Recordly v1.1.5

Recordly v1.1.5

This release adds some of the biggest features the app has had so far, and overall it makes the experience much better from recording to editing to export.

Highlights

Auto-captions

Recordly can now generate captions locally with Whisper.

You can bring captions straight into the editor, preview them properly, style them, and export them with the final video. For tutorials, demos, product videos, and short-form content, this is a massive upgrade.

Visual project browser

Projects are now much easier to jump back into.

There’s a new visual project browser with thumbnails and saved project metadata, so unfinished work is easier to find and reopen. The project picker flow is also much cleaner across the app.

Better cursor and presentation controls

This release also adds more cursor styling options and improves the overall presentation pipeline.

Between cursor styling, caption rendering, preview playback, and export improvements, videos now feel much more polished right inside Recordly.

More in v1.1.5

• better long-export reliability, especially for audio encoding
• improved caption preview playback
• localized caption controls and loading states
• timeline select-all block deletion
• unsaved changes indicator
• less launch polling and less editor snapshot churn
• packaging and native helper improvements
• more polish across the project browser flow
• updated docs and install instructions

Personal note

A quick honest note: this past week moved unusually fast, but I can’t keep up that pace with school taking up so much of my time.

I spend many hours on the app working on Recordly unpaid, fixing bugs, shipping features, and answering issues. I’m still working on it, and I still want to keep improving it, but development will likely be slower from here.

If Recordly has been useful to you, please consider sponsoring the project here:

Support Recordly on GitHub Sponsors

Sponsoring me directly helps me keep developing Recordly, spend more time on better features, fix issues faster, and continue supporting the app. Recordly is also still much cheaper than tools like Screen Studio, so if it’s already been valuable to you, sponsorship is a very direct way to help keep it improving.

I also strongly encourage PRs. If you’ve been thinking about contributing, now is a really good time, because community contributions are going to matter more as development slows down a bit.

这次版本加入了目前为止一些最重要的功能，也让整个体验从录制、编辑到导出都变得更完整、更顺手。

重点更新

自动字幕

Recordly 现在支持通过 Whisper 本地生成字幕。

可视化项目浏览器

现在重新打开项目轻松了很多。

这次加入了新的可视化项目浏览器，支持缩略图和项目元数据保存，找回未完成项目会方便很多，整个项目选择流程也变得更顺了。

更好的光标和画面表现控制

这次更新也加入了更多光标样式选项，同时继续提升了整体画面表现能力。

从光标样式、字幕渲染，到预览播放和导出效果，这些部分都变得更好了，最终视频会更精致、更完整。

v1.1.5 还包括

• 提升长时间导出的稳定性，尤其是音频编码部分
• 改进字幕预览播放效果
• 增加字幕控件与加载状态的本地化
• 支持时间线全选后批量删除
• 增加未保存修改提示
• 减少启动轮询和编辑器快照抖动
• 改进打包流程和原生辅助工具
• 持续优化项目浏览器体验
• 更新文档和安装说明

个人说明

简单说一下：过去这一周的开发节奏确实特别快，但因为学业会占用我很多时间，我没办法一直保持这样的速度。

我在 Recordly 上投入了很多时间，而且这些开发、修 bug、做功能、回复 issue 的工作基本上都是无偿的。我还是会继续做这个项目，也还是想继续把它做好，只是接下来的开发节奏大概率会慢一些。

如果 Recordly 对你有帮助，也希望你可以考虑在这里赞助这个项目：

在 GitHub Sponsors 上支持 Recordly

直接赞助我，能最直接地帮助我继续开发 Recordly，投入更多时间去做更好的功能、更快修复问题，也让这个产品可以持续被维护下去。Recordly 现在本身也还是比 Screen Studio 这类工具便宜很多，所以如果它已经对你有价值，赞助会是一个非常直接的支持方式，也能帮助它继续变得更好。

我也非常鼓励大家提 PR。如果你之前有想过参与贡献，现在会是一个很好的时间点，因为随着开发节奏慢下来，社区贡献会变得更重要.
