AI Summary

Optimizes recording start times with parallel processing and fixes drawing persistence and stop flow issues.

Key Highlights

  • Recordings start faster as uploaders and encoders run in parallel
  • WebCodecs encoders reclaimed mid-recording now rebuild silently
  • Drawings made during the countdown now persist into the recording
  • Smoother stop flow for multi-scene recordings

New Features

  • Parallel processing for start-up
  • WebCodecs encoder recovery
  • Drawing persistence
  • Multi-scene stop flow optimization

Full Release Notes

- Recordings start faster, especially cloud recordings. Uploaders, encoder warm-up, and Bunny setup now run in parallel instead of in sequence
- WebCodecs encoders reclaimed mid-recording (long pauses, background-tab throttling, HW contention with Teams/Zoom/NVIDIA) now rebuild silently instead of breaking the recording
- Fixed recordings stalling on a static screen on macOS
- Drawings made during the countdown now persist into the recording instead of getting cleared on the transition
- Smoother stop flow for multi-scene recordings, with the toast and popup no longer competing for attention
