Product Updates

We've added Full Screen Captions, a new Podcast Template that makes the transcript the entire visual.

Each word appears when it is spoken and stays on screen until the current caption page is complete. Then the next phrase starts on a clean frame. There is no cover art or waveform competing with the words.

The template uses your selected background color and font, and it works in landscape, portrait, and square layouts. It is a strong fit for episode videos and social clips that need to read clearly before someone turns on the sound.

How to use it

1. Open an episode in the Studio.
2. Click Video Style above the video preview.
3. Pick Full Screen Captions, then click Use.

The preview updates immediately, with no visual generation required. See Video Templates for the full Podcast Template lineup.

Episode pages now play audio through the same controls as your embed player, in the Studio and on your podcast website.

Opening a published audio episode in the Studio used to show no player at all until a video was ready. Now it plays inline with cover art, play/pause, adjustable speed, skip back 10 seconds or forward 30, volume, and a progress bar. On your podcast website, episode pages get the same upgrade in place of the browser's plain audio bar, matching your site's theme in light and dark mode.

Sharing also no longer requires a video: any published episode with a render, audio or video, gets a working share link. See Sharing Episodes and Your Podcast Website for details.

We just added 178 new professional voices to the Voice Library, including our first voices in eight languages: Arabic, Hindi, Greek, Czech, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, and Filipino.

Accents got deeper too, 20 of them new in this release. Italian now comes in Sicilian, Milanese, Venetian, and Romanesco. French adds Quebec, Chinese splits into Beijing and Taiwan Mandarin, and Arabic ships in both Egyptian and Modern Standard. Even English picked up Boston, New York, and Southern US voices. All told, the library now holds nearly 400 voices across 22 languages and more than 50 accents.

This matters most when your audience does not listen in English. A voice whose primary language matches your listeners sounds native to them, not translated. And since every voice in the library can speak all supported languages, you can also flip it around: keep your episodes in English and cast a host with a Parisian or Athenian accent that fits your show.

To browse the new arrivals, open Characters and Voices in Studio, then filter by language or accent on the Explore Voices tab. The Voice Library guide covers searching, previewing, and favoriting if you want the full walkthrough.

Your colors and logos now live in one place. A Brand Kit holds five color roles (Primary, Secondary, Accent, Background, and Text) plus separate logos for light and dark backgrounds, and it belongs to your organization rather than to a single podcast.

The fastest way to make one is to paste your website URL. Jellypod reads the site for your brand name, logos, and colors, then opens the editor pre-filled with what it found. You review and correct every value, and nothing saves until you confirm it.

Assign a kit to a podcast and its website picks up the accent right away. Edit the kit later and the site follows. New Shorts start from your organization default, and you can switch kits or turn branding off for a single Short before generating.

Each Video Style shows a badge for how much of a kit it uses: Full for the whole palette, Accent for the accent color only, or None for styles that keep their own look. Generated video snapshots your kit at generation time, so recoloring a Brand Kit never rewrites a Short you already made.

Click Brand Kits under Personalize in the studio sidebar to set up your first one. Full walkthrough in Brand Kits.

We've added Pixel Art, a new AI-generated video style built on one consistent coarse square-pixel grid, staged as a bright three-quarter adventure diorama.

Layered terrain, elevated paths, and overlapping scenery give each scene playful 2.5D depth without voxels or smooth 3D rendering, lit with warm daylight and a saturated, topic-adaptive palette. Motion uses a short whole-pixel camera track across the diorama while one focal sprite performs a discrete action, and captions use warm-cream block-pixel lettering with a hard forest-green outline and a coral current word on a soft sky-blue canvas.

How to use it

1. On the Shorts page, pick Pixel Art from the style rail, or open the Video Style picker above an episode's video preview to apply it to Magic Video.
2. Jellypod handles the art direction automatically, choosing palette, composition, and treatment to fit your topic.
3. Browse a full-size preview any time from Video Styles in the studio sidebar's Personalize section.

Pixel Art joins Paper Mache, Whiteboard Explainer, Watercolor, Sketch, Stickman, Almanac, Claymation, and Toy Bricks as Jellypod's ninth style. See Creating Shorts for a description of each.

We've added Toy Bricks, a new AI-generated video style built entirely from interlocking toy-brick construction, staged like a feature-film diorama.

It's photographed with dramatic low camera angles, shallow depth of field, and a polished stop-motion cadence, so every scene reads as a full-scale miniature set rather than flat digital art.

How to use it

1. On the Shorts page, pick Toy Bricks from the style rail, or open the Video Style picker above an episode's video preview to apply it to Magic Video.
2. Jellypod handles the art direction automatically, choosing palette, composition, and treatment to fit your topic.
3. Browse a full-size preview any time from Video Styles in the studio sidebar's Personalize section.

Toy Bricks joined Paper Mache, Whiteboard Explainer, Watercolor, Sketch, Stickman, Almanac, and Claymation as Jellypod's eighth style. The catalog has continued to grow since then. See Creating Shorts for the current lineup.

We've added Claymation, a new AI-generated video style built from handcrafted plasticine caricatures acting silently inside warm, mixed-material miniature sets.

It's photographed with practical lighting, gentle depth falloff, and restrained stop-motion imperfections, so scenes feel tactile and handmade rather than rendered.

How to use it

1. On the Shorts page, pick Claymation from the style rail, or open the Video Style picker above an episode's video preview to apply it to Magic Video.
2. Jellypod handles the art direction automatically, choosing palette, composition, and treatment to fit your topic.
3. Browse a full-size preview any time from Video Styles in the studio sidebar's Personalize section.

Claymation joined Paper Mache, Whiteboard Explainer, Watercolor, Sketch, Stickman, and Almanac as Jellypod's seventh style. Toy Bricks became the eighth, and the catalog has continued to grow. See Creating Shorts for the current lineup.

The stock media library now includes ten ambience beds: looping atmospheres that play under your episode and give it a sense of place.

Set a conversational show in a corner cafe or an evening lounge, put storytelling in front of a crackling fireplace or steady rain, or keep a wellness episode calm with distant surf and morning birdsong. There is also a smooth pink noise bed for deep-focus listening. Every bed loops seamlessly for your entire episode and is mastered to sit quietly under voices, so dialogue always stays clear.

To try one, click Add Music in the script editor, choose Background Music, and search "ambience" in the stock tab.

Read more in the Adding Music guide.

Jellypod can now make Shorts: standalone vertical videos you generate from a single prompt.

Type what you want the Short to be about, or drop in a source (a file, link, or pasted text), pick a host to narrate it, and choose about 30 or 60 seconds. Jellypod writes the script, performs the narration in your host's voice, animates it shot by shot in an illustrated style, scores it with an original instrumental track, and adds word-synced captions. What comes back is a finished 9:16 video, ready for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

One prompt in, a finished Short out. There is no timeline to assemble and no template to configure.

When you want to change something, the Short opens in an editable workspace. Rewrite the narration for any beat, regenerate a visual or drag in your own image or video, swap the host, or replace the music. Then share a public link or download the video.

Shorts live in the Shorts tab in the studio sidebar. Generating one costs 5 credits per second of the final video. For the full walkthrough, see Creating Shorts and Managing Shorts.

You can now turn documents and images into a narrated Video.

Select Voiceover on the studio dashboard, pick a narrator, and upload documents or images. Jellypod writes a script, generates the narration in that voice, and times every supplied visual to the spoken words. The result opens in the same editor as Videos and Shorts, where you can edit the script, regenerate audio, adjust visuals and timing, render, download, and share.
