OneTake 8.5: Speedy Exports & Social Media Magic

Welcome to this session of the "Real Time" with OneTake AI.

Today, I'm going to show you what is new in this new version, OneTake AI 8.5,

and this version will be in your account very soon.

First, a quick reminder of everything that was new in OneTake AI 8.4, code-named Dodoria,

which was the previous update that I showcased last time.

The first change is we now have voice mode,

so you can have a back-and-forth voice conversation with OneTake AI to edit your videos and create collateral from the video.

Hands-off voice editing

So I'll give an example.

When you are editing a project with OneTake AI, you can either type your instructions to make changes

or click to dictate a message

or even start and join voice mode.

If you join voice mode, then you can talk to OneTake AI,

which will make the changes that you requested,

and OneTake AI will reply back verbally so that you can keep editing in a very hands-off way when making your content.

Content Calendar

In OneTake AI 8.4, we also gave you access to the content calendar,

which enables you to see all of your published and scheduled content.

So this will be in the left-hand menu here.

We can see Content Calendar.

And if you open it, which I'm going to do in a new tab,

if we open the content calendar,

then in there.

You get to see the calendar of the content you published.

Published vs Scheduled

See July.

This is not from my main account,

so let me just use my main account so we can see it.

Let me go to Content Calendar.

And you can see the content that has been published directly from OneTake AI to your social media.

If it is blue, it means scheduled.

If it is yellow, it means published.

Publish to socials

So you can find the videos that you have already published to:

YouTube,

Facebook,

Instagram,

TikTok,

and LinkedIn directly from OneTake AI.

You can modify a scheduled post directly from the calendar without having to go back to the project.

And you can also click to add and schedule a new project from the calendar as well.

Shorts simplified

OneTake AI also enables you to publish shorts from your long videos in a much simpler way now.

I'm going to showcase an example of that.

If I have a project, and this is an interview that lasted forty minutes,

so OneTake AI generated a lot of shorts for me, about maybe more than twenty.

But before this version, you had to go into the individual page of each project in order to publish or export it.

Now, from the list directly, if you like these shorts,

you can click to download or click to publish directly from there

and say, "Well, I want this one to go on Instagram.

I want that one to go on Facebook,"

Connect social accounts

and set the date and time for them to be published there.

So it makes the work much faster and easier.

And then once OneTake AI has published something to your social media on your behalf,

it's easy to find the link to it afterwards.

So if you go to your account settings, which is in the left-hand menu, Settings, Social Media,

you can connect your social media accounts:

Facebook,

LinkedIn,

TikTok,

Account linking and fixes

Instagram,

YouTube.

You can click Connect Account,

and then afterwards, all of the content that you have scheduled or published can be found here.

And if something has been published, you can find the link and copy it directly from the calendar

so that if you start having many video projects, it makes it much easier for you to locate the work that has already been done and is already public.

And there were a couple of bug fixes as well in OneTake AI 8.4.

In the interview video style, some text was sometimes hidden.

This has been fixed.

Bug fixes and improvements

If you have a lifetime or AppSumo deal,

then in previous versions, you could not see the remaining balance of video editing minutes,

so this has been fixed.

And we had one user that had the situation where instead of a single sentence, you might want to use more than one piece of B-roll,

meaning illustration video, to add some movement and energy to the video.

And now it's easier to edit that in the editor.

And finally, custom color palettes were not being applied to new video uploads for some users,

and we have fixed that as well.

Faster exports

So this is everything that was new last time.

But today, I'm going to show you some really cool things that are happening in OneTake AI 8.5,

which you will get automatic access to on September 8.

So we are going to update everybody's account to the new version on September 8.

First of all, faster exports.

So we are releasing two new video styles that have much faster video exports.

What I mean by that is that once you have edited a video...

Let's take this one.

Share and publish

If you like the video once it's been edited and you want to be able to make use of it,

what can you do with it?

So you would hit share and publish either here or at the top here.

And your choices are either to use a share link

so that you can copy this link, give access to someone to this link.

They will have a page that hosts the video itself,

plus the searchable transcript of the video.

Or you can give them access to, just the video itself.

Embed on your site

You can embed the video into your own website by copying the code here,

and then you would- in your video editor just paste the code in there.

And now the video is inside of my website.

This is the main use.

The secondary use is you might want to take the video and then post it to your socials.

And so it used to be that in order to post the video to your socials,

you would need to download a file from OneTake to your computer

and then upload that file to YouTube or Facebook or Instagram and so on.

Direct social publishing

Now you don't need to do that anymore.

We can just click publish and share

and share it directly to YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, or Facebook.

and so if you have not connected the account yet, OneTake will prompt you

to connect them together.

Faster export downloads

If it is already connected, then you can just say, "Here's the title, here's the date, and I'm scheduling the post."

So the case where you need to download the actual video file is actually not that often,

but when that happens, in the current pipeline, it takes a little while for OneTake to generate the file that you can download.

