CE.SDK v1.50 delivers a major performance boost for HDR video editing on the web, and sets the stage for a wave of powerful workflow improvements coming your way. Let’s dive in!

## What’s new

### Speed Up HDR Video Editing on The Web

We've dramatically accelerated HDR-to-SDR video conversion in CE.SDK for Web. While HDR videos previously required lengthy processing, especially for 4K content. Now, they convert to SDR with minimal delay, letting users start editing their footage faster than ever before.

## Coming Soon

**Simplify Designing with Crop-Presets**

We’re introducing crop presets for pages and blocks (images or videos), making it easy for users to resize content with a single click. Whether it’s popular sizes for social posts or slides, these presets help keep designs consistent and fast to produce. Rolling out on _Web_ first, with iOS and Android support to follow shortly after.

**Bring Your Content to Life on Android**

Animation support is coming to CE.SDK for Android! Users will soon be able to animate text and design elements directly in their editor, making motion design accessible without switching tools.

**Boost Engagement with Video Captions on the Web**

Subtitles aren’t just accessibility tools. They’re essential for muted autoplay and global reach. Our upcoming Captions feature for Web will let users:

- Manually create subtitles or upload .SRT files
- Adjust timing and style to fit brand aesthetics
- Burn captions directly into videos

**A Better Way to Build: New Docs on the Horizon**

![](https://blog.img.ly/2025/05/docs-preview.jpg)

We’re rebuilding our documentation to offer a faster, clearer developer experience. With better structure, improved search, and AI-friendly formatting, the new docs will make it easier to integrate CE.SDK into any product, whether you're a solo dev or scaling a full team workflow.
