🪲 What's Improved & Fixed: Bug Hunt Q4 2024

Bug Hunt Template
Colossyan Bug Hunt Q4 2024
At Colossyan, we are inspired by the Japanese Kaizen approach to continuous improvement, which emphasizes
incremental changes for long-term efficiency and quality.
While we dedicate significant time throughout the year to enhancing our platform sprint by sprint, we also recognize the value of
stepping back and focusing on UX/UI improvements
in a more concentrated way.
Each quarter,
we dedicate one full week to this effort
, allowing our engineers to pair program, deepen their understanding of the codebase, and collaborate across teams, independent of their usual responsibilities.
These dedicated weeks ensure that
we continuously refine the platform, addressing user feedback and making impactful changes to enhance your experience.
Here’s an overview of the improvements and fixes made during our most recent week in early October:
✨ Features
  • Automatically create
    closed captions
    for generated videos.
  • Add playback
    speed control
    to the player.

🪄 UX Improvements
  • When you
    customize the colors of your template
    , they will be saved when you add additional scenes from that template.
  • You no longer need to search for your template again
    when adding another scene from it — it will automatically reopen for you.
  • Language variants
    are now much easier to manage: We removed the
    edit
    button, so you can immediately export or delete new language variants.
Bug Hunt Template 1
  • We changed
    the "X" icon of the AI assistant button
    inside the prompt modal to be more visible.
Bug Hunt Template 2
  • We added
    a descriptive button for replacing images
    when media is added.
  • Default languages in language variants now show
    most popular languages.
Bug Hunt Template 3
  • Hand gesture
    was added to the context menu when forward slash (“/”) is applied.
Bug Hunt Template 4
  • Empty state on the media tab
    got a lot more elegant.
  • We iterated on
    copy of the UI
    in multiple places. (Breaks = Pauses)
  • We improved the quality of our
    screen recording feature
    by updating its codec.
🪲 Fixes
  • Reordering layers
    won’t impact the position of the assets on the screen.
  • Editing with AI
    will work much smoother without erasing anything from the block.
  • We fixed the
    draft thumbnails
    for imported materials.
  • Custom voices
    won’t have a buzzing sound anymore.
  • Forward slash menu “/”
    is smoother to use when triggered at the bottom of the script box.
  • Instant Avatars
    are now showing up for organizational members.
  • When
    highlighting a word
    , the system's right-click menu no longer overlaps with the script editor's contextual menu.
  • We fixed the overflowing text issue in the
    global preview window.
  • We improved several
    error messages
    and made them more actionable.
  • We improved the
    copy/paste workflow for text boxes.
We hope these fixes and improvements will make your Colossyan experience more enjoyable and productive! ✌️