But with the new video styles that we are releasing, it is going to be much faster.

So here in this section, you would say whether you want the video or the audio format or both,

and when you click on it, then it will start generating the file so that you can download it.

And this system is now much faster,

so you will see that the progress will go much faster than it used to be

in order to generate the file that you can then download to your computer.

Why we rebuilt exports

So this is a change that we had announced for a while,

and we apologize for a couple of people have encountered some difficulties generated download links in the last couple of weeks.

the metaphor that I used on the call with the French, attendees was basically at some point we decided we're going to...

this restaurant needs a new kitchen,

so we are building a new super modern kitchen on the side of the existing one.

And just at the time that we're building the new one,

we are having the old kitchen behave in all kinds of unexpected ways.

And now we have to redo the plumbing and the heat and the electricity of it.

Short-term friction, long-term gain

So it's a bit frustrating because on one side it means that we were right in starting to build the new kitchen,

which is the new export system.

And on the other hand, we have to spend time like fixing things on the old system,

which keeps breaking over the last couple of weeks.

So with this new system, exports are going to be much faster and reliable as well,

which is always enjoyable.

New video styles

And I mentioned it a couple of times, this version includes new video styles.

They are called influencer and punchline,

and they are two video styles that are optimized for social media content.

So this video that I was sharing a second ago is using one of these new styles.

They are styles that have very dynamic subtitles.

I am recording this video so you can see a before and after.

You see, OneTake is the world's first AI video editing agent.

It turns raw, terrible footage into a professional presentation like this one.

So, this is a new style that you can find by going to customize video, video style,

Punchline and Influencer

and here you have punchline, which is a horizontal style,

and influencer, which is a vertical style.

So punchline is more suited to YouTube videos,

and influencer will be more suited to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Facebook Reels.

Hi, I'm Sébastien Night, founder of OneTake AI.

I am recording this video so you can see a before and after.

You see, OneTake-

Okay, so these two are available and, they give you a lot of customization options.

They are also much, more...

Vertical safe zone

much faster in terms of exporting the video.

And one of the things that we noticed when our users were posting videos based on our existing vertical styles,

meaning Reel style, this one, and vertical, that one,

is that for certain platforms they were not ideal.

Sometimes the subtitles would overlap the controls on the Instagram app on some phones

or the controls of TikTok on some mobile phones.

And so we built the influencer style so that it fits all of the content inside of what is called the safe zone of the video

so that it is much more legible and impactful on social media than the previous styles that we offered for vertical videos.

You now also have new settings for branding customization.

Branding and customization

Specifically, you can see and change color and video style preferences for all videos.

I'm going to show you this.

See here, when I have a video in OneTake AI,

I can change the video style.

I can say that all of the future videos should use this style.

I can do the same with color palette and fonts

and say, well, I want to change the colors or customize it,

and I can say I want to always use the best colors,

or I want to always use these new specific colors, for instance.

Settings walkthrough

But we didn't have before one page where you could see all of these choices that you've made

so that you can change them afterwards.

So now, we do have this.

So if you go to settings, which is the left-hand menu, you go to branding.

In the branding screen, you now have a section called video customization,

and this is where you can:

add a logo that will persist across all future videos,

Set brand defaults

select a video style that will be used in all future videos,

select branding colors as well as the font,

and also how you want the player to look when you place it within your own website.

So all of this is available, directly from this screen as well.

Embedding and hosting

So all of this is inside of the settings page in the branding tab.

As I mentioned before, OneTake AI allows you to embed the videos into your own website,

and that is because OneTake AI hosts the videos for you, at no extra cost,

saving you the need to pay for a Vimeo or Wistia account or anything of that sort,

because OneTake AI is hosting the videos on your behalf.

OneTake AI hosting

This is particularly useful here because if you make changes to the video afterwards,

then automatically the video that is on your website will be using this updated version of the video.

So I showed a minute ago that I was able to embed the video into my website,

but I can also customize how I want it to display inside of the website.

So let's pick it as a horizontal video.

Player appearance controls

If I share and publish, it embeds the player.

I now have controls here to customize how I want it to look,

and I can change the background that will be shown behind the video.

I can change the control bar background.

I can change the control bar icon colors,

and also I can decide if I want my video to:

autoplay,

Player behavior options

to loop,

whether I want to show the full screen button or not,

the control bar or not,

or the thumbnail or not,

and I'm going to explain what that means.

Autoplay behavior

If you set your video to autoplay, you need to know that it's been like this for a decade on all internet browsers.

If the video autoplays, then it will play silently.

It will be muted.

This is because no internet browser wants to annoy people with a voice that starts playing as soon as they reach a page on a website.

So ever since about twenty-thirteen, they've all behaved like this.

So you need to know that if you set the video to autoplay...

Let's do it, and you copy the code, and I place this in my website.

Then now you can see that if I load the page, the video will play,

but it is muted.

Playback settings

I do need to click enable sound.

I am recording this video so you can see a before and after.

Otherwise, it will not.

