checklist that shows only what is still missing
Improvements & fixes
- Saving no longer freezes the panel during a run
- Flow's Agent mode is switched off before a run, so Motion can choose Omni
- The panel always shows something while it opens, and a Reload button if it fails
Landscape Output
What's new
- Choose Portrait 9:16 or Landscape 16:9 for every clip in a project
- A refreshed panel with clearer cards, switches and keyboard navigation
Improvements & fixes
- Show the working tab is back to its original behavior: Motion brings up each provider as the work moves there
- Automatic uploads are on by default, and the checklist tells you if your browser's file access still needs enabling
Finished Clips Finish
What's new
- A finished clip no longer stays at "Generating" because Flow showed only its thumbnail
- When the browser blocks an upload, Motion explains the setting to change instead of repeating the upload
Video Links & Omni 1.1 Flash
What's new
- Import a video from a TikTok, Instagram Reel or YouTube link, or with the Motion button beside the video
- Motion uses Omni 1.1 Flash. If your Flow account doesn't offer it, Motion stops before generating and says so
- Gemini reads its answers from a hidden tab more reliably
Trim, Continuity & Retry
What's new
- Trim a long video before splitting it, with Keep start, middle or end shortcuts
- Keep clips consistent: each piece carries on from the last
- Retry a single piece without starting a new job
Motion for Every Account
What's new
- Motion launches as its own Chrome side panel: add a video and a character, and it cuts the video, writes a prompt for each piece and generates them in Flow
- Free accounts get 3 Motion jobs a day; AutoFlow Pro is unlimited
- Create an AutoFlow account inside the panel
- Reference images upload once per Flow project and are reused after that
