  • Fixed a frame jump issue for the Pause and Resume function in Preview.
  • After you duplicate a 3D face, there may be no effect shown in the preview panel.
  • After adding 2 cubes and applying position change or rotation, when you pause preview and delete the cubes, you may experience a screen freeze issue. To resolve it, please follow this method:
    1. Add 2 cubes respectively.
    2. Pause the preview.
    3. Perform any needed position changes or rotation of the 2 cubes.
    4. Unpause the preview.
    5. Pause the preview.
    6. Delete these 2 cubes.
    7. Unpause the preview.

Known issues

  • You may experience a jittering screen when using Sticker with 3D face on certain Android devices.
  • When the effect package size is 5.0MB or smaller, it will create a QR code. Effect packages sized between 5 and 5.05MB may be read in-tool as 5MB (in yellow text) due to an error. Per our sizing rules, you will still not be able to generate a preview code with an effect over 5MB in size.
  • The crop feature for thumbnail uploads may not function correctly. For best results, crop your effect before uploading using the thumbnail template: https://effecthouse.tiktok.com/thumbnail-creation/.
  • Users on v1.2.0 with Intel chips cannot update to the v1.3.0 version. Please download the v1.3.0 version from the Effect House website.
