Mago just leveled up again and so will your creative experience.

With the latest release, we’ve introduced a set of smart updates, UX polish, and powerful new controls designed to keep your workflow seamless and your renders on point. Whether you’re working on stylized music videos, animation tests, or longform video pieces, these changes are built to make your creative flow faster, clearer, and more controllable.

Here’s what’s new in your toolbox:

New Features & Creative Controls

‍Pose + Depth ControlNet Mode

A brand-new hybrid ControlNet mode that works great when pose tracking struggles with camera movement  or when depth is too limiting.

Flexibility = unlocked.

💰 Cheaper Long Renders

We’ve drastically improved how we handle long clips. There’s no longer a massive exponential rise in cost. Longer renders are now much more affordable.


🔥 Auto Prompt Suggestions

No more staring at a blank input. Mago now suggests prompts directly inside the render panel to help spark your creative direction.

Auto-prompt automatically generates a prompt using your reference image and your video

⚡ Render Time & Price Estimate

You’ll now see smarter, more accurate time and credit estimates before you render, no more surprises.

✅ New “Create Track” Button

It’s easier than ever to add tracks thanks to a clearer, more intuitive entry point.

UX Polish That Feels Good

✨ Dynamic Frame Reference Option

If your render is haunted by “ghosts” of the first frame (especially in longer clips), just tick this box. It’s a simple fix for frame carryover.

🖊 Copy Buttons

Prompts and image references can now be copied with one click. It’s a small thing that saves big time.

🧷 Helpful Tooltips in V3 Settings

Confused by what a control does? Hover and learn. Tooltips have been added to give instant, helpful descriptions without breaking your focus.

💙 Frame Range Slider Glow-Up

A small but satisfying one: the slider now has a fresh blue design and is easier to drag and control.

Bug Fixes

  • Video preview freezing? Gone.

  • Disappearing download button? Fixed.

  • Shift+D shortcut not working? Working again.
