Magic Hour Changelog: 2026

AI Image Editor now adds number labels to uploaded images, making it easier to refer to specific images in your prompt.

Continue Editing Video Outputs

You can now continue working from video outputs with new chaining options:

• Add Subtitles opens the Auto Subtitle Generator with your video prepopulated. Free users are taken to https://magichour.ai/create/auto-subtitle-generator.

• Edit Video takes you directly to the AI Video Editor.

AI Avatar Generator Is Now Live

AI Avatar Generator is now available at https://magichour.ai/create/ai-avatar-generator. Create an avatar by choosing a character and voice, generating the character in a new setting, and writing a script for the avatar to perform.

Preset characters and voices are linked, and the generator works with characters that include voices. Your avatar projects and history are managed separately from Talking Photo.

You can now try Character Animate for free directly from the Motion Control page. Switch between Character Animate and Character Replace to create new motion-controlled videos with the workflow you already know.

New Magic Hour MCP Setup Page

We added a public Magic Hour MCP landing and setup page with connection instructions, client-specific configuration, example prompts, supported capabilities, and links to the technical documentation and GitHub repository.

Visit https://magichour.ai/mcp to learn how to connect Magic Hour to a supported AI agent.

You can now translate uploaded videos directly from the Create page. Choose a target language from 54 supported languages, optionally trim the video, and receive a lip-synced translated MP4.

Videos can be up to 60 processed seconds, with usage charged at 48 credits per processed second. The source language is detected automatically.

LTX-2.3 is now available as a model option for UGC generation. All users can generate with LTX-2.3, while free users have access to 480p resolution.

You can now create AI UGC ads for free using an image and a script. Upload an image to use as-is, add your script, and generate a video up to 3 seconds long with LTX 2.3 at 480p.

Free users can generate one UGC ad per day.

You can now upload audio when using LTX 2.3 for text-to-video and image-to-video. Add a start frame to use the image-to-video flow, or generate from text without one; audio is used to guide the resulting video.

Control Voice Speed Across Audio Tools

Voice Generator, Voice Cloner, and Voice Changer now include a Voice Speed control from 0.75x to 1.30x, with 1.00x as the default and 0.01x increments. The same control is also available for text-to-speech in Talking Photo and Lip Sync.

Speed changes preserve the original pitch, so you can fine-tune delivery without making voices sound higher or lower.

Use References with End Frames in Image-to-Video

Image-to-video generation now supports combining reference images with an end frame, giving you more control over both the visual guidance and how the video finishes.

Add Characters to More Creation Modes

You can now select saved Characters in FSV, FSP, CR, BS, and TP. When adding an image in these modes, choose Add Character to open your saved Characters and use their primary image.

Kling 2.6 is now available for text-to-video and image-to-video generation. It replaces Kling 2.5 as the lower-cost Kling option, and API requests for Kling 2.5 are routed to Kling 2.6.

You can now enhance photos, faces, and skin directly from the creation dashboard. Each tool includes three transformation strengths, giving you more control over the final look.

• Photo Enhancer

• Face Enhancer

• Skin Enhancer

Seedance 2.5 is now available for text-to-video, image-to-video, and reference-to-video generation. It delivers high-quality results with improved realism, detail, and motion at 24 FPS.

The model supports 480p and 720p output. Generation costs 288 credits per second at 480p and 576 credits per second at 720p.

Create AI Music Videos

You can now turn an audio track, optional reference images, and creative direction into a complete music video. Choose story mode or lip sync mode, with support for 9:16, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios.

Try it out now: Create an AI music video

Create a photorealistic AI influencer with a game-style character builder instead of writing a prompt. Select traits like character type, appearance, occupation, and accessories from the left panel, then generate the result in the center preview.
