Your library opens at once, however much is in it

Every video you had ever made was drawn on the page at the same time, so an account with a few hundred of them took whole seconds to answer a click. The library comes a page at a time now, and only the page in front of you loads its pictures. There are filters across the top for ready videos, drafts and ones that need another go, and a search that looks inside the script as well as the title.

A card with no picture yet says what it is waiting for

A draft, a stopped render and a video still being drawn all looked the same: one grey rectangle. Each says where it got to now, and carries the one button that moves it on, whether that is opening the storyboard or trying again.

The wallet is one place instead of three

Adding minutes at the top of the page used to scroll you to a different button further down. Buying now sits inside the balance itself. Beside it is how many minutes you have used per day over the period the figures actually cover, and under it your history reads like a statement, month by month, with the balance running down the side. Minutes that come back from a video you stopped say returned, because that is what happened to them.

It looks like a product and not a form

The surfaces, the shadows and the state labels were all falling back to the plainest version of themselves, so every panel came out flat whatever the theme said. Text also had three shades of grey that were very nearly one shade. Both are fixed, and the change is visible on every screen at once.

Also fixed

• Clicking your own avatar closed the menu that hovering had just opened.
• A button shrank to the width of its spinner while it was working.
• The search field ran off the side of a phone, and one filter did not fit its own row.
• Fields the browser filled in for you came back as a pale slab.
