Changelog

Get a price before you have a project: answer a few questions on the quote page, attach a script or storyboard, and a producer replies with a price range

No account needed. Films / series and commercials each get their own questions, and the quote arrives by email.

Accept a quote and turn it into your project in one click, with the brief already filled in and ready for private dispatch

Bidding, joining the waitlist and browsing creator pages no longer fail with "too many requests" during busy periods

After paying the deposit, the dispatch window now shows "Done" — nothing left to submit

Shots with multi-speaker dialogue no longer crash the storyboard page

Shared public project links now preview with the project own title and poster

Lip sync now works with audio you upload yourself

In Render's Dialogue & Lip Sync card, choose "Upload your own audio" to lip-sync a shot to your recording, or use it only as the shot's dialogue track (no credits charged). Lip sync is now priced by the seconds of video it produces, and the card shows the price for the shot before you run it; long shots cost more than before. Kling lip sync only accepts shots of 2–10 seconds.

Negative prompts now actually reach more video models

Previously only Veo received your negative prompt. Models that support it, such as Kling and Wan, now receive it; Seedance and Kling Omni turn it into a constraint sentence (it lowers the chance, not a guarantee); unsupported models show the field disabled with the reason. Pickup shots work the same way. Shot-list CSVs gain a "Negative Prompt" column for per-shot defaults.

Authorize the deposit as you submit a job, and see whether it went through

The dispatch dialog now takes you straight to Stripe to authorize the deposit. When you come back, the dialog shows whether the authorization is pending, succeeded, or unfinished. A job goes to review and gets listed only after the deposit hold succeeds.

Jobs whose deposit is still unauthorized after 30 days are withdrawn automatically, and you are notified

The project goes back to draft, you get an inbox message and an email, and you can dispatch it again at any time.

Artists can see delivery progress and payout status on the task page and in My Bids

Once delivery is finished, the task page stops offering uploads and keeps your submitted versions read-only.

Artists can add PayPal, Wise or bank transfer details in Payout Settings

If your bid is unlikely to be accepted, our team can send you a suggested price — by email and in-app, and shown on the project page

Deposit payment reminders are no longer sent twice

Admins can now see why a bid is not yet visible to the client, and how far off the price is

A new bell in the top right tells you when your bids, deliveries, reviews, payments and payouts move

Payments now lists your newest project first, and the hold notice says what is left before it goes public

After posting a public job, you go straight to authorising the deposit — no need to wait for a reminder email

Bid notification emails now match your inbox — every bid an email mentions is one you can find there

Uploading a bid demo that has sound but no picture is now flagged right away, instead of sitting on "watermark in progress"

Opening a project shared with you from the Tasks page now brings it to the top and highlights it

The home page no longer flashes an empty project list while it loads

Shared projects show “Can edit / View only” in your language; the search box no longer shows two clear buttons or gets covered by project cards

After you hire an artist, review each delivered version right from your inbox — and get an email when a new one lands

Long dialogs now scroll on smaller screens, and the Dispatch button always stays in view

Dispatch now defaults to public bidding; in-house production is paused for new projects (coming soon) — projects already underway continue as usual

When Seedance video generation is temporarily unavailable upstream, you now see a clear message instead of a raw provider error

Script analysis, script chat and video quality checks now run on a newer AI model

Generating a marketing video script works again

Export a cut, then have AI watch it and compose a score for it

Press play on the timeline and actually hear your voiceover and music

The length shown on the timeline now matches the film you export

Submitting a bid or sending an invite no longer hangs

A deposit autopay run that stops early now resumes on its own

A refund the bank sends back is now caught and handed to a human

After a first-cut walkaway, the ledger's margin reflects what was actually charged

The marketplace now opens straight away without signing in — no more loading spinner

Get an email the moment someone bids on your project

Every marketplace page now has a navigation bar — return to your project after paying, and reach your inbox without digging up an email

www.leylinepro.ai now lands you on leylinepro.ai — no more being signed out on a site you are already signed in to

Reach the marketplace from the top bar, not just from a link someone sent you

www and non-www no longer keep two separate sign-ins

Marketplace pages now offer a way to sign in instead of spinning forever, and say so when a pop-up blocker stops it

When the image model returns nothing, we now retry automatically — at no extra credit cost

The creator marketplace is open: post a project for creators to bid on, or invite one creator privately with a price

Dubbing uses each character's own voice and reads only the spoken line

Lip-sync results now save as a new clip version on the shot

Saving multi-megabyte images no longer fails

The AI-drafted dispatch brief now sees your project's shots

You can now pay for the $199 writing-cohort track on the page, instead of leaving your email and waiting

Every cohort we run is now on the homepage — dates, price, and whether it is open

The Microdrama Writing Cohort has its own page — sign up for the free 24 September workshop

New AI Commercials page — three sessions from October, register your interest now

Links to Leyline now unfurl with a preview card instead of a blank space

The cohort waitlist no longer names one specific cohort — leave your email and we write when the next one opens

Projects with only background music now export the music AND the per-shot dialogue

These exports used to keep the music but drop every dialogue line, with a notice asking you to convert the music into a timeline clip first. That step is gone.

The dialogue you generate for each shot now actually reaches your exported video

Until now those lines only played back in the editor and were dropped on export, with nothing to tell you. Re-export an existing project to get them.

Mixing several audio tracks no longer makes the whole video quieter

Loudness no longer drops as you add tracks, and the pumping that came with it is gone.

The "generate audio" switch is now only offered for models that really produce sound

Some models advertised audio but delivered silent clips. The switch is now driven by per-model evidence instead of an assumption about the vendor.

Downloading a finished video no longer fails part-way, and there's a smaller resumable copy
