Screenfully 1.7.0 Is Live: Image Overlays, Video Backgrounds, and Sharper Exports

What Changed in 1.7.0

Image Overlays in the Video Editor

You can now add image overlays directly to video projects and control them from the editing timeline.

Highlights:

• Added image tracks and image segments in the video editor
• Supported overlay placement, scaling, dragging, trimming, rotation, and flipping
• Added timeline previews and selected-image trim handles for image segments
• Persisted image overlays in projects and presets so they survive save, load, and preset application
• Improved overlay rendering across aspect-ratio changes and unclamped positioning

Stronger Screenshot Layering

Screenshot editing now has a clearer layer model, including base-layer behavior for more structured compositions.

Highlights:

• Added screenshot image overlay tooling with base-layer support
• Supported layer ordering and rendering behind the base layer
• Added layer and track naming support with cleaner row descriptions
• Improved layer reordering behavior and animations
• Added confirmation before deleting images in the screenshot editor

Alignment, Padding, and Background Controls

This release makes layout control more consistent between preview and final output.

Highlights:

• Added vertical and horizontal alignment tools across editor and screenshot flows
• Added padding controls with more consistent preview and render behavior
• Improved alignment mapping so recordings can move outside the preview area when needed
• Added gradient blur options and improved background and preset variable handling
• Added initial video background support with project save and resave fixes

Video Background Browsing and Faster Export

The follow-up update tightens video background selection and improves export performance for heavier compositions.

Highlights:

• Added a dedicated Video background tab alongside All, Solid, Gradient, Image, and Wallpaper filters
• Split custom image and custom video background selection into separate picker flows
• Improved template browsing selection state and scroll positioning
• Reworked video background frame extraction during export with AVAssetReader
• Fixed clipped exports when zoomed or aligned recordings extend outside the output canvas

Timeline, Toolbar, and Direct Editing Polish

Daily editing interactions should feel clearer and more predictable across the editor surface.

Highlights:

• Improved editor toolbar layout, back-button sizing, scrollbar support, and disabled-tool presentation
• Improved timeline horizontal scrolling and issue handling
• Added duration display for image segments in the timeline preview
• Updated image and video badge colors so media types are easier to distinguish
• Refined add-layer and add-track button treatment

Undo, Auto-Save, Presets, and Free Preview

Project state now travels through more of the editing system, and preset behavior is easier to inspect before export.

Highlights:

• Improved undo and redo for editor state changes, including zoom scale and image scale controls
• Fixed auto-save behavior for newly saved projects and improved the auto-save indicator
• Expanded project storage coverage for image overlays and video backgrounds
• Added confirmation dialogs when updating or deleting presets
• Let free users preview all preset fields, including Pro backgrounds, frames, aspect ratios, and watermark state

Localization, Analytics, and Reliability

The new 1.7.0 surfaces include stronger instrumentation, broader localization, and more test coverage.

Highlights:

• Localized new overlay, layer, padding, alignment, preset, and project-store error strings
• Updated supported language resources across English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, European Portuguese, Russian, and Simplified Chinese
• Added analytics for image overlay, screenshot overlay, preset, alignment, padding, and 1.7.0 What's New flows
• Added a reusable release-scoped version_feature_used analytics event
• Expanded tests around project storage, presets, editor state, renderer consistency, screenshot layout, and library behavior

Why This Release Matters

Screenfully 1.7.0 expands what creators can build directly on iPhone and iPad:

• More expressive video edits with timeline-based image overlays
• More structured screenshot compositions with explicit layers
• Better visual consistency between preview, save, and export
• Faster and more reliable exports for video background and off-canvas zoom scenarios
• Stronger persistence so projects and presets carry more of the final creative state
