Beta Changelog

See what's new in CANVID Beta with our changelog, covering all updates, improvements, and bug fixes.

3.2.1-beta.1

Features

  • Added a Floating camera layout that presents the screen recording and camera as separate cards on the background.

Improvements

  • Added a cloud storage usage meter to storage purchase and storage-full dialogs, and made screenshot upgrade prompts refer to uploading a screenshot.
  • Improved cloud upload reliability during temporary network interruptions by allowing more time between retry attempts.

Fixes

  • Reduced the risk of the editor freezing or crashing when repeatedly seeking through a recording on some graphics hardware.
  • Fixed microphone enhancement errors when quickly seeking through the timeline.
  • Fixed cursor shadows causing memory usage to grow during playback and export.

3.2.0-beta.4

Improvements

  • Improved cloud AI Webcam processing on slower graphics hardware by automatically moving more of the processing to the cloud when needed.

Fixes

  • Fixed recordings potentially crashing or getting stuck when Camera AI Background processing could not keep up. Recording now continues without live background processing, which can be completed in the editor afterward.
  • Fixed starting a new recording before the previous one had finished cleaning up potentially interrupting the new recording or deleting its files.
  • Fixed failed hardware encoder checks leaving graphics resources in use when starting a recording.
  • Fixed the editor potentially crashing when switching projects quickly.
  • Fixed the preview potentially failing when changing camera layouts or shapes.
  • Reduced the risk of lip-sync generation crashing the editor on some graphics hardware by checking compatibility before use and skipping devices that fail the check.
  • Fixed cloud AI generation continuing to show the queue stage after processing had started.

3.2.0-beta.3

Features

  • Added a Split camera layout that places the camera beside the screen recording, or above or below it on portrait canvases. You can choose the side and resize the camera pane in the sidebar or by dragging the divider in the paused preview.

Improvements

  • Click the camera in the paused preview to open its layout settings, or the project's Video settings when no Camera Layout segment is active.
  • Improved screen framing and zoom transitions when switching camera layouts, including Split layouts and the Always Keep Zoomed In setting.
  • Made recording source choices appear sooner on a fresh launch. The Window chooser shows loading placeholders while it finds windows, and Record Display no longer waits for window previews.

Fixes

  • Fixed the selected window preview disappearing during source refreshes or after choosing Record Window on a fresh launch.
  • Fixed cursor motion blur turning off after changing the cursor style.
  • Fixed a potential crash on some older AMD graphics drivers when moving from a recording into the editor.

3.2.0-beta.2

Features

  • Added a recording setting for choosing a maximum webcam resolution of 720p, 1080p, or 4K. New desktop recordings now default to 1080p.

Improvements

  • Redesigned camera shape, canvas aspect ratio, and cursor style controls to make the available options easier to scan and select.
  • Improved progress reporting for MP4, GIF, and cloud exports so the progress bar advances consistently through rendering and uploading.
  • Improved Privacy Area text tracking performance by avoiding unnecessary full-frame scans while keeping masks aligned with their text.
  • Updated the Account and About screens to show the effective plan's expiry date, including clearer handling for Lifetime and Maintenance licenses.

Fixes

  • Fixed long or high-resolution recordings potentially exhausting memory when the encoder could not keep up. CANVID now limits the backlog and warns when frames are being dropped.
  • Fixed GIF exports ignoring the selected frame rate and always encoding at 30 FPS.
  • Fixed resumable cloud uploads potentially stalling at completion or failing after earlier retry attempts.
  • Fixed an issue that could prevent an export from starting.
  • Fixed Quick Share quality options showing incorrect names or descriptions.
  • Fixed AI Webcam generation failing when a cloud job was still starting, and replaced raw server details with clearer error messages when processing fails.
  • Fixed resetting an AI Speech Edit on an AI Webcam project removing the original lip-sync result.
  • Fixed wrapped transcript lines not aligning with the start of their sentence.
  • Fixed seeking during playback potentially failing when the editor was switching between source segments.
  • Fixed pausing or seeking while microphone enhancement was still initializing potentially crashing the editor.
  • Fixed the editor potentially crashing when Camera AI Background was turned off while related camera or timeline changes were being applied.
  • Fixed the editor sidebar using an incorrect background color in dark mode.

