Happy Sprint Release Day! đ
Weâre excited to share this weekâs release with you, which includes expanded C2PA content tracking, introduces live production data into Microsoft Copilot and Teams through a native agent, and adds separate AI Input and Output Positions for generative workflows.
We're always eager to hear your thoughts, so don't hesitate to share your feedback.
Kling 3 Updates
You can now specify which images are used for the first and last frames of AI-generated videos with Kling 3, giving you more control over video content. You can also specify âSeamless Loop,â which ensures videos can play on repeat without a noticeable transition. Seamless Loop is particularly helpful for 360Âș videos of tabletop images like bags and shoes.
To try First Frame / Last Frame and Seamless Loop, simply access the Image to Video tester from the Kling, Fal, and Creative Force AI connectors in Studio Settings.
Creative Force MCP is Now Available In Microsoft Copilot & Teams
You can now bring live Creative Force production data directly into your Microsoft 365 and Teams workflows through a native Copilot agent.
To get started, an admin in your organization creates a custom agent in Microsoft Copilot Studio, connects it to the Creative Force MCP server, and publishes it within your Microsoft tenant. Once live, everyone in your organization with a Creative Force account can use it, no installs, no extra setup on their end.
From there, users can ask questions in plain language and get live answers about jobs, tasks, assets, samples, workflows, studio scheduling, and more, all scoped to their existing Creative Force permissions.
Generative Production: Separate Capture and Final Selection Positions
The assets you capture for AI processing are often different from the assets you deliver, but until now, a single position list had to describe both. Generative production types can now support two separate position sets. Capture Positions define what the Capture step must deliver, while Final Positions continue to define your delivery requirements.
A new toggle on the style guide is available when Cloud Automation directly follows the Capture step, and the capture upload experience supports position mapping. Existing production types are unaffected â the toggle is off by default.
Generative Production: Updated Mapping for Triggered Production Types
Triggered production types now start with assets in the right positions, useful when sending assets to Cloud Automation immediately after triggering. When configuring a trigger in the Style Guide, users can map each target position to a source position and choose whether the first asset or all assets carry over, controlling exactly what assets the triggered Production Type receives.
Upon being triggered, assets land in their mapped positions, and the Capture task completes automatically when requirements are met.
Generative Production: Connector Tags in Style Guide
Source tags tell the AI connector which asset is which. Tags are set up at the connector level first. Dreem includes built-in tags for Front, Back, and Detail, and for custom connectors, you can define your own tags for each subfunction in the connector's settings.
Once tags exist on the connector, they may be assigned to generative positions in the Style Guide. Each position takes a single tag, and the same tag can be used on multiple positions. Captured assets carry their tag to Cloud Automation so they arrive to be read by the connected service.
Preserve Production Source when Applying Updates
Studios can now choose what happens to a productionâs source (Vendor Provided vs. Photo Production) when Style Guide updates are applied. A new setting in Studio Settings â General â VPI Settings has three options:
Keep the current assigned source
Re-assign sources using your Automated VPI Source Conditions
Reset all sources to Photo Production
When "Keep the current source" is selected, each production task keeps its source type, assigned vendor, and VPI source due date. By default, studios using VPI keep today's behavior (reset to Photo Production) and can change the setting at any time.
Expanded Support for C2PA AI Tracking
Last sprint, we introduced C2PA manifests - an industry standard for content provenance and authenticity - for assets edited or generated by AI in Creative Force. In this sprint, weâre expanding our coverage for C2PA to detect manifests on assets when theyâre brought into Creative Force.
Some third-party vendors may strip existing C2PA manifests from assets during Internal Post, External Post, or Cloud Automations, so this update ensures assets will have a comprehensive manifest at Asset Delivery. C2PA tracking can be enabled in Studio Settings > Workspaces > C2PA.
Azure Blob Storage
Creative Force now supports Azure Blob Storage as a data source, giving you more flexibility in how product data is delivered to the platform. To use Blob, ask your Customer Success Manager to add the connector to your studio. You can then enable the connector in Studio Settings > Connectors and set it up in Studio Settings > Data Sources.
Editorial Fullscreen Preselect Navigation Beyond Cached Images
Reviewing in Editorial Pre-Selection is now more seamless, as keyboard and arrow navigation no longer stop at the edge of the first loaded batch. Additional images load automatically as you move through the set, keeping you in your review flow from start to finish.
Support for Rich Text Paste in Text Area Fields
Weâve improved the pasting experience in Gammaâs Text Fields. Content copied from Google Docs, Word, or web pages is now automatically converted to the equivalent markdown formatting on paste, keeping headings, bold, italic, lists, and links intact. The updates can be found across a variety of text fields in Copywriting, Editorial E-comm Style Guides, and more.
Any formatting that cannot be mapped is handled by falling back to plain text without interrupting the paste.
Dreem Updates
In Dreem, we released Projects, which group your sessions under one Art Direction, so a whole campaign stays consistent. We also made the Aesthetics Library easier to browse.
You can now group your looks by category, open a full preview of any aesthetic in the Library and in Quick Render, and see the assets generated from each Virtual Model aesthetic, so it is faster to find and reuse the right look as your library grows.
Alongside this, generations are more consistent and reliable across the tools. You can retry only the shots that failed in a batch instead of losing the whole request, and delete unwanted generations right from the canvas or chat.
