List of changes

New "Photo" tab on camera screen

A new Photo tab appears at the bottom of the camera screen as the third tab. It allows users to capture a photo and directly launch the Photo Editor SDK, simplifying the photo-taking flow.

<aside> ❗

This tab is available only when both the Photo Editor SDK and the Video Editor SDK are integrated

<aside> ❗

The previous "Photo" tab (which captured a photo and converted it to a video) is now renamed to Story.

Auto-Start Captions Processing

Captions processing now begins automatically when the user opens the video editor screen. The SDK extracts audio from the video, transcribes it to text, and adds the text as text effects overlaying the video. This eliminates the need for users to manually navigate to the Text menu and select Add Captions, streamlining the caption creation workflow.

Alignment Guidelines for Text and Sticker Effects

Vertical and horizontal guidelines now appear when adding text or sticker effects to a video. These visual guides indicate when an effect is positioned close to the left, top, right, or bottom edge of the video frame, ensuring the effect remains fully within visible bounds when the video is played.

Default English localization

Starting with this release, both the Video Editor SDK and Photo Editor SDK include built‑in English (base) localization. If your app does not use any other languages, you no longer need to manage Banuba’s localization files separately.
