### Video Generation <a href="#video-generation" id="video-generation"></a>

#### New backends & models <a href="#new-backends-and-models" id="new-backends-and-models"></a>

* **Runway Gen 4.5** added to the Simple Text + Image → Video node (5/10 second durations, 720p, text-to-video and image-to-video with seed support).

<figure><img src="/files/jQMz63dDHzOL2YgR2Ksu" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Kling Video 3.0 Pro** added to the Simple Text + Image → Video node (3–15 seconds, image-to-video with optional end frame and audio toggle).

<figure><img src="/files/oS2zX69d975IDo2Xo50H" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Sora 2 / Sora 2 Pro** added to the Text + Image → Video node alongside Veo and Grok.

<figure><img src="/files/CWPKkYV9QWA8UoJfYeCk" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Grok Imagine** video generation and editing support expanded across video nodes.

<figure><img src="/files/1UMPnPPfea64bLck2lK0" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### New video capabilities <a href="#new-video-capabilities" id="new-video-capabilities"></a>

* **Video Extend** node: extend existing videos using Veo, Grok, or Pixverse backends.

<figure><img src="/files/hPPyRQ2LchbUK973bnIu" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Video Edit** node: edit videos with Grok Imagine or Kling-based motion paths.

<figure><img src="/files/WD2WXbSDij1k6fE0Ufzu" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **End Image** input added to Seedance and Kling backends for image-to-video, enabling start-to-end frame control.

<figure><img src="/files/0vnDw0Jvpdw6IL38QLt6" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* Seedance resolution options expanded to 480p / 720p / 1080p.

<figure><img src="/files/SGyQS3Rvh3xOphQAbMIb" alt="" width="440"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Dynamic pricing for video <a href="#dynamic-pricing-for-video" id="dynamic-pricing-for-video"></a>

* Video nodes (Simple Text + Image → Video, Text + Image → Video, Video Extend, Video Edit) now use **dynamic pricing** — cost is calculated per run based on actual backend, duration, and resolution instead of a flat credit price.

<figure><img src="/files/jSdBAgFaUuZZRcvrsBuP" alt="" width="497"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* The node header in the graph shows **"dynamic (N credits hold)"** so you know the maximum reserved before a run, and **"last run: X"** after completion.

### 3D Generation <a href="#id-3d-generation" id="id-3d-generation"></a>

#### New backends & models <a href="#new-backends-and-models.1" id="new-backends-and-models.1"></a>

* **Tripo P1** and **Tripo P1 Multiview** added as new Image → 3D backends with dedicated pricing tiers.

<figure><img src="/files/yNpatyIzxI8cYUy9HoAo" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Upgrades & fixes <a href="#upgrades-and-fixes" id="upgrades-and-fixes"></a>

* **404-GEN** now always uses 2048 texture resolution (Standard quality override removed).

<figure><img src="/files/whOaVXqjLeFIRmGq0zk3" alt="" width="499"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Hitem3D** pricing tiers refined (default, pro, portrait).

<figure><img src="/files/1hYYucPC6RxutRels3pS" alt="" width="421"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Image → 3D (With Fallback)** node switched to dynamic pricing (100 credits hold).

<figure><img src="/files/29yyeOF1ldeLZ4DWhPSr" alt="" width="448"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

***

### Background Removal <a href="#background-removal" id="background-removal"></a>

* **Pixelcut** added as the new default Remove Background backend.

<figure><img src="/files/pm65v5bJJ71PD4HcMAX6" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

### Graph Editor & Node UX <a href="#graph-editor-and-node-ux" id="graph-editor-and-node-ux"></a>

#### Seed & cache behavior <a href="#seed-and-cache-behavior" id="seed-and-cache-behavior"></a>

* Nodes with a **randomizing seed** (seed = -1 / "Randomize") are now always treated as cache-disabled — the Run button stays active and a fresh random seed is generated each execution. Applies to both `seed` and `texture_seed` fields.

<figure><img src="/files/PQ2UiLSLQAZEKhrD3KoS" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Creation menu <a href="#creation-menu" id="creation-menu"></a>

* Node groups where **all children are access-restricted** (e.g. behind a role gate) now appear visually dimmed in the creation menu, while remaining navigable so users can see what's available.

#### PDF viewer <a href="#pdf-viewer" id="pdf-viewer"></a>

* PDF preview in the file viewer now scales to **80% of viewport** (80vw × 80vh) with proper max constraints, replacing the previous awkward sizing.

<figure><img src="/files/uCLDTQjMVnQ7Yt8aJ1Mk" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

#### Dynamic pricing display <a href="#dynamic-pricing-display" id="dynamic-pricing-display"></a>

* Nodes with dynamic pricing show the **credit hold amount** and **last run cost** directly on the node in the graph.
* Balance check uses the hold value for dynamic nodes to determine if a run is affordable.

***

### Help & Contact <a href="#help-and-contact" id="help-and-contact"></a>

* **Help** button in the user menu now links to the external documentation site (docs.atlas.design).

<figure><img src="/files/Y1HQNKBcn2pNCvdzOFmR" alt="" width="462"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

<figure><img src="/files/nNHxhabpPGIIwmNbVooL" alt="" width="563"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

* **Contact Us** option added to the user menu (opens email to <support@atlas.design>).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.atlas.design/atlas-ai-studio-overview/release-notes/release-0.18.0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
