Desktop (Win/Mac)

We’ve improved our experience for our free users! Free users can now access the project manager for a seamless experience. This makes it easier to see past projects, and import videos and images.

What’s new:

• The project manager is available to free users. Launch the screen recorder or screenshot tool, or import your videos and images for editing.

What’s fixed:

• A bug that caused the controls to disappear when recording on a second monitor with a different resolution than the main display

What’s improved:

• We now detect and autoselect a camera when you launch the recorder for the first time.
• Small improvements to the permissions process on Mac.

What’s fixed:

• A bug that affected some users trying to import older “.somrec” files.
• We have updated the links to our new ScreenPal tutorials.

What’s improved:

• We have improved the visibility of the audio waveform when you are editing. For instance, when you are using the Cut tool, you now have better visibility into parts of your video with audio. Thank you for your feedback on this!
• You can see the full name when you hover over a project thumbnail.

What’s fixed:

• Other small fixes and improvements.

What’s improved:

• Your camera style preferences will now be saved! If you make your webcam a circle, for instance, in the video editor, we will remember the setting next time you launch the recorder.
• We rotated the “import” icon, so it communicates “import” and not “download.”

What’s fixed:

• The capture area was offset while recording on Mac in 4K with external monitors attached!
• The timer no longer disappears after 10 minutes of recording in fullscreen mode.
• A bug that kept reverting “Mirror webcam” changes.
• Canvas resize controls are behaving better.
• On Mac, Chinese and Japanese characters are being loaded correctly.
• An error that occurred when a video had over 1,000 sections in an SRT captions file.
• A communication issue between Webex Cloud recordings and ScreenPal.
• ScreenPal has updated to look for the new naming style in Zoom local recordings.

This release squashes a lot of bugs! (Thank you for all of your reporting!)

What’s improved:

• A little finesse to the styling, for instance, in right-clicking to see the Zoom menu.
• We updated the color palettes in our color picker to reflect the new-and-improved ScreenPal colors. You will see the new, brighter, colors when you add overlay shapes and text. (If you used colors in the older palette, have no fear, they should appear in your recent styles.)

What’s fixed:

• A bug that added stock audio to an entire project, versus a single story block.
• Bringing the color back to our visibility icons. (They were grey.)
• A string of code in our Microsoft Teams error dialogue that didn’t make sense to most humans. Whoops.
• A fancy ScreenPal icon for our users on Mac launching the screen recorder from the website.
• When you update the title of a video in the “Quick Share” dialogue, it now updates it in all places.
• We do a better job asking for permissions on Mac! For some users (on certain versions), ScreenPal didn’t ask permission to record until after you began recording. That wasn’t helpful.
• A bug that removed multiple audio sections in a storyboard, when users only meant to remove audio from the last section.
• Better messaging for people using our Zoom Cloud integration! (Zoom often takes time to process cloud recording, particularly for those marathon meetings and lectures!)

Thank you for being a part of our community and for your feedback.

What’s fixed:

• “Connect to Zoom” integration in the desktop content manager has been fixed!

What’s new:

Our screenshots tool now has an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) tool! What is OCR? It helps you recognize text in your screenshots so you can copy the text, or replace it!

• Take a screenshot, or import an image. Then, click on “Recognize Text” and drag the area that you want to capture.
• After we recognize the text, you can replace and restyle to text.

What’s fixed:

• A bug that kept some tooltips around after they should have gone away.
• A bug that affected some of our Windows users who didn’t always see the “Done” post-recording.
• The computer audio and captions links are behaving now for our free users.

Big news:

We have removed the watermark for users recording for free!

What’s fixed:

• The music meter wasn’t animating as expected when users were previewing music.
• A bug that was affecting some users trying to launch the video watch pages on Edge.