3.2.0-beta.1

Features

  • Added new camera shape options for Original, Wide (16:9), Square (1:1), Classic (4:3), Vertical (9:16), Tall (3:4), and Portrait (4:5) framing.
  • Added an option for cursor styles that preserves native cursor shapes, for both Windows and macOS recordings.

Fixes

  • Fixed resized screenshot text and shape labels rendering differently in exported images than in the editor preview.
  • Fixed repeatedly using Compress Cuts potentially discarding source media that should have remained in the project.

3.1.2-beta.1

Features

  • Added a confirmation prompt before discarding an active recording, with an option to keep recording.
  • Added zoom and pan controls to the crop dialog for more precise adjustments.
  • Added color and gradient swatches to background controls in the video and screenshot editors.

Improvements

  • Improved long recent-project names so they scroll into view in the File menu.

Fixes

  • Fixed captions repeatedly rebuilding while unchanged, improving stability during long editor sessions.
  • Fixed the Zoom position preview not consistently updating with the current video frame.
  • Fixed projects failing to open from Windows profile paths containing Unicode characters.
  • Fixed the player using an outdated duration after timeline edits or source changes.
  • Fixed playback ending early when a screen recording finishes with an unchanged frame.
  • Fixed pre-recording webcam previews appearing incorrectly scaled on some display sizes.

3.1.1-beta.3

Improvements

  • Improved microphone, system audio, and background music volume controls so slider movement and audible changes respond immediately, with keyboard adjustments grouped into a single Undo step.

Fixes

  • Fixed unsupported Local AI options remaining selected on macOS or incompatible hardware. AI Speech Edit and AI Webcam now default to Cloud AI when local generation is unavailable and provide clearer compatibility guidance.
  • Fixed choosing Don't Save when reopening the current project failing to discard unsaved edits and reload the saved version.

3.1.1-beta.2

Improvements

  • Added disk space monitoring that warns when storage is running low, stops safely before the disk fills, and helps recover interrupted recordings.
  • Added a webcam unavailable warning with an option to retry the camera after closing another app that may be using it.
  • Improved preset updates so renamed, deleted, or unreadable preset files no longer disrupt the rest of the preset list.
  • Improved purchase checkout and license refresh reliability after completing an upgrade in the browser.

Fixes

  • Fixed the editor crashing when applying a crop while a privacy mask was visible.
  • Fixed Zoom animations restarting or disappearing when they span removed timeline gaps or clip boundaries.
  • Fixed resetting an unchanged slider adding an empty step to Undo history.
  • Fixed some Windows file paths causing errors when selecting files or folders.
  • Fixed Long Click zoom detection occasionally leaving a recording stuck while stopping instead of saving it.
  • Fixed unrelated window movement changing the tracked area during window recording.

3.1.1-beta.1

Features

  • Added customizable volume sliders for microphone and system audio.

Improvements

  • Improved Camera AI Background and Transcription status feedback with clearer progress, loading messages, and error guidance.
  • Improved screenshot editor performance and viewport handling for smoother editing.
  • Improved AI Webcam generation quality for local and cloud generation.
  • Improved screen capture startup reliability on macOS by reducing unnecessary capture initialization work.
  • Clarified Compress Cuts confirmation text so permanent removal and the clearing of undo and redo history are easier to understand.

Fixes

  • Fixed Windows camera and microphone permission failures so CANVID provides recovery guidance.
  • Fixed the first playback attempt failing when AI-Enhanced Voice Clarity was still initializing.
  • Fixed Undo and Redo history combining adjacent slider changes or reset actions into one edit.
  • Fixed Compress Cuts leaving Zoom and Camera Layout segments out of sync when cuts occur at the beginning or end of a project.
  • Fixed camera position changes when a hidden Camera Layout becomes visible again.
  • Fixed right-click context menus on clips and Zoom controls not reopening at the correct position when triggered again.
  • Fixed playback controls shifting when the timecode switches between whole seconds and fractional display.

3.1.0-beta.5

Fixes

  • Fixed local transcription set to Auto not carrying the detected spoken language into captions and AI Speech Edit.
  • Fixed the floating recording toolbar being clipped on Windows.
