See what's new in CANVID Beta with our changelog, covering all updates, improvements, and bug fixes.

3.2.0-beta.1

Features

  • Added new camera shape options for Original, Wide (16:9), Square (1:1), Classic (4:3), Vertical (9:16), Tall (3:4), and Portrait (4:5) framing.
  • Added an option for cursor styles that preserves native cursor shapes, for both Windows and macOS recordings.

Fixes

  • Fixed resized screenshot text and shape labels rendering differently in exported images than in the editor preview.
  • Fixed repeatedly using Compress Cuts potentially discarding source media that should have remained in the project.

3.1.2-beta.1

Features

  • Added a confirmation prompt before discarding an active recording, with an option to keep recording.
  • Added zoom and pan controls to the crop dialog for more precise adjustments.
  • Added color and gradient swatches to background controls in the video and screenshot editors.

Improvements

  • Improved long recent-project names so they scroll into view in the File menu.

Fixes

  • Fixed captions repeatedly rebuilding while unchanged, improving stability during long editor sessions.
  • Fixed the Zoom position preview not consistently updating with the current video frame.

  • Added a webcam unavailable warning with an option to retry the camera after closing another app that may be using it.
  • Improved preset updates so renamed, deleted, or unreadable preset files no longer disrupt the rest of the preset list.
  • Improved purchase checkout and license refresh reliability after completing an upgrade in the browser.

Fixes

  • Fixed the editor crashing when applying a crop while a privacy mask was visible.
  • Fixed Zoom animations restarting or disappearing when they span removed timeline gaps or clip boundaries.
  • Fixed resetting an unchanged slider adding an empty step to Undo history.
  • Fixed some Windows file paths causing errors when selecting files or folders.
  • Fixed Long Click zoom detection occasionally leaving a recording stuck while stopping instead of saving it.
  • Fixed unrelated window movement changing the tracked area during window recording.
