V31: MDX Preview, Ken Burns Video Pan, and PDF Markup Tools

Preview MDX. Pan your video like a documentary. Mark up PDFs faster. V31 is here.

- Vysakh Sreenivasan

Thirty-one releases. Thirty-one consecutive Fridays. V31 adds an MDX file preview so you can read, search, and edit MDX documents the same way you already do with markdown. The video editor gains an animated horizontal pan -- the Ken Burns effect -- so a still or clip can drift smoothly across the frame, with a replay button and horizontal keyframe chips to fine-tune the motion. PDF text-markup annotation now has its own standalone buttons, so highlighting and marking up a document is a single click instead of a buried menu. The Word editor lets you set table cell border colors with a clean round-trip back to DOCX. Data tables now show a total row count and hide pagination when everything fits on one page. Activity cards show clearer per-phase progress labels. We also refined markdown reading typography and colors for a more comfortable read. On top of that: a fix for missing code syntax highlighting in production builds, video editor playback that now resumes correctly after swapping a clip's source, an image editor that no longer flags false unsaved changes, and clipboard cut that holds its intent when you paste on Mac and Linux.

What's New in V31

MDX File Preview

MDX files now get a proper preview with edit, search, and view controls -- the same comfortable reading and editing experience you already have for markdown. Read your component-driven docs, search inside them, and switch to edit mode without leaving Diwadi.

Ken Burns Video Pan

Add a smooth animated horizontal pan to a video clip -- the classic Ken Burns drift that brings stills and static shots to life. A replay button lets you preview the motion instantly, and horizontal keyframe chips let you fine-tune exactly where the pan starts and ends.

PDF Markup Tools

Text-markup annotation in PDFs now has its own standalone buttons, so highlighting and marking up a document is one click instead of a hunt through a menu. Faster to reach, faster to use -- and everything stays on your device.

Smarter Data Tables

Data tables now show a total row count at a glance, and pagination controls hide automatically when everything fits on a single page. Table cell border colors round-trip cleanly to DOCX in the Word editor, too.
