You can now edit Indic-language captions on a regular QWERTY keyboard. Type words the way they sound, and they appear in the native script as you type. Transliteration works today for captions in 10 Indic scripts. Text overlays get it early next week.

---

Each timeline row is now labeled with its type, so it's easier to find your way around. Hover over a row to show or hide it or to lock it. This works together with the magnetic timeline.

---

The editor capsule now shows how many credits you have left, and you can top up without leaving your project. If you'd rather see a clock, you can switch the view from credits to clock.

We released a demo of Srijika, the world's first text-to-Indic-font generator. The research paper was one of the top trending papers on Hugging Face this month.

Our mission is to help people who create content in languages other than English. Srijika is one step toward building for creators who have been underserved.

At the start of this quarter we had paying creators in 2 countries. As the quarter ends today, we have them in 43 countries. Thank you for being part of this. We're just getting started.

We moved out of beta in July.

Over the past few months, we've been focused on making Loopdesk more stable, reliable, and enjoyable to use. We're now shipping with a much stronger foundation and a growing set of tools designed to make video creation faster and more intuitive.

Watch the 45-second teaser to see what Loopdesk can do.

Zoom. Pan. Ken Burns. All within the same clip.

You can now create multiple motion segments inside a single video or image clip, giving you precise control over how the frame moves throughout the shot.

Start with a slow zoom in. Pan across the subject. Pull back. Add a Ken Burns effect. Then transition into another movement - all within the same clip.

This gives you much more control over pacing, emphasis, and visual storytelling without having to split your clip into multiple pieces.

We're also building beyond the editor.

Loopdesk has open sourced Lipika , one of our early models for Indic font recognition , along with Lipika-FontCLIP .

We're sharing these models publicly because we believe useful AI infrastructure should be accessible to developers and researchers building for Indic languages.

Explore the models:
