Creator Tools — What's New in the Last 4 Weeks

It's been a busy month for the Creator Tools. Three brand-new tools joined the lineup, the multi-track Studio Mixer learned how to record, and the Credits Roll Generator got a top-to-bottom overhaul. Here's everything worth knowing, tool by tool.

🎚️ Studio Mixer — now a real recording studio

The browser multi-track editor got the biggest update of them all. It's no longer just for cutting and arranging — you can now record straight into it.

• Live recording — pick any input device, monitor yourself while you play, and record directly onto a track.
• Automatic track arming and a cleaner recording settings panel.
• Latency compensation — dial in a manual offset so recorded takes line up perfectly with the rest of your project.
• Live recording visualization — the timeline grows and follows the playhead as you record.
• Per-track pan — place each track anywhere in the stereo field.
• Ducking — automatically lower the music under a voice-over, now controlled from a single global setting.
• Clip normalization — even out loudness on any clip for cleaner playback.
• Master volume control for the whole mix.
• Marquee multi-select — drag a box to grab several clips at once and edit them together.
• Drag-and-drop ghost preview — see exactly where a clip will land before you drop it.
• Middle-mouse drag-to-pan across the timeline, smoother zoom with sensible limits, better scrolling and time display.
• Clip nudging for frame-accurate positioning.
• Smarter autosave that only writes what actually changed, plus faster waveform rendering on trimmed clips.

🎬 Credits Roll Generator — a full overhaul

The tool for building scrolling film credits was rebuilt around a much more flexible playback engine and a friendlier editor.

• Two playback modes — classic vertical scroll or a slide/fade presentation, switchable at any time.
• Slide easing options, including a new "drift" easing with an adjustable drift distance.
• Focus-pull blur during fade transitions, with adjustable strength, for a cinematic depth effect.
• Configurable cross-fade / transition durations.
• Undo / redo with snapshot-based history.
• Welcome modal on launch — start fresh or reload a saved project.
• Categorized section types with thumbnail previews in a new centered insert dialog.
• Click-to-focus on any section card in the preview, plus hover highlighting and mouse-wheel scrubbing to move through the roll.
• Sections now start collapsed to keep the editor compact.
• Global UI scaling so the interface and fonts stay comfortable on any screen.
• Simplified transport: one Play/Pause toggle plus a dedicated Stop button.

📐 Room Planner — brand new

A new 2D floor-plan tool for sketching out spaces.

• Draw rooms, then place and manage objects (doors, windows, furniture) and export the result.
• Smart-guide snapping aligns objects to each other automatically.
• Vertex selection and snapping for precise wall drawing.
• Real wall thickness rendered from outward wall normals and polygon offsetting.
• Automatic region detection recognizes enclosed rooms.

🖼️ Image Converter & Compressor — brand new

Convert and compress images entirely in your browser — nothing gets uploaded.

• Batch processing with support for multiple formats (e.g. PNG → JPG / WebP).
• Watermark feature with adjustable settings, and a toggle to turn it on or off.

📝 Markdown Editor — brand new

A clean, distraction-free Markdown workspace.

• Live side-by-side preview powered by the Toast UI editor.
• Export to PDF and HTML, with dedicated print styles for a clean light-theme printout.
• Quick open, copy, and clear actions.

🎨 Image & Design Studio — precision alignment

The layer-based design tool got much easier to lay out cleanly.

• Smart guides and magnetic snapping for aligning layers to each other and to the canvas.
• Anchored resizing for image and text layers, so a fixed corner or edge stays put while you scale.
• Guide-line feedback while resizing.
• The whole interface is now available in every supported language.

🎧 3D Audio Maker — refinements

• Cleaner, faster keyframe marker selection in the automation view.
• A gentle pulsing animation now draws your eye to the file-upload area when you first arrive.

🎞️ Video & Audio Converter — now multilingual

The in-browser format converter is now fully translated across all supported languages.

Also worth noting

• Every Creator Tool is now in the sitemap, so the tools are far easier to find via search engines.
• The Creator Tools overview got quick card actions to launch a tool or jump to its details.

That's the roundup. As always, every tool runs right in your browser, free to use — go make something.
