Virtual and blurred backgrounds for video recordings
The challenge Users can already record footage without virtual or blurred backgrounds, but having background options would make it easier to create cleaner and more polished recordings in situations where the recording environment is distracting, messy, or not ideal. Tools like Microsoft Teams and Zoom have made these kinds of background options familiar to many users, so adding similar functionality would improve the recording experience and provide more flexibility. Our approach Enable users to activate or deactivate background effects while recording. This should support both: Virtual backgrounds using an image uploaded by the user Light blurred backgrounds that softly blur everything behind the person Anyone recording footage, including guest users, should be able to choose whether to use a blurred or virtual background during recording. After a recording is completed, Project Admins should also be able to apply a blurred background to footage if needed, for example when a guest user recorded without one and the background is distracting. Expected impact Cleaner and more professional-looking recordings when needed More flexibility for users recording in imperfect environments Less need to re-record guest footage because of distracting backgrounds More control for Project Admins when preparing or reviewing footage A recording experience that better matches user expectations from tools like Microsoft Teams and Zoom
Manual background music volume control
The challenge Mozaik currently handles background music volume fully automatically, including side-chaining. This means the background music volume is lowered when speech is audible in the main video track and increased again when no one is speaking. This automatic leveling behavior is still desired. However, users sometimes need more control over the general background music level. For example, tutorial videos often need quieter background music so the spoken explanation stays clearly understandable, while social media videos or energetic brand videos may benefit from louder music. Our approach Enable users to manually adjust the base volume of the background music in their Mozaik video while keeping the existing automated leveling and side-chaining during speech. Users should be able to make the music generally louder or quieter depending on the video type, without losing the automatic volume reduction when voice is present. Expected impact More creative control over the final video sound mix Better fit for different video formats, such as tutorials, social media clips, and high-energy videos Continued benefit from automatic speech-aware music leveling
Manual positioning for non-fullscreen video graphics
The challenge Users can currently swap lower thirds, including moving them between fixed positions such as bottom left and bottom right. However, these positions are still predefined and fixed. When lower thirds, logo graphics, or other non-fullscreen graphics collide with important visuals in the video or with captions, users do not have enough control to adjust the placement. This request is not about fullscreen graphics, but about graphics that only cover part of the video frame, such as lower thirds or logos. Our approach Allow users to manually reposition specific non-fullscreen graphics within the video canvas/frame when needed. Users should be able to move graphics slightly up or down, and ideally drag and drop them to another suitable position on the canvas instead of being limited to fixed presets. Expected impact More flexibility when graphics overlap with captions or important video content Better control over lower thirds, logos, and similar non-fullscreen overlays Fewer cases where users need to change the video, captions, or graphic choice just to avoid visual collisions A more flexible editing workflow while keeping existing fixed left/right position options available
Choose your video output quality instead of always Full HD
The challenge Right now every finished video is rendered in Full HD (1080p), regardless of how high the quality of your source footage was. If you record or upload material in a higher resolution, that extra quality isn't carried through to the export — the final video is effectively brought down to Full HD. Teams that work to a higher production standard, or that need a crisper result for large screens or client delivery, currently have no way to keep or choose a higher output quality. Our approach Let's let you choose the output quality of your videos instead of always rendering to a fixed Full HD. You'd be able to select a higher quality level — beyond 1080p — for your renderings and exports whenever you need it, so the finished video better reflects the quality of the footage you started with. Expected impact Export your videos in higher quality than Full HD when your footage supports it Keep more of your original footage quality in the finished video Match the output to your production standard, whether for large screens or client delivery
Cancel a video render that's already running
The challenge When you start a render, there's currently no way to stop it once it's running. If you kick off a render by mistake — for example sending a long video (say a full hour) into rendering that you don't actually need — you have to let it finish anyway. There's no cancel option, so you're stuck waiting on a result you'll just discard, and the render keeps consuming processing capacity the whole time. Our approach Let's add a cancel option for a render that's already in progress, so you can stop it at any point without having to work around it (for example by deleting scenes from the project). One click stops the render cleanly. Expected impact Stop a render you started by mistake instead of waiting for it to finish Avoid producing and cleaning up video versions you don't need Save processing capacity when a render is no longer wanted
