Release notes

Videorc 0.9.7 Beta 1

Window recordings are now full Retina resolution, the preview stops tearing during motion, and takeover screens flip on and off right from the Studio.

Sharper recordings, smoother preview, one-click takeovers

  • Window captures record at full Retina resolution — they were half-res before.
  • The native preview no longer tears during fast motion.
  • Takeover screens have a new home — manage them in Assets, flip them live from the Studio panel.
  • Premium now works offline for up to 7 days between sign-ins.
  • A cleaner Studio session panel with bolder Record and Stream controls.

Full-resolution window recordings

Recording a window on a Retina display used to capture at half resolution — both in the preview and in the finished file. Window captures now request real pixels, so recordings come out at the sharpness of your screen.

Preview without tearing

Fast motion (a moving camera, scrolling content) could tear in the native preview. The preview pipeline now hands frames over in a way that keeps every frame whole, and it stays smooth at high frame rates.

Takeovers, reworked

Full-frame takeover images (a "Starting soon" or "Be right back" slate) moved to where they belong:

  • Manage them in Assets — upload, rename, and reorder next to your backgrounds.
  • Flip them on from Studio — the session panel has a Takeover switch that works before and during a session. Click a slate to cover the output, click it again to go back to your scene.
  • Starting a recording with a takeover active no longer complains about hidden sources — the slate is the output.

Premium, offline

Your premium unlock is now verified and stored on this Mac, so multistream and other premium features keep working without a network connection for up to 7 days between sign-ins.

Polish

  • The Studio session panel is tighter: bigger glassy Record and Stream buttons and just the facts that matter.
  • Background styling now lives in one place — Assets → Active background.
  • Settings has a cleaner two-column layout, and the launch-at-login option is gone (a screen recorder should start when you mean to record).
  • Fixed a startup crash path when certain windows could not be mapped at recording start.
