Notes

In this release we've done some modernisation work on the Video Recorder plugin (which allows for real-time recording, as opposed to "offline" video exports), aiming to better support new media formats coming to browsers. Previously you had to select both a container format and codec at the same time, such as "WebM VP9" or "MP4 H.264" as a single selection. This also didn't really make sense if you chose an audio codec with a different container (e.g. WebM VP9 + MP4 AAC is a contradictory selection). So we've replaced the conditions and actions with new versions that allow selecting the container separately, such as "WebM" container, "VP9" video codec, and "Opus" audio codec. Then in future when more formats are supported it will be easier to support them, and provide more flexibility in choosing a format. Existing projects should keep working the same, but delete the affected conditions/actions and add them again from scratch to make sure you switch to the new versions which let you choose the container format separately.

This release also includes some improvements for Flowcharts: there's a new rectangle selection tool to allow multiple selections of nodes. You can now also clone nodes by Ctrl+Drag. There's a few other additions and fixes in the changelog below. Happy testing!

  • Is there a reason why Video Recorder is getting attention before Voice Chat? I have seen many more requests regarding Voice chat, especially in a video game environment. I don't see where Video recorder would be useful.

    Is this a stepping stone toward voice chat? Will we be able to transmit these recordings via multiplayer at the very least? Creating some kind of video chat?
