Transcript: 

Today. version 97. I'm going to keep this one short because D scripts rolling out their version or their season seven. Tomorrow, which is going to have a squad cast integration and a bunch of new stuff. 

So probably a lot of stuff's going to change tomorrow, but in this version they have the zoom and pan animation, preset returns. It had been taken away and it's now back. 

That's all that is personally. I don't really use it. I use the custom animation all the time. So, for most people probably not. Not really helpful. 

AI usage dashboard, admin view. So this has to do with, if you go into your settings and you go to the usage tab right here. You'll now be able to see. How much of your monthly AI? Allocation you've used. 

And then at the top it tells you how many days until your next billing period, but it just goes into a lot more detail. It goes into the basic AI. Advanced AI, Texas speech minutes used and regenerate. 

So now you can see all that in one view. And in this example, they have here. This is showing three different users on, uh, on a particular drive, but probably you'll just see for yourself if you're like most people. 

 And it also says that there will not be warnings as you approach your limit. 

And then there's new stock speakers. So they have six new stock voices, and these are the names that they gave them. And what they're saying is new about this. Is these new voices are going to have some upgrades, including intonation. Um, and it also says I'm more coming in the coming weeks. So up until now, it's been very, most of them are very robotic and flat, but they're saying that these have some more intonation and that you're going to have the ability to control that intonation going forward. 

General editor updates. Keyboard shortcuts for add speaker and ad marker. We're not working in write mode. It's been fixed. So if you hit shift plus the pound sign or the hashtag sign, it'll add a marker and then shift. Plus the at sign. We'll add a speaker that's for labeling a speaker inside of your transcript. 

And they're saying they've removed the option to drop files into the canvas when viewing a blank project. And that's just to prevent you from. Loading your intended script track as a layer. So. be aware of that. You might have to go through the browse and then upload process with your, when you're adding files, creating a speaker will now show in the speaker label menu before any letters are typed. Previously, we would not show this option until texts was. Present in the field. 

And then a number of bug fixes. But I'll check back tomorrow, D scripts doing a big event for season seven. 

So there's gonna be a lot more changes and I'll let you know what they are. And by the way, all of these, this change log is feedback.descript.com/change log.
