What's New in Slate

With Presets you can use consistent styling across all your video captions. Once you've dialed in a look you like, hit save and the caption Preset will be available for your future projects. We've also introduced two new formatting improvements. Remove the punctuation in your captions with one click, for easier reading. You can also now keep captions visible during long periods of silence between phrases.

This quality of life update goes out to all our Template users who have struggled with missing fonts, incompatable fonts – or just wanted to use a font specifically for a Slate Template. Those days are over, because you can now replace fonts in your upladed PSD Templates.

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.
