November 2025
API
  • Introduced font auto-detection. Newly created templates are now scanned for missing fonts, such fonts are then reported both during template fetch response but also with job creation. Note that this feature is still experimental, only fonts and templates uploaded after 31st October will contain the necessary metadata to support this feature. We plan on expanding it with proper documentation in the near future.
  • Performance improvements made to the job picking logic.
  • Improved the reliability of the job cleanup processes.
​
October 2025
API
  • Implemented template auto-cleanup for failed or unfulfilled templates. Templates that were not uploaded in 7 days are now marked as inactive.
  • Improved internal job handling.
  • Several bugfixes and performance improvements were made.
​
September 2025
API
  • Introduced Secrets Management: securely store and reference API keys, credentials, and sensitive values in jobs.
  • Added Upload configuration block: control output destinations with S3 support, custom prefixes, ACLs, and outputUrl overrides.
  • Added Render settings: configure output type (video, image), frame ranges, codecs, and quality (draft, full).
  • Added autodetection of .AEP files in project archives. Removed requirement for .AEP to be at archive root.
  • Webhook no longer requires a method field provided and now defaults to POST.
  • Fixed: Webhooks would get fired with queued status on failed attempts. We now only fire a webhook on either a finished or a final error state.
Worker
  • Implemented Smart Caching: frequently used templates are cached locally, cutting download times significantly on repeated renders.
​
August 2025
API
  • Improved support for Google Cloud Platform storage.
  • Enhanced font deletion logic for better resource cleanup.
  • Added outputUrl field to GET /api/v2/jobs/:id response for direct access to rendered output.
  • Added support for Essential Properties in Motion Graphics templates (docs).
  • Enforced TIMECODE display setting in After Effects during render for consistency.
  • Refined job creation pipeline for improved throughput and reliability.
  • Added color parsing support for Essential parameters, expanding creative flexibility.
Worker
  • Enhanced logging for improved transparency.
  • Updated MOGRT parsing logic for better compatibility with AE templates.
  • Improved asset fetching logic, making it more reliable in varied network conditions.
  • Lifecycle improvements for better performance and resilience.
​
July 2025
API
  • Added quality parameter ("draft", "best") to the nx:preview asset function, allowing finer control over preview renders.
  • Switched to 7z decompression as the primary driver for .zip template handling, improving performance and compatibility.
  • Increased JSON payload size limit to support larger templates during parsing.
Worker
  • Improved template parsing logic for greater accuracy and speed.
  • Introduced lifecycle changes to enhance resource management and fault tolerance.
​
June 2025
API
  • Fixed critical bugs improving reliability.
  • Enhanced webhook logging for better debugging and monitoring.
Worker
  • General stability improvements leading to more consistent job execution.

May 2025
Job Scalability with Reserved Workers We now support reserved workers — dedicated rendering nodes for teams requiring guaranteed performance. If all reserved nodes are busy, jobs automatically fall back to a shared, slower pool to ensure eventual processing without failure. (Currently offered to selected clients.)Job Parenting Logic Improved Refactored internal logic for dependent/related jobs to better support future features like job chains and batches.Bug Fixes Resolved bugs related to job tracking and template rendering stability.
​
April 2025
Template Validation & Deep Parsing Newly uploaded templates are now automatically validated and introspected. We extract key metadata:
  • Available compositions
  • Editable layers
  • Embedded .mogrt parameters
    This paves the way for advanced job setup via UI and API.
Performance & Reliability Upgrades Improved API throughput and reduced latency on template upload and font processing.Bug Fixes Resolved issues affecting asset rendering in edge cases.
​
March 2025
Jobs API v2 Launched A completely new and powerful way to manage rendering jobs at scale. Key features:
  • Templates: reusable AEP/MOGRT/ZIP projects for rapid job issuing.
  • Fonts: centralized font management — no need to host fonts externally.
  • Smarter webhook handling, including custom data payloads.
  • Clearer job lifecycle visibility: track, retry, and introspect with ease.
  • Support for [nx asset functions] to control layers dynamically inside jobs.
​
February 2025
Job Redaction Layer For privacy-conscious users, job data is now automatically sanitized after 3 days (render logs, asset paths, etc).Bug Fixes Addressed 2 stability issues related to font uploads and job progress syncing.

January 2025
Dedicated API Service Migration We’ve migrated all job-related operations to a separate service — this unlocks:
  • Independent scaling
  • Faster deploy cycles
  • Greater reliability under load
Foundational Optimizations Major refactors behind the scenes: faster queueing, improved monitoring, and more resilient error recovery.