Collect files from guests with a simple upload link
The challenge Today, getting footage into Mozaik from someone outside your team means going through the guest journey, which is tied to a specific project and its scene structure — guests upload against predefined scenes and recordings. There's no simple way to just hand someone a link and let them drop in any files, in any number and format, without first setting up a project. That makes it harder to collect raw material from colleagues, freelancers, or partners when you don't yet have a structured project to receive it. Our approach Let's add a simple upload link — much like a cloud "share link" — that lets guests upload a virtually unlimited number of files of different types (video, image, audio, and more) with no project or scene structure required. Everything uploaded through the link lands directly in a folder in your Mozaik cloud, ready for you or a Mozaik automation to pick up and work with. Expected impact Collect files from anyone with a single link, with no project setup required Accept many files of different types in one place, without a fixed structure Have all uploads land straight in your Mozaik cloud, ready to edit or automate
Teleprompter
The challenge When recording on camera, presenters struggle to remember a full script and keep eye contact with the lens at the same time. Looking down at notes or away from the camera breaks the connection with the viewer, and longer scripted pieces often need several takes. Our approach Add a built-in teleprompter that scrolls the script on screen, positioned near the camera, so presenters can read naturally while still looking into the lens. Users paste in their script and set a comfortable scroll speed for recording. Expected impact Natural eye contact maintained even on long, scripted videos Fewer retakes and faster recording More confident, professional delivery without memorizing the script
Preset which camera is used for recording in a template
The challenge Today, every new recording defaults to the inside camera, so anyone who needs the outside camera has to switch it by hand — once for every recording. For a single video that can mean re-switching the camera on every clip. This is hardest when recording is rolled out to less technical contributors — for example staff capturing B-roll out in the field or at an event. Every manual setting is one more thing they can get wrong, and admins can't guarantee the right camera is used. Our approach Let admins define, per template, which camera (inside or outside) is used for recording. Once it is set on the template, that choice is preset for everyone who records from it — contributors never see the decision and cannot pick the wrong camera. Expected impact No more switching the camera by hand on every recording The correct, consistent camera for every clip made from a template Easier rollout of recording to non-technical contributors, with fewer mistakes Less rework fixing videos recorded with the wrong camera
Automatically correct color and exposure on every recording
The challenge Today a fixed color and saturation setting is applied to every recording, but real footage is shot under very different lighting. The same setting looks too dark on one clip and too bright on the next, and it can leave a visible color cast such as a red tint. Fixing this by hand on every single video is slow and gives inconsistent results. Our approach Introduce an agent that analyzes each uploaded recording and automatically applies the right color and exposure correction for that specific clip — balancing brightness and neutralizing color casts like a red tint — instead of relying on one fixed setting or manual retouching per video. Expected impact Consistent color and brightness across recordings shot in different lighting No more manual color and exposure retouching on every clip Better-looking videos with less effort, even when the original footage isn't perfectly lit
Position each subtitle individually on your video
The challenge Today subtitles move together as a group — when you reposition them, they all shift to the same spot. That doesn't work when different parts of a video need their subtitles in different places, for example to avoid covering a speaker, an on-screen graphic, or a lower third that changes from scene to scene. Teams creating longer, multi-scene videos want each subtitle to sit where it fits best. Our approach Let's make subtitle positioning work per subtitle clip instead of only globally. You'd be able to select an individual subtitle segment and move it up, down, or to another spot on the canvas, while the rest keep their own positions. Expected impact Place each subtitle exactly where it reads best, scene by scene Keep subtitles clear of speakers, graphics, and lower thirds More polished, professional-looking videos without manual workarounds

See your video creation usage and remaining quota
The challenge On plans with a limited number of video creations per billing period, there's no way inside Mozaik to see how many videos you've already created or how many creations you have left. Teams often only find out they've reached their monthly or yearly limit when a new creation is unexpectedly blocked, which makes it hard to plan production ahead of time. Our approach Introduce a clear usage overview in the app that shows how many videos you've created in the current billing period, alongside how many creations remain against your monthly and yearly quota. Expected impact See at a glance how many videos you've created in the current billing period. Always know how many creations are left before you reach your monthly or yearly limit. Plan and schedule your video production without running into surprise limit blocks.
