NodeTool 0.8.0 adds guided AI video production, AI editing on the timeline, and project-scoped workspaces. It also adds a fullscreen agent chat in the CLI and new providers and models.
Highlights
Guided AI video production
- Create a video through a guided flow. The flow goes from a screenplay and beats to storyboard shots and a timeline (#5809, #5800, #5801).
- Pick the beats model in the video flow (#5781). Pick the render model at render time, per shot (#5875).
- Render one storyboard shot as a still or a clip with a selected model (#5875).
- Edit a shot below its card (#5725). Storyboards load from thumbnails for speed (#5731).
- The +New menu is built around guided creation flows. Guided flows are filed by project (#5876, #5856, #5848).
- Guided entity creation with AI-generated reference images.
Timeline: native AI media editing
- Video take candidates: audition takes and apply one as a single edit (#5789, #5791, #5792).
- Native media editing, phases 1 and 2 (#5808, #5810). The agent can use these edit operations too (#5805).
- Smart Reframe format adaptation (#5782) and MediaTrack subject tracking (#5779).
- Final Cut-style audio fades (#5769), clip crop and film grain (#5744), and trackpad source slip.
- Speech and music generation in the timeline composer (#5719).
- Interchange export (#5787) and more video extension support.
- A scalable editor and the Serein example timeline (#5874).
Projects
- Resources, chats, and agent runs are scoped to the active project (#5732, #5707, #5718).
- Archive, delete, and copy projects. Copies get independent document dependencies (#5735, #5733).
- Multiple chat threads per project (#5730).
- The project selector is in the workspace tab bar. Project documents are grouped in a side panel.
- Memory has its own page, outside of chat (#5723).
Workflows
- Loop through a workflow with a Loop node. The agent has a new Decision node (#5865).
- Send storyboard, script, timeline, and asset media to a workflow canvas (#5872).
- List-typed sources flatten into multi-edge list aggregation (#5775).
- Workflow editor UX and accessibility improvements (#5850).
CLI agent chat
- Fullscreen agent chat with sessions and approvals (#5849).
- Browse models and inspect sub-agents. Storyboard tools are on by default.
Mini apps
- Hardened Mini App runtime paths (#5837). App widgets can download media.
- New podcast, video post, and guided ad maker example apps.
Providers and models
- New Higgsfield provider (#5839, #5871).
- AtlasCloud: signed prediction callbacks, new image and video models, and mapped request parameters (#5860).
- fal.ai: 50 new endpoints, including H3 Max Extend Video and Flux 3 Video Edit (#5867).
- KIE: the newest media and chat models (#5728).
- Gemini 3.8 Flash TTS and Flash-Lite TTS (#5866).
- Custom endpoints can offer image and video models (#5858).
- Codex shows as a separate provider and lists only live models.
- New task types: video upscale, interpolate, outpaint (#5739), and audio-to-audio (#5729).
Reliability
- Durable generation recovery. Renders recover after a browser disconnect or a server restart (#5750, #5763).
- Shared document sync for timeline, storyboard, script, and sketch documents. Edits survive agent writes (#5741, #5753, #5754, #5768, #5780).
- Local asset uploads stream up to 2 GiB. The agent stages large local assets for ffmpeg and ffprobe.
- MCP asset transfer and media duration handling.
- OpenRouter errors that arrive with an HTTP 200 now show as errors.
- The documents panel loads from one lean endpoint (#5825). Thumb-sized images load from thumbnails (#5734).
Fixes
- Onboarding fixes F1–F12 (#5838).
- Mobile browser interactions and media support work again.
- Timeline preview has a recovery boundary. Timeline shortcuts work from slider controls.
- Asset library: video thumbnails and project-scoped library regressions (#5819, #5783).
- Preview downloads keep the audio format (#5826).
- Chat handles provider and media failures (#5772).
Tooling
- The NodeTool surface skills ship with the product (#5834, #5832).
- Compiler commands use TypeScript 7. Vitest is at 5.0.1 (#5828).
- The AUR package is built, installed, and launch-tested before publishing (#5861).
