2026-09-24

v5.13.0

Changes

• •Add optional beta screen-recording tools for backgrounds, screen framing, and camera layouts. Hide stock video, image, and sound tabs in screen-recording mode because these sources need consumer API keys.
• •Add a wallpaper library to the background panel, with 147 CDN-hosted images grouped into 19 categories and favourites. Store backgrounds as composition-level state, validate custom image CORS access, and render image backgrounds through Remotion's `<Img>` during export.

• •Improve play and pause response by keeping playback state out of Remotion composition props. Add enter and exit animation controls for camera recordings, animate video shadows with their media surface, and hide the camera recorder from mobile navigation.

• •Update the RVE logo mark to the current gradient brand icon.
• •Match searchable font family triggers to font weight selects in text and caption settings.
• •Start a timeline mouse drag on the first pointer move. Show the ghost and remove the source item from rendering in the same frame. Keep the touch drag threshold.
• •Move save history and keyboard shortcuts into dialogs opened by subtle icon actions.
• •Make the Settings panel scrollable so all controls and keyboard shortcuts remain reachable.

2026-07-24

v5.4.10

Changes

• •Media library tabs (Stock / My Library) now adapt to what has content and are configurable via a new `mediaLibrary` prop. - Tabs derive from available sources: Stock shows only when the panel has stock adaptors; My Library always shows (uploads work locally). The default active tab is the first visible tab. - New optional `mediaLibrary` prop: `tabs` sets which tabs show and their order (authoritative when provided), and `labels` renames tabs (defaults: `"Stock"`, `"My Library"`). - The internal `hideUploads` prop is deprecated in favour of `mediaLibrary`. ```tsx // My Library only, no config — just pass no stock adaptors <ReactVideoEditor adaptors={{ video: [], images: [], audio: [], localMedia }} /> // Or force it explicitly and rename <ReactVideoEditor mediaLibrary={{ tabs: ['uploads'], labels: { uploads: 'Brand Assets' } }} /> ```
• •Add an "Upload file" button to the My Library empty state, so users can upload their first file directly from the empty panel (previously only a non-clickable prompt when the standalone upload button was hidden).

v5.4.8

Changes

• •Simplify Save History and scope it to the current project. IndexedDB autosaves are shared per browser origin, so the panel previously listed every project's saves and let a user load another project's state into the current editor. Save History now shows only the current project's autosaves and keeps the newest 3 versions per project (oldest dropped on save). Each save records a single entry — an autosave identical to the newest stored version is skipped, so the same snapshot never lands twice. Click a row's "Restore" button to reload that version. `projectId` and a `restoreVersion` helper are now exposed on the editor context. Note: this bumps the local IndexedDB schema, so any single autosave stored by a previous version is cleared once on first load. It self-heals on the next autosave (within a few seconds of editing); only unsaved local recovery from before the upgrade is affected.

v5.4.5

Changes

• •Support arbitrary composition sizes via `editorState.dimensions` (`{ width, height }`), respected in both preview and export at any ratio (e.g. 593×4395, 16:15). Size is now the single source of truth — the aspect-ratio label is derived from it, and the dropdown shows a matching preset (16:9, …) or the raw dimensions when none matches. Adds a `disableExportModal` prop to render immediately at the composition size, and fixes custom-ratio preview scaling. Migration: `EditorState.aspectRatio` is now optional and deprecated — prefer `dimensions`. Existing state that sets only `aspectRatio` still works (it seeds the size from the preset), so no changes are required.

v5.3.9

2026-05-19

2026-05-19

v5.2.0

Changes

• •Replace `defaultTracks`, `defaultAspectRatio`, and `defaultBackgroundColor` props with a single `editorState` prop. The `onSave` callback now emits the same `EditorState` type that `editorState` accepts, enabling clean round-trip persistence. **New API:** ```tsx <ReactVideoEditor editorState={{ tracks, aspectRatio: "16:9", backgroundColor: "white", playbackRate: 1, }} onSave={(state) => saveToBackend(state)} // same EditorState shape /> ``` **Also exports `getCanvasDimensions`** — a utility to get pixel dimensions for a given aspect ratio, useful for sizing items to fill the canvas: ```tsx import { getCanvasDimensions } from "@reactvideoeditor/react-video-editor/types"; const { width, height } = getCanvasDimensions("16:9"); // { width: 1280, height: 720 } ``` **Migration:** Replace `defaultTracks={t} defaultAspectRatio={a} defaultBackgroundColor={c}` with `editorState={{ tracks: t, aspectRatio: a, backgroundColor: c, playbackRate: 1 }}`.
