— Project Settings 2.0
— Editor — Project Settings

Our new Project Settings menu is a functional and stylish way to control settings from a single sidebar.

Along with the Project menu 2.0, it is a big next step toward making all relevant tools easily accessible.

 

— Mailchimp double opt-in enabled
— Editor — Form widget

You can now enable double opt-in with our Mailchimp integration (part of the Form widget).

Double opt-in is a requirement for new subscribers to prove their consent to subscribe. It protects your mailing list from addresses with typos, as well as malevolent injections from third-party emails.

To enable Double Opt-in on Readymag, enable it in your
Mailchimp settings.

Product updates

— Shots on Creator plan
— Editor — Shots widget

From now on, users with a Creator plan may also use the
Shots widget—it is no longer restricted to just Professional plan subscribers.

However, with the Creator plan certain restrictions apply: only 300-frame videos can be uploaded.

Users with a Professional plan will now be able to upload video files to the Shots widget via direct link.

The quality of Shots has also been improved for all paid plans without any changes to project size.

 

— File upload in Forms
— Editor — Form widget

You can now set up the Form widget to accept direct file uploads. This feature is available for Professional plan users.

Connect your Google or Dropbox account and allow Readymag to use their API to upload files directly to your cloud storage.

Otherwise, you can have files automatically sent to an email address connected with your Readymag account.

Learn more in our
Help section.

Collaboration updated
— Profile, Editor

Our collaboration feature has been updated.

You can now add collaborators from the ‘Shared by me’ filter in your Profile. Specify the collaborator you’d like to add, then look for the project you’d like to add them to.

The list of known collaborators will now display their email address on hover, allowing you to easily distinguish between users with similar names but different email addresses.

You can also add collaborators straight from the project editor—use the button in the top-right corner, near your avatar picture. The new functionality described above also applies here.

Project menu + Widget bar
— Editor

We have redesigned the Project menu and the Widget bar.

The menu now allows users to switch between pages without leaving the editor space. It provides access to page addresses, page orders and settings.

With the help of the menu you can move multiple pages at once. Use Shift to select a range or Alt/Option to pick only the pages you need.

It’s now possible to embed pages within one another, creating links like https://readymag.com/readymag/education/usecases.

Simply grab a page with your cursor in the Project menu and drop it onto another page.

The new menu also allows to publish projects directly from Preview mode.

As for the widget bar, you’ll see new icons and a lighter, more translucent look.

Shots
— Editor — Widgets

The new Shots widget allows you to create a sequence of shots from video. Your video will only play On Scroll or On Hover, giving users manual control over playback.

We support the majority of popular formats. Size is limited to 30Mb. If your clip is too long, the widget will use the first 600 frames, or about twenty seconds of 30fps video.

Use Shots to create user-controlled video experiences and bring your interactive animations to a new level.

The widget is available with our Professional plan.
