Camera Diagnostics, Session Packages & Export Pipeline

Camera & Audio Diagnostics

  • Camera Info Sheet — Every camera now has an info button showing full diagnostics: device details, transport type, USB speed detection, cable bottleneck warnings, and a complete format catalog with bandwidth feasibility indicators
  • Audio Info Sheet — Microphones get the same diagnostics treatment: channel layout, transport type, native format details, latency breakdown with quality badges, and supported sample rates
  • Clipboard Export — One-click "Copy Report" button exports the full diagnostics summary as plain text

Native 4K Camera Capture & Audio Reliability

Native 4K Camera Recording

  • Full-Resolution Capture — Cameras now record at their full native resolution instead of being capped at 1080p
  • Per-Camera FPS Respected — Frame rate selection is honored during recording — 4K cameras that support 4K at 30fps no longer fall back to 1080p at 60fps
  • macOS Format Lock — Fixed a macOS-specific issue where AVCaptureSession silently overrode the device's configured format back to 1920x1080

High-FPS Recording & Codec Control

High-FPS Multi-Source Recording

  • Stable 60fps Multi-Source — Standard mode now records display + window/app sources much more reliably at 60 fps, with reduced encoder backpressure stalls
  • Higher-Priority Video Writing — Video writing uses higher-priority scheduling and non-blocking readiness retry behavior
  • Optimized Capture Routing — Screen capture routing avoids extra work on the hot path, reducing recording overhead
  • Better Default Bitrates — Default H.264 / HEVC screen capture bitrates are better tuned for screen content instead of camera-style footage

No audio data ever leaves your Mac
  • Window-Level Capture — The "Apps" capture mode now shows individual windows instead of whole apps. Select specific windows to record — pick two Chrome windows and each gets its own output file.

  • Multi-Source Standard Mode — Standard mode now supports recording multiple sources simultaneously, previously only available in composite mode
  • Camera + Microphone Pairing — Pair a camera with a specific microphone to combine video and audio into a single file. Useful for external cameras with dedicated mics
