Magic Hour Changelog: 2026
February 2026
Free Add Sound to Video (5s Preview)
We launched a free tool that generates audio for your uploaded video and merges it back into the clip. Upload a video and generation starts immediately so you can hear results fast.
You get 3 free generations per day, and each preview covers the first 5 seconds of your video. Output is the same video file with the newly generated audio track—no separate audio download required. The primary action is labeled “Add Sound to Video (5s)”.
Nano Banana 2 in AI Image Editor and Generator
Nano Banana 2 is now available in both the AI Image Editor and AI Image Generator. In the model selector, it appears with the description: “Fast, high-quality with strong prompt adherence and reliable text.”
Due to higher compute costs, Nano Banana 2 consumes 2x the credits of Nano Banana when selected.
New Video to Audio Tool
Turn any video into an audio track in the browser. We've added a simple, fast Video to Audio creator under the Audio section, using our familiar creation template—no subscription required.
Inputs:
Video
Length (trims video if shorter than the source)
Resolution
Prompt (optional)
Generation takes about ~60s for a 5s 576x576 video. Usage is billed at 1 credit per frame.

Named export for Client in Node SDK

const { Client } = require("magic-hour");
import { Client } from "magic-hour";Try it out now by upgrading to the latest version of the SDK.
