You can now use keyword search to find one of the hundreds of available branded templates you have access to with your Teams plan.

Brand color ideas generator

We released some improvements to the brand color ideas generator. Ideas will only generate with unique colors so you won’t see the same color being suggested for both the background and the primary text color. Your videos have never looked so good.

Vertical text alignment

You can now resize text boxes vertically as well as set the vertical text justification to top, middle, or bottom.

New templates for June

You now have two new template categories to choose from. There’s a new “Welcomes” category to welcome new team members. There’s also a new “Team Profiles” category to introduce key team members to others in your organization.
