CE.SDK v1.81 Release Notes

IMG.LY released CE.SDK v1.81, adding automatic, manual, and imported video captions to iOS and built-in video transitions to the Android editor timeline. The release also makes transitions more visible in the web editor inspector and adds new documentation pages covering plugin architecture, custom plugins, the import/export workflow, and variable fonts, plus `docs` and `explain` agent skills.

Video captions arrive on iOS. Android gets video transitions between clips. Video transitions are easier to find in the web editor, and smoother developer workflows arrive in our documentation across platforms. Let’s dive in Add Video Captions on iOS Generate captions automatically , add them manually , or import a caption file. Then style them with presets and controls for font, formatting, color, stroke, and rounded backgrounds. Customize the presets to match your users’ needs.
