This page lists what changed in stepvideo for the people who use it, newest first and grouped by week: the recorder, the editor, voices and languages, the written guide, exports and your account. It is updated every week, and the latest change listed is from 24 October 2026.
No credit card needed — 5 AI video minutes, free for 10 days.
Recordings made on screens that are not widescreen, such as many laptops and older monitors, are now sized the way they appear in the video, so they get the same click zooms as widescreen recordings.
A new page walks through what happens to one recording, from the click zooms and sped-up dead time to the voiceover, captions, translation, blur and the written guide, with the real before and after video.
See it: A How it works pageNew accounts open on a welcome card that shows the trial minutes in your workspace, with a button that starts your first recording.
The Captions switch in the editor decides whether captions are burned into the exported video. Your choice, including captions at the top of the frame, carries over to every translation.
Spanish now has narrators with a Mexican accent alongside the voices with a Spain accent, and new Spanish projects start with a Latin American voice. Videos already narrated in Spanish keep the voice they have.

Portrait recordings, such as phone screen captures you upload, get automatic click zooms sized to the picture, and switching one to a vertical video widens those zooms so they stay sharp. Zooms you set yourself stay as they are.
The blog has a standard operating procedure template to download in Word or PDF, blank or filled in as an example, next to new articles on what an SOP is and real SOP examples.

A recording that has not become a video yet is listed on Home and in the Library, with Make the video or Discard, and we email you a link to it. Minutes are used only if you make the video.
If Chrome keeps your microphone out of a recording, the video is still made, with narration written from your clicks, and the editor shows how to allow the microphone next time.
When a page sits blank while it loads, that stretch plays faster in the finished video, while a click on a real button during the wait still plays at normal speed.
Recording a whole Chrome window, not just one tab, gets the same zoom on each click, so form fields and buttons stay readable in the video.
When you rewrite a step's script, its new voiceover is made a moment after you stop typing, so it reads the sentence you finished, with its captions timed to it.
A help button on your dashboard and across the website opens a live chat answered by a person on our team. If you have left by the time we reply, the answer arrives by email.
See it: Live chat with our teamZoomed screenshots in the written guide show more of the page around the control you clicked, and keep it fully in view near the edges of the screen.
Large videos you upload from your computer go up in smaller parts, so big recordings arrive complete and ready to edit.
The homepage features are grouped into Video and Documentation, and each card shows its feature in motion, from click zooms to word-by-word captions and blur.
See it: A feature tour on the homepageEach step's picture in the written guide zooms in on the control the step names, in the Document tab and on share pages, so the action is easy to see.
Record without speaking, or with no sound at all, and every click is still narrated in the video's own language, with a short note on what the click does.
The pricing page shows the free trial and each plan side by side with a monthly and yearly switch, and the site's questions moved to an FAQ page of their own.
See it: Pricing and questions, each on its own pageOnce a version is exported, the editor offers Download instead of exporting again. A translation downloads with its language in the file name, and SRT and WebVTT subtitle files come with every download.
After you upgrade, videos you exported on the trial can be exported again without the watermark from the editor, Home or the Library, at no extra cost.
Intro and outro cards set Japanese, Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Hebrew and accented titles to fit the frame, and a generated closing card speaks the project's language.
Translated narration keeps product and company names exactly as written, and addresses the viewer the same way the original script does.
The Download button on the Document tab saves your guide as a ready-made PDF, with no print dialog, and translated guides download as PDFs in their own language.
Guide sections get headings that describe the task, a task that spans several screens stays in one section, and a translated guide is translated throughout, headings included.
The voice you pick maps to a narrator who speaks your video's language, English has a default voice suited to tutorials, and voice pickers show the name of the narrator viewers will hear.
See it: Narrators matched to your video's languageMinutes are taken once, when a video is generated, so exporting it again or regenerating it uses nothing extra.
Each language has its own card with its voice, captions, guide and subtitles. Pick a language in the top bar to watch that version, read its guide and export it.
See it: A Languages panel in the editorEach video gets its own intro and outro design, from layout and fonts to the entrance animation and background, and you can choose how the cards hand over to the walkthrough.
Captions and title cards in scripts such as Bangla, Hindi and Arabic are drawn with full letter shaping, in a typeface matched to each script and sized to sit with the rest of the video.
Click the background to select it, then replace, crop or delete it. Crop lets you drag and zoom an image so the part you want shows, and the export matches what you see.
