What's New in Slate

You can upload and publish Intro and Outro sequences in more aspect ratios: - 9:16 Vertical - 1:1 Square - 16:9 Landscape - 4:5 Portrait

Templates make editing visuall complex content on the go a breeze. And now it just got, uh, brezier with several important updates. Swappable Layers: PSD templates with swappable layers make it easy to make dynamic edits to your templates by swapping out logos, graphics or any visual with a tap. Unlocked Layers: Template layers can be unlocked making it possible to move and resize layers in templates.

You're probably thinking "C'mon Slate, undo is *barely* a feature." But you'd be suprised just how convincing we can be through the use of graphics and clever word-play. Discover the magic that is Undo™ When you make a mistake or change your mind about a design decision, hit Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z and revert to your previous edit. That's right, unlike life and fashion in the 80's, in Slate no mistake is irreversible; no error of judgement, irredemable. Just Ctrl+Z to go back in time and fix any mistake. Just one step back? No. Five? You're lowballing. Undo in Slate is Limitless, theoretically speaking. Now to the not so good news. There are many hundreds of potentially undoable things in Slate, so if you may notice something is not, uh, "undoing" – let us know and we'll be sure to add it.

Finally you can leverage the title and logo video sequences that your video teams have created in Slate. With Intros and Outros you can maintain consistency across your video Social content. Use Intro's as title screens and Outro's for animated logos, credits or calls-to-action. Many of our customers have been looking forward to putting Intro's and Outro's to use for Content Sponsorships – to ensure partnership content is always to spec and to brief. Like all assets in Slate Intro's and Outro's can be managed from Brandhub, assigned to Collections and used for content creation on both iOS and Web.

Timeline on iOS continues to get better with support for images. Now creators can include images and video to their posts, or create video content using only images. Images added to the timeline behave like video clips. You can change the duration of the image clip and use it in conjucntion with other Slate asset types like filters, sound and backgrounds
