1.2.0 – Title layer outline & animation

New features

• Title outline effects for video title layers
• New properties on title layers
  • animationDuration (number, seconds) – controls the reveal speed for word-by-word and letter-by-letter animations
  • outlineColor (hex color) – color of the text outline
  • outlineWidth (number, pixels) – width of the outline
  • outlineStyle ("outline" | "shadow" | "glow") – outline rendering style
• 2-layer rendering: outline is rendered below and text fill above so titles stay readable even with thick outlines.
• Improved outline alignment for top / bottom positions across all outline styles.

For more details, see the video schema and the video layer types documentation.

1.1.0 – MCP & validation refactor

Stricter validation

• Job configuration validation has been completely overhauled.
• Requests are now consistently validated against the JSON schemas (for example, image and video configurations).
• Invalid fields are rejected earlier and with clearer error messages, leading to more stable and predictable responses.

New schema endpoints

In version 1.1.0, dedicated endpoints were introduced to retrieve the current schema versions via the API:

• GET /api/v1/schemas – list all available schemas
• GET /api/v1/schemas/image – JSON schema for image configurations
• GET /api/v1/schemas/video – JSON schema for video configurations

These endpoints correspond to the routes in core/src/routes/schemaRoutes.ts and form the basis for automatic schema documentation.

MCP integration

• The new schema endpoints are also exposed through the MCP setup.
• LLMs can use them to fetch the latest JSON schemas and understand what a valid configuration for image and video jobs looks like.
• This significantly improves auto-completion, validation, and error explanations in MCP-based tools.
