3.0.0-beta.7

This beta focuses on privacy tools and a more capable screenshot editor, alongside a set of stability and capture fixes.

Features

  • Added screenshot presets, including support for applying saved presets when the editor opens and switching presets from the editor itself.

  • Added a reset action for screenshot crops so you can quickly return to the original image bounds.

Fixes

  • Fixed area capture sizing so cropped recordings use the correct frame dimensions.
  • Fixed screenshot rounded corners so they scale more consistently across different image sizes.

3.0.0-beta.2

This beta adds a more flexible recording flow and gives you more control when editing clips, alongside a set of export and editor fixes.

Features

Fixes

  • Fixed exports where lip sync could drift after retaking audio.
  • Fixed click indicators and ripple effects drifting out of place after replacement edits.

3.0.0-beta.1

This marks the first Beta release. This initial build doesn't contain too much but we'll be updating it very soon with some awesome new features and improvements. The plan is to get features in to the hands of the users quicker, to get a much quicker feedback loop and help us stabilize features faster.

Features

  • Added support for Latin American Spanish.
  • Added project recovery after mixer crashes so unsaved work can be salvaged.

Improvements

  • Updated our local transcription module to take advantage of the Intel NPU for speed and efficiency. Further accuracy improvements are a work in progress
