Releases · CapSoftware/Cap
v0.4.5
- Camera Only Mode — Record video using just your camera. This mode can be toggled directly from the main window for quick, focused video capture. Both Studio and Instant Mode supported.
- More reliable decoding and seek behavior — Added FFmpeg software fallback when hardware decoding fails, improved AVAssetReader end-of-file handling, and tuned decoder timeouts for slow seeks and initial playback.
- Smoother exports and playback stability — Editor preview now pauses during export, keyframe distribution and frame iteration were improved, and GPU buffer resizing is more robust to reduce stalls.
- Lower-overhead macOS frame processing — Introduced pooled pixel buffers and a dedicated copier for screen capture, then refactored frame scaling around the pool for more efficient processing.
- Improved audio timestamp and drift handling — Reworked timestamp/drift logic in the recording and MP4 pipelines for more stable long-running audio-video sync.
- Cleaner screenshot workflow — Target selection overlays are now hidden before capture, hidden overlays no longer block clicks, and screenshot notification audio behavior was refined.
- Better multi-display overlay focus — Improved focus and positioning logic for target-selection overlays across multi-monitor setups.

0.4.1
- Improved export resilience — Exports now retry failed frame decodes up to 3 times with exponential backoff, and can recover from intermittent GPU/decoder hiccups. If a frame fails completely, the previous valid frame is used to prevent gaps. Timeout handling is now more forgiving, waiting for up to 3 consecutive timeouts before aborting.
- Better audio-video timestamp sync — Improved resync logic handles large timestamp jumps (such as those caused by system sleep/wake) by automatically resyncing to wall clock time. Clock skew compensation is now more robust with proper floating-point accumulation.
- Timestamp pipeline overhaul — Recording timestamps now propagate correctly through the entire capture and audio pipeline from the very first frame, improving sync accuracy from the start of recordings.

0.4.0
- Screenshot Mode — Capture and edit screenshots with a dedicated editor. Includes shapes, text annotations, sensitive masking, backgrounds, padding, and more. Export or share with a single click.
- Local caption generation — Generate captions directly on your device using Whisper, with support for many languages. Fully customizable styling (font, size, color, background, position) and SRT export.
- New editor track types — Text overlays, Sensitive Mask, and Highlight tracks give you more creative control over your recordings.
- Overhauled recording picker — Brand new target select overlay makes it easier than ever to pick your recording source.
- Recoverable recordings for Studio Mode — Recordings are now saved in 3-second chunks. If anything goes wrong, you'll lose at most 3 seconds—full recovery system built in and enabled by default.
- Circle cursor — New mobile simulator cursor option for showcasing app demos.
- Faster editor playback — Major performance improvements including WebGPU rendering, optimized YUV conversion, and hardware decoder support on Windows. Longer videos now scrub and play back much smoother.
- Preview quality options — Quarter and Half preview quality options for faster playback on slower systems.
- Improved audio-video sync — Post-recording sync calibration, drift correction, and input latency estimation on macOS for tighter sync.
- Recording hotkeys — New pause/resume hotkey and cycle recording mode hotkey. Tray menu now shows mode selection with dynamic icons.
- Better device support — Lots more webcams and microphones are now supported, with improved device detection and permission flows.
- Redesigned export page — New export UI with live preview, render time estimates, and frame-accurate cropping via a timeline slider.
- Windows reliability — Hardware compatibility checks, encoder health monitoring with automatic fallback, Media Foundation decoder with D3D11 interop, and Windows fragmented M4S muxer support.
- Bug fixes — Fixed memory leak while streaming, split action now respects segment speed, and recordings now use human-readable project names instead of UUIDs + lots more quality of life improvements.
