Release notes
Videorc 0.9.44 Beta 1
Recording quality got a ground-up pass. 60fps recordings now use the same high-quality pipeline as 30fps and end perfectly in sync, every file carries proper color information so it looks the same in every player, exported audio is higher quality with an option to keep the lossless original — and the green screen keyer now removes real, imperfectly-lit screens, not just ideal colors.
Recordings leveled up — true 60fps, correct color everywhere, and green screen that keys real screens
- 60fps recordings (1080p and 1440p) now run through the same pipeline as 30fps — what you see in the preview is what gets recorded, and audio/video stay in sync to the last frame.
- Every recording is now tagged with standard BT.709 color, so your footage shows the same colors in QuickTime, on YouTube, and in every editor — no more player guesswork.
- Green screen now actually keys real screens — the first release keyed only ideal colors; the new keyer handles unevenly lit, real-world green screens with room to spare.
- Exported MP4 audio jumped from 160 to 256 kbps, and a new setting can keep the original lossless-audio recording file next to the MP4.
60fps is a first-class citizen now
Recording at 60fps used to take a different, lesser path through the app: the file could end with audio and video out of step by a fraction of a second, and the file's technical labeling was out of spec — strict players and upload validators could reject it. Now 1080p60 and 1440p60 recordings ride the exact same pipeline as 30fps: the preview you watch is the file you get, sync is tight at the stop, and every file declares the correct H.264 level for its resolution and frame rate. 4K60 (experimental) got the same sync and labeling fixes.
Colors that survive the trip
Recordings never said what color standard they used, so every player had to guess — and different players guessed differently. Every recording is now produced and tagged as standard BT.709 video, end to end. What you saw while recording is what you see in QuickTime, in your editor, and after upload.
Green screen, take two — now it works on real screens
The first green screen release keyed ideal, pure-green pixels beautifully — and real, unevenly lit screens barely at all. The keyer was rebuilt around how real screens actually behave: every part of a real screen, from bright to shadowed, now disappears with the default settings, while skin, hair, and clothing stay untouched.
Better sound in your exports
The MP4 you get after recording now carries 256 kbps audio (up from 160). If you want the untouched original — the recording is captured with lossless audio before export — turn on "Keep original recording" in Settings and the original file stays right next to the MP4.
For the meticulous
Recordings made without streaming now tell the encoder to favor quality over speed (streaming keeps its low-latency tuning), and a new internal quality gate records every supported resolution and frame rate on every release — 1080p to 4K, horizontal and vertical, 24 to 60fps — and fails the release if any file is less than right.
