Marketing Toolkit
What changed, and when
The 1610 Marketing Toolkit is free and open source. Here is every change, newest first.
- Gave the toolkit its own home page on the 1610 website, with this changelog right under it.
- Added an SEO engineer (the new seo-kit plugin) that checks your website every week, ranks what to fix, and makes the fixes as a reviewable change.
- Added tracking for whether AI assistants name and cite your business, with one OpenRouter key or a key per engine.
- Added weekly site snapshots, speed tests that take the middle of three runs, and search engine pings after a change goes live.
- Added a way to share a toolkit improvement back with everyone, stripped of anything about your business, or to turn that question off for good.
- Added this changelog, also shown as a timeline with a suggestion box on the 1610 website.
- Fixed a crash in the DaVinci Resolve color grading step that stopped reel builds.
- Added per camera color settings and an optional house color preset for graded reels.
- Fixed caption timing so sentence tails stay with their cue and old captions stop being reused.
- Made same-source video joins snap together cleanly instead of leaving gaps or doubled audio.
- Made footage and photo indexing read every plugged-in drive and keep entries when one is unplugged.
- Made talking-head cuts open on the speaker, on camera and moving.
- Added an option to skip color grading entirely on phone footage.
- Improved post scheduling with collaborators, cover frames, and thumbnail handling.
- Added simple reel commands plus editor and checker helpers so cutting a reel takes a few steps (version 4.2.0).
- Fixed grading so phone clips keep their natural look instead of coming out grey or neon.
- Fixed loudness and face detection, and made parallel builds queue instead of colliding.
- Added a choice between DaVinci Resolve and a simpler editing route for reels, with help choosing.
- Added shared editing house rules and quality gates that apply to every reel.
- Made captions bigger by default and repeat the opening hook once on purpose.
- Made the toolkit install as a ready-made plugin for Claude Code and Claude Desktop (version 4.0.0).
- Added color-graded reels in DaVinci Resolve with look previews, house captions, and punch-ins (version 4.1.0).
- Added a newsletter writing pipeline with templates and a built-in copy checker.
- Made transcription run on any machine and added a filter keeping finished videos out of the index.
- Added the full video and content pipeline: reel cutting, quality checks, B-roll search, and blog drafting.
- Made example data generic so the public copy shares no private names, paths, or codes.
- Made every session start by loading the business knowledge pack so advice stays on brand.
- Moved reference detail out of the main instructions so agent tools read the full rules reliably.
- Added automatic posting stats from your social accounts and a tidier layout for shoot folders.
- Released the toolkit publicly: run your marketing in Claude Code with plain text files and spreadsheets.
