This release brings instant animation previews, new playback-speed control for clips, and smoother audio handling on mobile. All aimed at making motion design and media playback more intuitive for your users and more reliable for your app.
Let’s dive in!
Preview Your Animations Instantly
CE.SDK now plays a live preview whenever you add or update an animation. Your users can immediately see how their animations behave without pressing “play,” making it faster to fine-tune motion and create polished results.
For your app, that means smoother editing workflows, less trial and error, and a more professional user experience out of the box.

Fine-Tune Playback Speed for Clips
Our CE.SDK engine now supports playback speed control for videos, GIFs, and audio. Developers can programmatically adjust speed using setPlaybackSpeed and getPlaybackSpeed.
→ Explore the BlockAPI documentation.
Preview: Adjust Video Speed in the Editor
Within our next releases, your users will be able to fine-tune video speed right inside the editor, using an intuitive user interface for the Web.
This will give creators more control over pacing and style, from slow-motion moments to fast-cut edits. Let users craft more dynamic, platform-ready content for social media without leaving your app.
Improvements
Smarter Audio Handling Across Platforms
On iOS and Android, the audio device is now lazy-initialized. This means, it will activate only when audio starts playing. This reduces energy use and improves reliability after pauses or process restarts.
