Release notes
Videorc 0.9.36 Beta 1
Vertical recordings can no longer come out letterboxed — the canvas is always true 9:16, single-source scenes fill the whole frame, and a new full-screen Camera scene joins vertical mode.
Short-format mode always fills the whole 9:16 frame
- Vertical mode always records a true portrait canvas — picking a resolution can no longer flip your short-form recording to landscape.
- Portrait resolutions got a proper ladder — 720, 1080p, 2K, and 4K, matching the landscape options.
- A vertical scene with only one source now fills the whole frame with it, instead of leaving a black band.
- New vertical scene, Camera — your camera full screen in 9:16, cropped to fit, with zoom and pan to frame yourself.
The canvas can no longer contradict the mode
Short-format mode is for phones, and phones want 9:16. Until now the resolution picker could quietly hand a vertical scene a landscape canvas — the recording then played back on a phone as a thin strip with black above and below. That combination is gone: in vertical mode every resolution option is portrait (720 × 1280 up to a full 2160 × 3840), the width and height fields swap themselves if a value would flip the orientation, and a mismatched older setting heals itself on launch.
One source, whole frame
A vertical scene with just a screen or just a camera used to keep the other source's band — as a black stripe. Now the source you have fills the entire frame, center-cropped, exactly like short-form video should look. Add the second source and the familiar bands come right back.
New scene: Camera
Vertical mode now has a full-screen Camera scene. Your camera covers the whole 9:16 frame — cropped to fit, never letterboxed — and zoom and pan let you frame yourself. It is also the first vertical scene that works without a screen selected, so camera-only creators are no longer locked out of vertical mode.
