ISSUE 007 · THIS WEEK
This edition tracks the week's changes affecting tool choice, production and distribution, with direct links to original sources.
Revenue grew more than 200% year over year as short-drama supply and marketing spend rose, while profit, customer mix and creator earnings remain separate questions.

The issue also follows agentic editing, local ComfyUI control, upscaling, 10-bit finishing and audio tools to map the production gaps being filled after generation.
