What’s new
Version 1.3.13 · Updated November 3, 2026
New sticker backgrounds and effects, including an iPhone frame for App Store screenshots and video previews. In case there are any fellow iOS developers out there. Fixed an issue where the sticker renderer converted 10-bit Rec. 2020 HLG video to 8-bit BGRA in sRGB. It now preserves HDR precision and requests frames in the export’s color space. Animate captions with the new Bracket Reveal effect. Pinch to zoom anywhere on a feed video while it plays.
