Summary

We’ve rolled out a few updates to HootVid that give you more clarity, flexibility, and account-level control. Here’s what’s new:

Variant Button Tooltips

Hovering over a Variant button will now display a tooltip when one has been added.

  • These tooltips are custom and managed by the Hoot product team to give users actionable insights into platform functionality and optimization.

    • Mainly intended to explain how a variant affects the video output

  • Example:
    Green Screen“Smartphone will cover the right side of video asset.”

Have ideas for other helpful tooltips? Let us know and we’ll add them.


Custom Line Breaks in Source Sheets

You can now manually control line breaks in Source Sheets.

  • Press Enter to create a new line

  • Custom line breaks override the built-in text wrapping logic

  • This allows for more precise text layout and formatting in videos

Perfect for headlines, captions, and intentional text spacing.


Hoot Internal Changes - Billing Support

Hoot Admins, we’ve added support for monthly minimums at the account level.

  • This change enables more efficient billing across accounts and new advertiser setups.