Build your own brand kit elements yourself
The challenge Today, your brand kit — including elements like lower thirds — is built and maintained for you by our video team, usually during onboarding. If you want a whole new brand kit, or even just a single new element like a lower third, you have to request it and wait for us to build it. You can't create or adjust those brand elements yourself, so you depend on us for every change. Our approach Let's give you the ability to build your own brand kit elements directly in Mozaik — from individual elements like a lower third, up to (over time) assembling entire brand kits yourself. As a first step, we'd at least like to let you create and edit single brand kit elements on your own, so you're no longer blocked waiting on our team. Expected impact Create and adjust brand kit elements like lower thirds yourself, without waiting on our team Faster turnaround whenever your branding needs to change More independence and control over how your brand looks across your videos
Multiple graphics per scene
The challenge Within a scene, the web app currently lets users place only one graphic at a time. Customers building layered scene designs — for example a logo together with a lower-third, or several images and overlays in the same shot — have to split that content across additional scenes to fit every element on screen. This makes richer layouts slow to build and harder to maintain, and forces a workaround for something users expect to do inside a single scene. Our approach Allow users to add and arrange more than one graphic within a single scene, so multiple graphic layers — logos, lower-thirds, images, overlays — can be combined and positioned together without creating extra scenes. Expected impact Richer, more flexible scene layouts built in one place Fewer workarounds and less scene-splitting just to show multiple elements Faster production of branded, multi-element videos
Choose real transitions between your scenes
The challenge Right now, moving from one scene to the next is limited to your brand kit's built-in transitions or a hard cut. If you want a softer or more dynamic scene change — like a wipe — there's no way to control how that change looks. For many videos this makes the flow feel abrupt and leaves little room for a polished, personal style. Our approach We want to introduce a set of real scene transitions you can choose from and apply between your scenes, such as wipes and similar effects, alongside the existing branded transitions and hard cut. You'd pick the transition that fits each scene change and preview it before rendering. Expected impact More control over how your videos flow from scene to scene. Smoother, more professional-looking scene changes beyond hard cuts. Creative variety to match your video's style and brand.

See at a glance which projects already have recordings
The challenge When you run a campaign, each guest link can spin up its own project, so your project overview fills up with lots of projects — but from that overview there's no way to tell which ones already have recordings and which are still empty. A project nobody has filmed yet looks exactly like one that's ready to edit. To find out where each project stands, you have to open and check them one by one, which gets slow when you have many campaign submissions. Our approach Let's surface each project's status directly in the project overview — a clear indicator of whether a project already contains recordings, and ideally how far along it is (for example, how many scenes already have recordings, shown as x/y). Expected impact Tell at a glance which projects already have recordings and which are still empty. Spot the projects that are ready to edit without opening each one. Stay on top of progress across many campaign submissions from a single overview.
Automatically fit text box duration to your video length
The challenge When you add text boxes to a video, they sometimes stay on screen longer than the underlying video clip — the white text box keeps showing even after the video has already ended. This happens because text boxes have a minimum display time, so on a short clip the text box can linger past the end of the footage. Today the only way to fix it is to manually shorten each affected text box on the timeline, which is fiddly and easy to overlook. Our approach Let's have Mozaik's AI editing assistant automatically adjust the duration of text boxes so they fit the length of the video instead of staying on screen after the footage ends. You'd still be able to fine-tune the timing manually on the timeline whenever you want. Expected impact Text boxes match your video instead of lingering after it ends No more manually trimming each text box on the timeline Cleaner, more polished videos straight out of the automatic edit
Download multiple recordings at once
The challenge On the Footage page you can only download recordings one at a time. You can already multi-select clips to move or delete them, but there is no way to download the whole selection in one go — so pulling several clips means repeating the same download step over and over, which is slow when you need many files. Our approach Add a download action for multi-selected clips on the Footage page. When you select multiple recordings, a single download button lets you export all of them at once instead of one at a time. Expected impact Download several recordings in a single action Less time spent repeating downloads when you need multiple clips A consistent multi-select experience — move, delete, and now download

AI voiceovers and voice cloning
