September product update: 5 ways Viewst quietly gives you your time back

Designers don’t measure work in “features.” We measure it in fewer clicks, cleaner flows, and precious seconds shaved off a build. September was all about that: eliminating friction so you can move faster and think more like a creative, less like a production robot. From smarter previewing to timeline superpowers, here’s what shipped, and why it matters.

Turn video into shippable HTML5 (without the bloat)

Have a short video you love? Turn it into a lightweight, clickable HTML5 banner, keep the motion, add a trackable CTA, and publish responsive sizes without heavy files or slow loads. Translation: more storytelling, less wrestling with exports. Seconds to set up, minutes saved on every campaign.

Hover to swap ratios, instant context switching

Preview every auto-generated size just by hovering, then jump straight into editing that exact variant. No menu spelunking, no window pinball. It’s the fastest path from “How would this look as a 300×600?” to “Done.”

AI templates: skip the blank canvas moment

Type a prompt, pick a direction, tweak, ship. You’re not starting from zero or rebuilding structures you’ve built a hundred times. It’s small seconds shaved from each step that add up to real hours over a week of production.

Image quality preview, catch problems before handoff

No more fuzzy exports sneaking into QA. Viewst flags low-res or over-scaled assets directly on the canvas while you design, so you can fix issues early and ship confidently. Your future self (and your PM) will thank you.

Groups that still respect craft

Select related elements, move/scale/align them together, and still drop into a single element when the details matter. It’s the balance between flow and finesse that designers actually need.

Move multiple animations in one gesture

Nudge a whole sequence across the timeline without breaking sync. Adjusting complex flows goes from dozens of clicks to one intention, keeping you in concept mode, not spreadsheet mode.

Why these updates matter (and how they honor our three pillars)

• We don’t ship “features”; we ship ad value. Each change is designed to protect momentum - your ideas move from brain → canvas → shipped unit with less drag.

• We save minutes by shaving seconds. Hover-to-ratio, AI starts, timeline shifts - tiny accelerations multiplied across sizes, rounds, and campaigns. That’s real time back.

• September was packed; October will be electric. We shipped a lot in one month, and we’re just getting warmed up. Big things are coming in October. Stay close.
