Release notes
Videorc 0.9.31 Beta 1
The Studio now has a vertical mode with its own set of 9:16 scenes — flip one switch and you're composing, previewing, and recording a true 1080×1920 portrait video; flip back and your landscape setup returns exactly as you left it.
Vertical mode — record true 9:16 for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok
- A new toggle in the Scenes panel switches the whole Studio between horizontal (16:9) and vertical (9:16) modes.
- Vertical mode brings five scenes built for short-form — camera on top, camera on the bottom, an even split, full-screen recording with a floating camera bubble, and screen only.
- Recordings in vertical mode are real 1080×1920 portrait files, not landscape videos with bars.
- Each mode remembers its last scene and your canvas settings, so switching back and forth never loses your setup.
- Switching scenes inside a mode stays live-safe while you record or stream.
One switch, a whole vertical studio
Short-form video isn't a landscape recording turned sideways — it's its own format with its own layouts. The Studio now treats it that way: a small toggle next to the Scenes gallery flips the entire Studio into vertical mode. The canvas becomes a true 1080×1920 portrait, the preview follows, and the scene gallery swaps to layouts designed for a phone screen.
Flip back to horizontal and everything returns exactly as you left it — your landscape scene, your resolution, your setup.
Five scenes made for short-form
Vertical mode doesn't reuse the landscape layouts; it has its own gallery:
- Camera top — your face above, your screen below. The classic Shorts arrangement.
- Camera bottom — the mirror: content up top, you underneath.
- Split — screen and camera share the frame evenly.
- Screen + Cam — the recording fills the whole frame and your camera floats as a bubble you can drag, resize, and shape, just like the landscape scene.
- Screen — the recording alone, edge to edge.
Your screen content is never cropped in the stacked scenes — the screen band always fits your whole display, and the camera band fills with your chosen fit.
Honest rules while you're live
The canvas can't change size mid-session, so the orientation toggle is disabled while you record or stream — with the reason spelled out, not grayed-out mystery. Everything else stays live: switch between vertical scenes, swap sources, change backgrounds, all without stopping.