The challenge Users want a faster and more flexible way to add narrated audio tracks to their Mozaik video projects without needing to record voiceovers manually or use external text-to-speech tools. While a separate feedback item already covers adding general voiceover tracks to video projects — including recording a voiceover directly in Mozaik or uploading an existing audio file — this request focuses specifically on AI-generated voiceovers and voice cloning. Related feedback item: https://feedback.mozaik-app.com/p/add-voiceover-tracks-to-video-projects Our approach Enable users to generate AI voiceovers directly inside the Mozaik video editor using modern text-to-speech technology. Users should be able to enter a script, generate a voiceover audio track, and add that generated audio directly to their video project. This should support two main AI voice workflows: 1. Select from existing AI voices: Users should be able to choose from a library of AI voices and select a matching voice based on the use case, tone, language, target audience, or type of video they are creating. 2. Clone their own voice: Users should be able to clone their own voice and add it to the voice library of their Mozaik account, so they can generate future voiceovers using their own reusable AI voice clone. The generated voiceover should behave like a normal audio track inside the editor, so users can place it in the video timeline and use it as narration for tutorials, explainer videos, social media clips, and other narrated formats. Expected impact • Faster creation of narrated videos without external recording or TTS tools • Easier production of tutorials, explainers, and social media clips • More flexibility through AI voice selection by use case, tone, language, or video type • Stronger personalization through account-specific voice clones • A more complete voiceover workflow when combined with the existing general voiceover-track request
Editor Undo and Redo
The challenge Users can currently undo some clip changes through version history, but they do not have familiar undo and redo controls for recent editor actions. This can slow down editing and make experimentation feel less flexible. Our approach Let’s explore classical undo and redo actions in the Mozaik Editor for both projects and templates, with keyboard shortcuts like Command+Z / Ctrl+Z and clear buttons in the editor UI. Expected impact Faster recovery from small editing mistakes A more familiar editing experience More confidence when trying changes in projects and templates Less reliance on version history for recent actions
Add zoom effects to your video and image clips
The challenge Today there's no way to add a zoom effect to a clip in the editor. Whether you want a quick social-media punch-in to add energy to a talking-head moment, or a slow Ken Burns-style zoom to bring a still image to life, you can't do it inside Mozaik — the option isn't there for either video clips or image asset clips. That makes it harder to create the dynamic, movement-driven look that performs well on social media. Our approach Let's let you add zoom effects to any clip in your project — both video clips and image asset clips — with configuration options so you can control the look. For example, choose how the zoom behaves (such as a slow zoom or a fast zoom) to match the pace and style of your video. Expected impact Add energy and movement to your videos with punch-in and Ken Burns-style zooms Apply zoom effects to both video clips and image assets Control the feel of each zoom with options like slow or fast
Edit functionality for existing campaigns
The challenge Once a campaign is created in Mozaik, there is currently no way to modify it. Users who need to change any campaign property are forced to create a new campaign — which generates a new public invite link, invalidating any links already shared with external contributors. The properties users most commonly need to update are: Campaign name — without a custom name, the campaign overview displays "Untitled campaign", making it difficult to navigate between multiple campaigns Video template — which defines what invited contributors see and are asked to record Consent link/URL — which controls whether contributors must complete a data privacy step before recording Our approach Add an "Edit campaign" option that allows users to update a campaign's core metadata after creation — name, connected video template, and consent URL — without affecting the campaign's public invite link or invalidating existing contributor invitations. Expected impact Stable invite links even after campaign configuration changes Cleaner campaign overview with meaningful, editable names Fewer duplicate campaigns cluttering the workspace Greater flexibility to iterate on campaign setup without starting from scratch
Animated subtitle and caption styles for social media videos
The challenge Mozaik currently supports more classical subtitle styles that are well suited for corporate branding guidelines and formal video requirements. However, more and more videos are created for social media channels where users expect dynamic, animated caption styles similar to Instagram and TikTok. Examples include captions where words fade in word by word, specific words are highlighted as they are spoken, or subtitles use more expressive animated behavior to match short-form social video conventions. Our approach Add new animated subtitle and caption styles that better match the expectations of social media users. These styles should support more dynamic caption behavior while still fitting into Mozaik’s subtitle editing workflow. Expected impact Better support for Instagram-, TikTok-, and short-form social-video workflows More engaging subtitles and captions for videos intended for social platforms Less need to use external tools to create animated or highlighted captions A broader range of subtitle styles beyond classical corporate subtitle formats
