Beta Changelog

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

3.1.1-beta.3

Improvements

  • Improved microphone, system audio, and background music volume controls so slider movement and audible changes respond immediately, with keyboard adjustments grouped into a single Undo step.

Fixes

  • Fixed unsupported Local AI options remaining selected on macOS or incompatible hardware. AI Speech Edit and AI Webcam now default to Cloud AI when local generation is unavailable and provide clearer compatibility guidance.
  • Fixed choosing Don't Save when reopening the current project failing to discard unsaved edits and reload the saved version.

3.1.1-beta.2

Improvements

  • Added disk space monitoring that warns when storage is running low, stops safely before the disk fills, and helps recover interrupted recordings.
  • 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.
