With this update we introduce two brand new features! The first one is presets. This is something that has been asked for many times and is now available with the latest update. Presets allow you to adjust your video to your liking and then save those changes so that you can apply them to new projects easily with the click of a button. You're also able to set a preset as default which means when you create new recordings in the future, it will already have the settings you created saving time and effort.

The next feature we've introduced is the ability to pause while recording. Even though you're able to edit and cut parts of the video out you don't want in the Canvid editor, it can be quite common that you'll have the need to pause while recording such as waiting for a long loading process that doesn't make sense to record. Or maybe something came up in real life where you don't want to scrap what you've recorded so far but just need to do something else quickly. Pause while recording can be super helpful in saving you time when it comes to editing later.

One final note I'd like to make. We have a long list of features, fixes and improvements we'd like to make. We have some super, top secret cool features coming up soon. We do intend on getting some kind of visible roadmap or feature voting page out in the future so that you're able to have your say on what we work on next. In the meantime there have been a couple of comments on the minimum size a zoom can be. We want to provide more flexibility by allowing zooms to be even shorter however there are some technical issues that can cause glitching which is why we haven't done just that. We hope to evaluate this over the next short while and get a patch out that allows zooms to be smaller.

• Presets! - Create presets for your projects to easily switch between styles with a click of a button. You can even set a preset as default so new projects have the look you want immediately!
• Pause while Recording - Sometimes you need to do something else or wait for things to load. Use the pause functionality while recording to reduce editing later!

• Fixed a UI issue where zooms could be resized smaller but then reset to the larger size
• Fixed an issue where resizing a zoom could cause the app to crash if the zoom was smaller than intended

• Clicking the drag handles of clips and zooms now allow you to select them
