v1.71 is a design capabilities release. Animations arrive on iOS, completing motion design across every platform. The web editor gets free layout mode. Variable fonts land across all platforms.
Let's dive in!
Add Animations to Your iOS Video Editor
Add dynamic motion to your text and design elements with CE.SDK for iOS. Our Animations for design blocks (images, shapes, stickers) come with a comprehensive library. This release also ships with a sleek UI.
Comprehensive Animation Library
Access a full suite of in, out, and loop animations—mirroring the capabilities of our animation for Web and Android.

Design Multi-Format Scenes with Mixed Page Sizes
In your web editor, every page in a scene can now have its own dimensions. If enabled, the resize panel automatically adapts to your selection. Resize one page or all pages at once.
For your product, this means: users can design across multiple formats in a single session. Social post, banner, side by side.
One Font File, Every Weight: Variable Font Support
Our engine now supports variable fonts! A single font file can represent multiple weight and style variants, eliminating the need to load separate files for each.
For your app this means: leaner asset loading, more typographic flexibility, and better brand consistency for users working with modern type systems.
Improvements
Stay Focused on a Simplified Video Timeline
The web video timeline now focuses on the active track by default, hiding other tracks to reduce visual noise. Users can still access everything, but the default view keeps attention on what they're actually editing.
Full Changelog
All performance improvements, breaking changes, and fixes are in the v1.71.0 Changelog.
Thank you for building with IMG.LY.
