Latest Updates

Two new state-of-the-art AI models are now available on Melies.

GPT Image 1.5

OpenAI's latest image generation model, ranked #1 on all major image leaderboards. Exceptional prompt adherence, photorealism, and text rendering. Supports image editing and transparent backgrounds.

Grok Imagine Video

xAI's new video generation model, ranked #1 on multiple video leaderboards. Generates cinematic video with native audio in under 17 seconds. Supports text-to-video, image-to-video, and video-to-video editing with 7 aspect ratio options.

This update brings full mobile support, a new tutorial system, a critical pricing fix, and SEO improvements across all tool pages.

Mobile UX

Melies now works properly on mobile devices with a responsive layout, touch gestures, and a new navigation menu.

• Hamburger menu for mobile header navigation
• Gallery toolbar optimized for small screens
• Touch gestures for swipe navigation and pinch-to-zoom on image galleries
• Responsive layouts across all tool pages

Default Video Model Fix

Free users are now defaulted to LTX 2 Pro (50 credits) instead of Veo 3.1 (400+ credits). Previously, free users with 50 credits couldn't generate a single video with the default model. This change unblocks the entire video funnel for new signups.

Tutorial System

• New tutorial card component added to 15 landing pages, linking to relevant guides and walkthroughs
• Consistent Character tutorial published with step-by-step guide and YouTube video embed
• YouTube video player added to bottom CTA sections with play button overlay

SEO Optimization

• Front-loaded "Free" in tool page titles for voice generator, storyboard, lip sync, and image enhancer. All competitors lead with "Free" and Bing data showed 5,500+ impressions with near-zero clicks when "Free" was buried at the end.
• Merged voice pages into a single /ai-voice-generator page (301 redirect from /ai-voiceover-generator). Two pages were cannibalizing each other for the same keywords.
• Added Veo credits FAQ to pricing documentation for search queries about Veo pricing.

Melies 2.0 is a complete rewrite with four powerful standalone AI tools, new models, and a rebuilt editor.
