Why this matters
The three board mattes stage a whole list: one panel per item on a single board, and every time the video reaches an item the camera opens on the full board and pushes into that item's panel before handing the frame to its shot. Auto now reads the narration first. A ranking told as number ten, number nine and so on becomes a Countdown board numbered the way the voice counts; a run of Day 1, Day 2 or Step 1, Step 2 becomes a Day counter that prints your narration's own word and gives the last panel a line such as Fight Day; a First, Second, Third walkthrough becomes a Story board. Each appearance sits on the line where its item is announced, so the numeral on screen always matches the one being said, and a plain Auto run leaves videos without a list alone. The push now moves straight into its panel instead of swinging past the neighbours, lands with time to spare on short lines, plays its whoosh, and reads correctly in vertical videos. You can change how many items a board has from its card at any time.
What changed
When your narration counts through a list, Auto now lays a Countdown board, Day counter or Story board by itself and lands every push on the moment that item is announced.