Unified team member overview across all account types
The challenge Teams currently have no single place to see all the accounts active in their workspace. The user management experience is fragmented: Guest accounts are only visible in the context of the specific project they're connected to — there's no way to see all guests across the team at once Pending invitations are not surfaced clearly, making it hard to track who has been invited but hasn't joined yet There's no visibility into guest invitation limits — admins can't easily tell how many guest slots remain on their subscription Our approach Let's build a unified team member overview that gives admins a consolidated view of all accounts in their workspace — Admins, Members, and Guests — in one place. This should include pending invitations and remaining guest invitation capacity from their subscription. Expected impact Clearer picture of who has access to the team at any given time Faster identification of pending invitations that haven't been accepted Better subscription management with visible guest slot usage and limits Reduced confusion caused by guest accounts only being visible at the project level
Move clips between the base track and B-roll tracks
The challenge When editing a multi-track project, clips stay locked to the track they were first placed on. There's no way to move part of a recording from the base (main) track up into a B-roll track, or to bring a B-roll clip back down to the base track. That makes it hard to reorganize footage across tracks once it's laid down. Our approach Let users drag a clip from one track to another in both directions, base to B-roll and B-roll to base, so footage can be rearranged across tracks without re-importing or rebuilding the timeline. Expected impact Faster restructuring of videos without rebuilding the timeline More flexible use of B-roll tracks during editing Less rework when footage needs to move between tracks
Improve transcript-based editing accuracy and reliability
The challenge Mozaik already supports transcript-based video editing: users can select specific words or sections in the transcript of their video footage and delete them, and the editor automatically removes the corresponding segment from the video timeline. However, the current transcript editor output is not accurate or reliable enough in some editing workflows: Cuts are often too aggressive: When users delete specific words or sections from a statement, the resulting edit is frequently too tightly attached to the selected words. Users usually still need to fine-tune the cut manually before it is usable. Longer videos can become inaccurate or async: With larger video assets ranging from multiple minutes to several hours, the transcript editor can become slightly out of sync with the actual video timeline, making transcript-based edits less reliable. Our approach Improve the precision and reliability of transcript-based editing so that deleting words or sections from the transcript creates more accurate timeline cuts by default, with better handling of longer video assets and fewer cases where users need to manually fine-tune the resulting edit. Expected impact Faster text-based video editing with fewer manual corrections More reliable transcript-to-timeline synchronization, especially for longer assets Cleaner default cuts when removing individual words, phrases, or sections Higher confidence in using transcript editing as a primary editing workflow
Enable additional cropping for scenes with existing crop effects
The challenge Users currently cannot use the crop functionality in the Mozaik video editor for scenes that already have a crop effect applied, such as split-screen or interview layout scenes. In these cases, cropping is disabled because the scene already uses an animated crop effect. This limits users’ ability to fine-tune footage placement in layouts where precise framing is especially important. Our approach Allow users to apply additional manual cropping even when a scene already contains an existing or animated crop effect. Users should be able to further adjust the framing of their footage in split-screen, interview, and similar layout scenes without being blocked by the existing crop behavior. Expected impact More flexibility when editing split-screen, interview, and other layout-based scenes Better control over footage framing even when animated crop effects are already present Fewer cases where users need workarounds to achieve the desired composition A more consistent cropping experience across different scene types
Improve asset search by searching transcripts, content, and footage notes
The challenge Users can currently search assets by file name or creator name. This is useful in some cases, but users often do not remember who created a specific clip or what the file was called — especially when clips have generic or random names like “image123”. Our approach Improve the existing asset search functionality so users can find assets based on additional database-backed metadata, especially: Spoken content from video clips, using the transcript Notes added to footage items Other searchable content or context associated with an asset This would allow users to search for details they remember about a clip instead of needing to remember the file name or creator. Example If a user remembers that they created clips at a trade fair in Hamburg, and the protagonists in the video talk about Hamburg, searching for “Hamburg” should return those clips because the transcript contains that word. Expected outcome Users can rediscover relevant footage faster and more reliably by searching across meaningful asset context such as transcripts, content, and notes — not just file names and creator names.
