What's new
Recent improvements shipping on Popcorn.co.
- Phase 0
Live character saves, mobile video, branded exports, and more starter credits
- New
Characters save the moment you type
Names, descriptions, and knowledge links now appear in the character sidebar instantly — no more waiting for the end of a chat session to see your work persisted. Pasting a link into Knowledge shows it straight away while the agent fetches the title and summary in the background.
- New
Full-screen mobile video preview with swipe-up comments
Tapping a video on the community feed on your phone now opens a dedicated mobile view: swipe between videos, watch with sound, and pull up a bottom-sheet comments panel — dark- and light-mode friendly.
- New
Floating reaction rail on portrait movies
Like, dislike, comment, share, and remix are now one tap away — docked right next to the video, just like short-form platforms you already love.
- New
Redesigned logged-out sidebar
Clearer pitch, social proof, a live activity ticker, and a subtle shimmer on the Get Started CTA.
- New
More credits to start with
New accounts now begin with 400 credits, so you can explore characters, scripts, and scenes right out of the gate instead of hitting a paywall on your first experiment.
- Improved
Downloadable videos ship with a watermark and outro
Videos you download or share now come with a subtle brand watermark and a short outro card, so your work stays recognisable wherever it travels.
- Improved
Consistent looks for imported and global characters
Characters you pulled from the global library or uploaded from your own photos now get a proper reference sheet built for them — just like the ones generated from scratch — so their appearance stays locked across every shot.
- Improved
Bigger character hero image in Live Preview
The element chat sidebar now shows a 128px rounded card instead of a tight round avatar, so multi-angle character sheets stay readable at a glance.
- Improved
Steadier video processing under the hood
The pipeline that stitches, trims, and renders your movies has been hardened, so longer clips and complex edits are less likely to fail midway through.
- Improved
Theme-aware About, Terms, Privacy, Support, and What’s New
Every marketing and help page is now rendered natively, so fonts, colours, and backgrounds always match your light or dark theme.
- Improved
Login page restyled for Phase 0
New split layout with rotating quotes on the left and a clean sign-in card on the right.
- Fix
Mobile browsers no longer loop on the community feed
Mobile users are now redirected cleanly to the dedicated mobile video view instead of hitting repeated “A problem repeatedly occurred” reloads.
- Fix
Hidden movies actually stay hidden
Movies you hide from your profile no longer sneak back into browse and discovery lists.
- Fix
Clearer errors when publishing to a channel
When something goes wrong pushing an episode out to a channel, you now get a specific reason instead of a generic failure.
- Fix
Light-mode background glitches
Character cards and the portrait video column no longer ship dark stripes in light mode.
- Phase 0
Agent quality-of-life improvements
- New
Done chime on the agent page
A gentle three-note arpeggio plays when the Popcorn Agent finishes a long task, so you can look away and still know when it’s ready.
- Improved
Smarter profile navigation
Clicking a movie on your own profile opens the editor; clicking one on someone else’s profile opens the published page.
- Improved
SEO, sitemap, and robots
Marketing pages now ship with proper metadata, a sitemap, and clear crawling rules.