It will be entirely silent.

So you need to know this.

This is important.

You can decide to loop the video,

which means that it comes back to the beginning when it has finished,

to show the full screen button or not.

Protect your buy button

So if you're making a marketing video that you will embed on a sales funnel,

sometimes you want to forbid people from putting the video in full screen

because you want them to still be able to see the buy button below the video, for instance.

And the same for the control bar.

On marketing videos, you might want to disable the control bar

so that people cannot skim forward just to see the price in the sales video

because they need to listen to the whole message before they can decide whether they want to buy or not.

Free hosting and embed code

And so you get the code here,

you can copy the code and use this code.

So OneTake AI hosts the videos for free for you if you didn't know,

and that's the easiest way to use the videos once they have been edited.

So you can choose everything here.

Music volume control

And then, bug fixes-

Sébastien?

Yes, Pritish?

One thing before we go ahead, just to make sure,

is to call out a feature that exists in the new player that was not in the old one,

which is the ability to also control the sound of the music.

Yes.

I don't know if I had music in this video too.

Viewer music control

Yes, I have.

So, something that had been requested is when people are watching the video that you have posted-

Hi.

they are able to control-

I'm Sébastien Night, founder of OneTake AI.

I am recording this video so you can see me before editing.

Also able to control the volume of the music.

Why background music helps

This has been requested because in some cases you might have an audience who does better without the music track of the video.

In general, just so you know, having a background music track increases the performance of your videos,

so it is good to turn it on.

OneTake AI will generate a track that fits the mood and rhythm of the video itself.

And so it's better to have it turned on by default.

But when people watch the video, they are able to control both the volume of the master and the volume of the music,

so they can listen to a version of the video without the background music track.

YouTube import fixes

Thanks for pointing that out, Pritish.

And then bug fixes,

we had a situation where when people were importing videos from YouTube,

sometimes YouTube adds a dubbed track to videos with their quite horrific AI voice.

And the problem is, when you import the video into another platform like OneTake AI,

YouTube doesn't always say, "Hey, here's...

What I'm giving you is not the real original one."

So now we have fixed it so that OneTake AI always grabs the original from YouTube,

so that when you want to edit and translate inside of OneTake AI, it works from the original,

which gives a much better quality result.

Visual layout bug fixes

There was a quick bug in some scene layouts where images were truncated.

When you added images in the video, they would be truncated on the sides.

this has been fixed.

And specifically in the interview video style, which is used for podcast interviews,

there was a slight black line at the top of the video of the speakers for a few days.

This has been fixed as well.

Roadmap highlights

So we've had lots of good news and lots of progress across the last few sessions of OneTake AI.

When I'm showcasing the roadmap,

we have shipped and made available to you voice mode to be able to have a conversation with OneTake AI in editing the videos.

You now have access to the publishing calendar,

which was requested during one of the live sessions, the Real Time with OneTake AI,

so that you can see all of your scheduled content in one place.

We have shipped new video styles optimized for social media

and making the video exports much faster.

Influencer and Punchline styles

So one thing to understand here is that if you export videos that use the new styles,

which are called, as I mentioned, Influencer and Punchline.

So these are the two styles here, the two new ones.

So if you use these two, which have all of these dynamic social media-friendly subtitles,

they are the ones that will be the fastest to export as well and to publish on social media.

So they will be our current best recommendation.

And over the next few updates in OneTake AI,

we will upgrade the existing video styles as well so that they are also faster.

Upcoming productivity features

And then soon you'll have the ability to:

organize projects into folders,

track video analytics,

edit in almost real time via voice,

and have OneTake AI import content from Zoom and Dropbox for you.

And then the next thing that I'm excited to showcase to you is OneTake AI showing just the key elements of what you say instead of everything word for word.

I'll explain that when necessary.

And the ability for OneTake AI to export video in multiple formats simultaneously.

OneTake AI 8.5 launch

We actually have a patent pending in this,

so I'll explain it once we get there very soon.

So all in all, we have a lot of really cool things coming to you in OneTake AI eight point five.

So as a quick reminder, you get access to it on September eight, twenty twenty-six,

so in a few days.

And you don't have anything to do to get access to it.

It will be automatically an upgrade to your existing OneTake AI account.

So, the main info here is the new video styles,

Paid traffic training

and it's gonna be really cool.

So, in other good news, I will be sending you, via email, some really helpful information that we got from a paid traffic expert called Damien Plutino,

who explained, in a short training, how to take advantage of the new Meta, which means Facebook and Instagram ads system called Andromeda.

He did a very detailed explanation, specific to OneTake AI customers,

and we are having this translated with OneTake AI and posted to you,

and I'll be sending it to you very soon via email,

to keep helping you grow your businesses with video,

because that's the goal with OneTake AI.

See you next session

So thanks for attending this session of the Real Time with OneTake AI.

I'll see you very soon to showcase the new stuff in OneTake AI eight point six,

and I'll talk to you soon.

Bye-bye.
