Onvidio v2.3.1: Per-Scene Layouts, Magnifier Zooms & Demo Call-Outs


Whether you’re demonstrating software capabilities to a prospective enterprise buyer, staging a high-energy conference opener, or summarizing quarterly numbers for your executive team, every scene in your video tells a distinct story. A product demo requires sharp visual focus; a key takeaway demands bold typography; a data metric needs a clean stat card.

At Onvidio, our mission is straightforward: if you can write an outline or notes, you can create studio-grade business video in 60 seconds—without spending hours inside complex video editors or hiring outside agencies.

Today, we are thrilled to announce Onvidio v2.3.1. Building directly on our v2.3 dynamic captioning engine, this release delivers unprecedented visual control for everyday business communicators. From per-scene layout selection and magnifier zoom-in stickers to animated hand-drawn demo call-outs, word-by-word kinetic captions, and snappy 0.5-second scene cuts, v2.3.1 gives your videos the polish of a professional motion design team in a few clicks.

Here is everything you gain in Onvidio v2.3.1 and how it elevates your everyday business video workflow.


🚀 What’s New in Onvidio v2.3.1

🎨 Per-Scene Layout Selection & Overrides

Mix and match layout designs for every scene in your video.

Previously, selecting a layout applied that look uniformly across your entire video project. While that ensured consistency, business narratives naturally change rhythm from one scene to the next.

In v2.3.1, you have complete creative freedom with Per-Scene Layout Overrides:

  • Independent Scene Design: Give every scene its own dedicated layout. You can open with an impactful cinematic headline, transition to a side-by-side comparison layout for problem-and-solution, present a bold stat card for key quarterly metrics, showcase a customer quote, and close with a dedicated call-to-action layout.
  • New Layout Picker with Categories: Browse layouts through an intuitive modal equipped with instant category filters (Titles, Metrics, Comparisons, Quotes, Text Motion, Spotlights) and smooth infinite scrolling.
  • Starred Favorites Palette: Star the layouts your brand uses most often so your team can access them instantly without searching.
  • Visual Timeline Indicators: Each scene on your timeline now displays a clear visual badge showing its active layout, making it effortless to audit your video’s visual variety at a glance.

🔍 Magnifier Zoom-In Sticker: Spotlight Product & UI Details

Draw immediate focus to buttons, metrics, and fine print in screen recordings and screenshots.

When sharing a product walkthrough or presenting a complex financial dashboard, asking viewers to squint at a tiny number or button loses their attention.

The new Magnifier Zoom-In Sticker acts as an interactive camera loupe right on your scene:

  • Instant Detail Magnification: Drop a magnifier sticker onto any image, scene frame, or UI capture to zoom in on the exact detail you want viewers to see.
  • Adjustable Scale & Position: Freely adjust the zoom magnification power and position the target center point across your canvas until the focal area is framed perfectly.
  • Four Premium Rim Styles: Tailor the magnifier look to your brand aesthetic:
    • Floating: Clean, elevated drop-shadow that blends into modern SaaS UI.
    • Glow: High-contrast luminous rim that commands immediate focus in noisy social feeds.
    • Frosted: Elegant glassmorphic border for executive video briefings and luxury branding.
    • Blueprint: Technical, high-precision ring ideal for engineering roadmaps and product architectures.
  • Auto-Upright Alignment: Tilt or rotate the outer magnifier ring to create dynamic angles without distorting the view—the magnified content inside remains upright and legible automatically.

✏️ Hand-Drawn “Rough” Notations & Demo Call-Outs

Guide your audience’s eye with authentic, animated sketch annotations.

Static screenshots often feel flat and lifeless. The new Rough Notation Stickers bring human warmth and dynamic guidance to your product demos and executive video updates:

  • 5 Expressive Annotation Styles: Add dynamic sketch arrows pointing to key buttons, hand-drawn circles around focal data points, clean rectangles framing features, organic underlines beneath critical text, and marker highlighter strokes.
  • Animated In-Scene Sketching: Notations animate smoothly as if sketched in real time the moment your narration mentions the item, maintaining viewer engagement throughout the scene.
  • Custom Draw Speeds & Brand Colors: Match the sketch line thickness, drawing speed, and stroke color to your corporate brand guidelines.
  • Organized Creative Sidebar: We’ve redesigned the sidebar into dedicated, distraction-free tabs for Stickers & Notations, Dynamic Captions, and Data Charts, complete with live shape previews so you can grab what you need in seconds.

💬 Word-by-Word & Progressive Word-Plus-Word Dynamic Captions

Maximize viewer retention in sound-off social feeds and busy office lobbies.

Over 80% of business videos on LinkedIn and office lobby screens are watched without sound. Expanding our speech synchronization engine, v2.3.1 introduces two new high-impact caption animation styles:

  • Word-by-Word Kinetic Display: Highlights each individual word in rapid, exact rhythm with your voiceover. This creates an energetic cadence that hooks mobile scrollers on LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube.
  • Word-Plus-Word (Progressive Accumulation): Builds full phrases word by word as the voiceover progresses, keeping the preceding words visible on screen. Viewers can absorb complex business concepts without losing sentence context.
  • On-Canvas Element Toolbar: Click directly on any caption to reveal instant drag handles, font scale adjustments, and color presets. Automatic reflow ensures your captions never collide with other scene elements.

⏱️ Snappy 0.5-Second Pacing & Configurable Audio Offsets

Fine-tune your video’s rhythm for energetic teasers or thoughtful executive briefings.

Great video editing is all about timing and rhythm. In v2.3.1, you gain precision control over both visual duration and spoken cadence:

  • 0.5-Second Minimum Scene Duration: Cut scenes down to a brisk half-second (reduced from 1.0s). Perfect for rapid-fire teaser reels, quick logo stingers, montage cuts, and high-tempo event countdowns. All 30+ layout animations automatically compress their motion curves so your video looks sharp and intentional.
  • Configurable Voiceover Start Offsets: Eliminate abrupt speech starts. You can now set a brief delay before your voiceover begins on any scene, letting the visual graphics and title land on screen first. Built-in audio validation ensures your voiceover is never cut off at the end of a scene.

⚡ New Kinetic Typography Layouts: BeatDance & FlyScatter

Turn simple headlines into unforgettable visual statements.

When introducing a new product launch or announcing company milestones, static text cards fail to convey energy. v2.3.1 adds two new animated text-motion layouts:

  • BeatDance Layout: Automatically locks kinetic text motion to the rhythm and musical transients of your soundtrack. Ideal for conference kickoffs, event agenda highlights, and product drop announcements.
  • FlyScatter Layout: Sends bold words flying into position from multi-directional angles before snapping into clean alignment. Designed for high-conviction executive quotes and big takeaway moments.
