Release notes
Videorc 0.9.39 Beta 1
Key out your background with the new Green screen control and put yourself over any scene or backdrop — it works in every camera layout, live and recorded. Plus live captions finally render in the style you chose instead of a black box, and two Windows fixes for the preview and microphone controls.
Green screen for your camera — and captions in the style you picked
- Green screen: flip one switch in the camera Inspector to key out a green or blue screen — works in every camera layout, on the live stream, in recordings, and with the camera bubble shapes.
- Similarity, smoothness, and spill-removal sliders tune the key live while you watch, and the keyed camera over a background image makes a clean virtual set.
- Live captions now render in the style you picked in the Captions tab — the no-background Classic style no longer shows up as a black box on your stream.
- Windows: the preview now reports live correctly, and microphone gain and mute apply during a session.
Key out your background
The camera Inspector in the Layout tab has a new Green screen section: flip "Key out background" and Videorc keys a green or blue screen out of your camera in real time. It works in every camera layout — over the screen, side-by-side, the vertical scenes — and putting your keyed camera over a background image from Assets gives you a clean virtual set.
Three sliders tune the key while you watch: Similarity decides how much of the screen color disappears, Smoothness softens the edges around hair and shoulders, and Spill removal clears the green tint that lighting bounces onto you. The same key is applied everywhere a frame is composed — the preview, the live stream, and the recording all agree — and it composes cleanly with the round and rounded camera bubbles.
You'll get the best results from an evenly lit screen behind you; the defaults are a solid starting point, and the sliders take it from there.
Captions wear the style you chose
Live captions burned onto a stream now render in the style selected in the Captions tab. Previously every style came out as a black box — the no-background Classic style most visibly — because the stream compositor ignored the caption art's transparency. If you stream with captions on, they now look exactly like the preview.
Windows fixes
The preview surface now reports itself live correctly, and microphone gain and mute changes apply while a session is running.
