Video Effects SDK 3.6.0 for Web

Improved Beautification (aka “Touch Up My Appearance”)#

• Increased the base strength of the effect, so the result is now more noticeable out of the box.
• Updated the algorithm that determines where beautification should be applied for more natural, face-aware results.
• Made beautification intensity control more linear and predictable at runtime, so UI sliders feel smoother and more intuitive.

Frame-by-Frame Video Processing (VideoFrame → VideoFrame)#

You can now process video frame by frame using VideoFrame input and VideoFrame output:

• Designed for advanced integrations where the video provider SDK exposes direct VideoFrame access (e.g., Zoom Web SDK–style APIs).
• Can also be used for offline / post-processing pipelines (denoising, enhancement, effects on pre-recorded video).

This unlocks deeper integrations and more flexible video processing workflows.

Explicit Resource Cleanup with sdk.destroy()#

Added sdk.destroy() to explicitly free all GPU and CPU resources used by an SDK instance.

Use this when:

• Your pipeline requires recreating the SDK instance during the same browser session.
• You want to fully destroy the SDK instance and clean up GPU state.

Note:
Simply nulling the SDK instance reference is not sufficient. Internal resources and GPU contexts (WebGL / WebGPU) may stay alive and, after multiple re-initializations, can cause:

• Video blinking or flickering
• Gradual GPU memory growth
• WebGL context limit warnings / errors
• Other GPU-related issues

Calling await sdk.destroy() ensures a clean shutdown and proper release of GPU resources.

Bug Fixes & Stability Improvements#

• Various internal fixes to make GPU resource management more robust.
• Improved error handling in edge cases during stream initialization and teardown.
• General stability improvements across the video processing pipeline.
