Building a video editor SDK for React Native, powered by Nitro ⚡️ Trim, layer, add effects, and export with native performance — using your own UI. Here’s a first look 🎬 #ReactNative #nitro

Video Editor SDK update 🧱 Layers (new) • Multiple video layers: PiP, split • iOS: export, preview, live edits • Android: export, preview, audio • Masks + chroma key on iOS 🎬 Transitions • iOS and Android: Metal / GL, live preview • Frame-accurate flip, no playhead jump • HDR clips back to back, stable export 🎧 Audio • Master true-peak limiter 🍎 iOS • Smoother edits while playing • Export near hardware encoder limit • Fewer allocations per frame 🤖 Android • Chunked proxies for long sources • Faster editor open and export start • Media3 seek fixes bundled in • Grade / LUT ✂ Both platforms • Same fps on VFR with edit lists • Odd MP4s (cover art) just work 🧠 Shared C++ core • Document, commands, undo/redo • Clipboard, duplicate, repeat loop • Versioned project save/load • C ABI + Swift/Kotlin/RN facades

Video Editor SDK update 🎧 Audio • -14 LUFS normalize • Ducking, true-peak limiter • Clip boost up to +12 dB 🍎 iOS • Own VideoToolbox paused frames • Trim on pause: 90-161 → 40-61 ms • Paused edits p95: 88 → 35 ms • Fixed playhead jumping back on pause 🤖 Android • Own MediaCodec scrub (opt-in) • 100 sessions, 0 stale/black frames • Scrub frames identical to export • Preview: crop, rotation, keyframes • Preview: text overlays, blur-fill • Background export via service • Worked around Media3 same-ms seek skip • Fixed silent audio after scrub ✂ Both platforms • Frame-exact trims at 23.976 fps and VFR • Fixed neighbour-frame bug, preview + export • Clip speed plays live in preview 🎬 Transitions • Android export shaders done • iOS preview in progress 🧠 Shared C++ core • Undo/redo history moved in

Today's Video Editor SDK update: • iOS: animated overlays (enter/exit, fades) in preview and export • Android: photo clips rebuild 9× faster in preview on a Galaxy A13 (1.39 s → 0.15 s) • Found a Media3 bug that drops frames at open-GOP clip ends, sent a fix upstream • editor open → first frame: iPhone 13 313 → 226 ms, iPhone 16 Pro 256 → 184 ms • play after seek on iPhone 13: ~0.5 s → ~0.2 s • blur-fill backgrounds: planned in the shared C++ core, GPU passes next

video-editor SDK updates: • Frame-exact scrubbing • iOS color grading, curves & 3D LUTs in preview + export • Paused preview edits on iPhone 13: 44 → 27 ms median • Audio time-stretching: 46–62% less CPU time in Galaxy A13 / Pixel 8a benchmarks
