Capture Quality & Resolve Timeline Handoff

What's New

Capture Quality Profiles

Capture quality is now set before recording from a dedicated Capture Quality section in the source sidebar.

  • High records screen sources as HEVC at 60 fps with a 160 Mbps target for crisp text and practical file size.
  • Max records screen sources as ProRes 422 HQ at 60 fps for highest editing fidelity.
  • Compat records screen sources as H.264 at 30 fps with a 25 Mbps target for broad playback compatibility.
  • Advanced exposes codec, frame rate, bitrate, ProRes profile, keyframe, and related detailed controls.
  • Capture Quality affects newly recorded raw media; export settings still control post-recording delivery files.

Crisper Screen Recording

Screen recordings now use explicit sRGB / Rec.709 color handling so common players and upload pipelines no longer wash out the image.

  • Screen capture requests sRGB from ScreenCaptureKit for screen sources.
  • Screen writer settings tag screen tracks as bt709 / bt709 / sRGB.
  • Screen pixel-buffer attachments are normalized before writing, including direct writer paths, conversion fallback paths, screen + mic recording, composite recording, and export rendering.
  • Default High capture keeps native backing-pixel resolution where available; for example, a 1080p DeskPad display exposed and recorded a 3840 x 2160 backing buffer.
  • H.264 / HEVC export writer settings now honor the selected delivery bitrate strictly instead of applying capture-only screen burst overrides.

Composite Recording Improvements

Composite mode now behaves more like Standard mode while recording, with lower preview overhead and better output fidelity.

  • Composite recording uses the effective screen capture pixel dimensions for full-display canvases.
  • The Metal compositor preserves exact pixels for 1:1 full-screen screen layers and uses area sampling for scaled screen layers.
  • The center-stage live preview pauses during countdown, preparation, recording, pause, and stop states, showing the lightweight timer/status view instead.
  • Scene Only composite recording writes one rendered composite video stream instead of also preparing separate raw screen and camera encoders.
  • Direct composite Scene Only sessions remain exportable from the recording row and Sessions views.
  • Native same-codec direct composite exports preserve/remux the recorded composite video track instead of transcoding it.

DaVinci Resolve Timeline Handoff

Lumary can now build FCPXML timelines for DaVinci Resolve without first exporting to a delivery codec.

  • Added DaVinci Resolve Timeline actions from single-session export, batch export, and the Sessions window.
  • Added a multi-session timeline picker with per-session timelines or one concatenated timeline.
  • The FCPXML references captured session media directly.
  • Displays, cameras, microphone audio, and system audio stay as separate timeline clips.
  • No sidecar media, muxing, or codec conversion is created for the timeline handoff.
  • Media probing reads source duration, frame rate, audio channel count, and sample rate for more accurate Resolve import.

Import the generated FCPXML with DaVinci Resolve > File > Import > Timeline.... The original captured session media must remain available at the paths referenced by the FCPXML.

Fixed

  • Fixed Composite native HEVC exports downgrading from 10-bit 4:2:2 HEVC Rext to 8-bit 4:2:0 HEVC Main.
  • Fixed Composite Scene Only preflight estimating encoder load as if it would encode separate raw screen and camera videos.
  • Fixed direct Composite export sheet wording so direct composite recordings are shown as composite files, not legacy packages.
  • Fixed hidden raw-cleanup behavior for direct composite recordings.
  • Fixed unsupported H.264 / HEVC compression properties that could crash AVFoundation writer creation.
  • Fixed profile persistence so default Capture Quality improvements still apply unless the user has explicitly customized advanced settings.

Requirements

  • macOS 15.0 (Sequoia) or later
  • Stream Deck 6.9+ (for Stream Deck integration)
