🖼️ Improved: Media Menu
You can now see the
duration and orientation
of videos and images when selecting media for your project. 
Choosing the right media is now quicker and easier
We've been getting feedback that picking the right media was tricky — orientation wasn’t clear, and stock videos didn’t show duration. So, we’ve updated the media modal to make selection faster and easier.
With the new media modal, you can see:
🖥️ Image & video orientation (Horizontal or vertical)
⏱️ Video duration
It’s a small update — but it should make a big difference when browsing and selecting the right media for your project. Hope it helps!

The Colossyan Team
Turn text and documents into interactive experiences with branching scenarios.

AI Video Creator
Remember Document-to-Video and Prompt-to-Video?
News flash: you can now find them both under
"AI Video Creator"
— our new way of making video creation fast and simple. Not only that, but
you can also add interactive quizzes, and even branching scenarios
— which will be generated based on your text and/or document. 
How does it work?
Many creators found it confusing that
Document-to-Video
and Document Import
were under the same menu — so we've separated them into two different video creation flows. On the home page, you can now find the following options:
-> Create video
The option to get started from scratch or using a template.
-> AI video creator
The option to generate a video based on your text or your document's content.
-> Import
The option to import your PPT's or PDF's slides and keep them the same as the original.
-> Instant avatar
The option to create a digital avatar from a photo, a video, or a webcam recording.

How do branching scenarios get generated?
If you select "
Branching
" when using the AI video creator, our algorithm will analyze your text and/or document, and based on the content, create one of the following branching types:Linear Branching:
A mostly straight path with a few decision points that briefly diverge before returning to the main storyline. Great for simple choices with a unified ending.Hub-and-Spoke:
A central hub links to various topics. Learners explore one, return to the hub, and choose another. Ideal for modular content.Divergent Branching:
Each choice leads to increasingly different paths and outcomes. There’s no merging back — just multiple unique endings. Best for simulating real-world consequences.Convergent Branching:
Learners take different short paths that eventually lead to the same or similar ending. This provides variety while maintaining consistent learning goals.
Branching scenarios
make learning more interactive, personalized, and memorable—giving learners the power to explore, decide, and experience outcomes.With this update, we hope to make it even easier for you to create engaging, interactive videos using Colossyan.
Thanks for choosing Colossyan, and happy creating!

You can now use the Colossyan API if you're on the Business Plan.

Colossyan API: Scale video creation and personalization
We're excited to announce that creators on Business plans now get 360 minutes of the
Colossyan API
, which can be used to automate video creation. With the Colossyan API, you can:
📽️ Automatically generate hundreds of videos from one video template
✍️ Use personalization tokens such as {Name}, {Feedback} and more
🖼️ Include any content from your Colossyan draft, from custom avatars to media
How to get started with the API:

To get your API key, go to
Settings -> Workspace details -> Workspace API keys.

Create your video template, and click on
Generate
. You will see the Export to API
button. Save your job as a template
, and copy to clipboard. To see the full API guide, please use our documentation: https://docs.colossyan.com/
We hope that this update will help you integrate Colossyan into your existing workflows, and scale video creation with ease. If you have any questions, please contact support@colossyan.com — we're always there to help you out.
Thanks,
The Colossyan Team
You can now easily
move your drafts
between different workspaces. 
Easily move drafts between workspaces
Do you prefer to create videos in your own workspace, and then move them to your team's? Or perhaps, you work in multiple workspaces, and need to move drafts around? Either way, this is now possible
with draft moving!
How does it work?
🎬 To move your draft,
click on the "..." button
and select "Move to workspace"
👤 You can only
move the drafts you've created
— not other people's drafts 👥 If you want to
duplicate the draft
, or need someone else's draft — simply duplicate it in the workspace you're in, and then move the duplicated version
Draft moving currently works for everything in the draft,
except for Instant Avatars and custom fonts.
Best practices for draft moving
- This feature is useful if you prefer to work on your draft first, and then share itwith the rest of your team. Use your personal workspace to create the draft,and move it when you're ready.
- If you prefer to keep the original version in your workspace, duplicate the draft, and then move it.
- You can also create a "Templates" workspacefor all of your teams to use, and keep your existing video layouts there.Your teammates will be able to duplicate the needed templates& move them to their workspaces.

Important notes:
- You can only move the draft if you're the one who created it.If you need to move someone else's draft, simply duplicate it first.
- The draft can be moved to workspaces where you have an owner, an admin, or an editor role— not a viewer role.
- This feature doesn't currently support moving Instant Avatars and uploaded fonts:The avatar will be replaced to a default one when the draft is opened after moving, and the same goes for custom fonts.
P.S. This feature is available on all plans!

Background music now works for the
full duration of interactive videos.

Background music for interactive videos
Before, background music would stop during scenes with quizzes and branching, and only play in non-interactive scenes. We changed this, so now all interactive scenes support music, and you can have your
background audio playing throughout the whole video, with no interruptions — even if it has branching and quizzes.
With this update, you can:
🔊 Include
background music
in branching scenarios and quizzes🗣️ Make your interactive videos
more immersive with audio
🎶 Add relevant
sound effects
to your interactive scenes We hope that this update will help you create even more engaging interactive videos!

🪲 What's Improved & Fixed: Bug Hunt Q1 2025

🪲 First bug hunt of the year
Welcome back to Colossyan! As everyone settles in after the winter holidays, our team has already kicked off the year with our first bug hunt. This week, we’ve focused on fixing issues and making small improvements to ensure a smoother experience for you as we kick off the year together. Here’s what we’ve addressed:
During this week's bug hunt, our team:
- Lowered the default volume on background audiosfor a more balanced sound experience.
- Updated the screen recording featureto default to a 16:9 aspect ratio, ensuring recordings seamlessly fill the scene when added.
- Made animation markers more precisefor improved timing and accuracy.
- Fixed issues that prevented users from adjusting pitch and speed on voices.
- Resolved workspace invitation issues:You can now remove team members before sending an invitation, and duplicate invitations to the same email address are no longer allowed.
...and many more small fixes and improvements that make Colossyan faster, better and more intuitive.
