Compared to before

Until last month even Ray3 only took rough direction, leaving precise shot changes to editing software afterward.

What changed

Luma AI's new Ray3.2 video model places up to 16 keyframes per clip for precise motion and framing control, now available via API.

Why it matters

Video producers get less post-hoc editing, though it barely matters if you only make short social clips.

How to do it

With the Notion desktop app installed, Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+J instantly opens Notion AI from inside any other app.

Why it helps

You can check a question the moment it comes up without switching back to Notion. It is one shortcut, so it adds no real friction.

GitHub CopilotGitHub Copilot
How to do it

GitHub Copilot CLI v1.0.61's `/worktree` (alias `/move`) creates a new git worktree and switches into it in one command.

Why it helps

No more manually cd-ing after creating a worktree. The more you branch, the more this saves.

Shift-click moves songs in bulk

How to do it

In Suno, hold Shift and click to multi-select songs, then right-click to move them between workspaces all at once.

Why it helps

No more dragging tracks one by one. Especially handy when you are reorganizing a project.

@-reference narrows the working scope

Claude CodeClaude Code
How to do it

In Claude Code, referencing a file or directory with @filename.py or @src/classes/ constrains the agent's work to that target.

Why it helps

No need to describe the path every time — it just looks at that file. Saves more time on bigger repos.

/ELI5 explains it like you are five

ChatGPTChatGPT
How to do it

In ChatGPT, start a prompt with "/ELI5: [topic]" and it breaks that topic down to a five-year-old's level.

Why it helps

Good as a draft before explaining something tricky to someone else. Feels thin if you actually wanted an expert-level answer.
