# OTOY Studio v3.40.0 changelog

Published September 9, 2026.

H3 Max Director now offers higher quality 1080p output, 15-minute session lengths, and enhanced media inputs that support audio tracks and end frames. Live directions in the Director can now carry audio and one-shot target frames.

## 1080p Director Sessions

The H3 Max Director now supports 1080p resolution output, billed at twice the standard rate. Session lengths have been increased from 2 minutes to a maximum of 15 minutes. The interface displays your account's session allowance, calculated from your available credit balance, giving you a clear view of how long your session can run before it starts.

## Director Media Inputs

You can now provide media directly to the Director at session start. The node accepts a Start Frame, an End Frame for the first chunk, and a Target Audio soundtrack. Audio bitrate can be configured manually or left on Auto. The system validates that media URLs are accessible to the provider before starting a session to prevent failed attempts.

## Live Directions with Media

Directions sent during a Director session can now include audio attachments and target end frames alongside text prompts. Use the "Apply at next chunk" switch to insert directions immediately or append them to the existing queue. The transcript and captions track audio applications and rejections separately from text prompts. An audio behavior setting controls whether a track replaces the current audio or queues to play next.

## Quality of life

- Clips in the Compositor timeline now render at their true proportional width, even when very short.
- Narrow timeline clips display a single, bidirectional trim handle for easier manipulation.
- Dragging from a node's input handle to empty canvas and selecting "Upload File" or "Import from Library" now correctly wires the new Import node.
- The Generate button in the Compositor is no longer blocked by unrelated active jobs.
