Changelog

The native app

• Native Cap is now the only Cap - The GPUI app replaces the old Tauri app on every platform. 0.6.0 updates in place: recordings, settings and macOS permissions carry over, with nothing to reinstall.
• Lighter and faster than Tauri - Editor playback holds a steady 60 fps (up from 56) with 77% less CPU and 88% less memory (440 MB vs 3.7 GB). Recording uses 46% less CPU and 87% less memory (256 MB vs 2 GB).
• Much smaller downloads - Linux packages are less than half their old size (DEB 224 → 97 MB, AppImage 265 → 131 MB), and macOS and Windows downloads are smaller too.
• Signed native updater - Updates are verified while they download, show progress in Settings and finish with a "Restart to update" prompt. Switching channels cancels any pending update from the old channel.
• New onboarding - A welcome screen with an animated sky, then a step-by-step permissions checklist. On macOS, a drag-to-grant guide follows System Settings, and Cap relaunches itself when Screen Recording needs it.
• Native look and feel - Uses the system font (SF Pro on macOS, Segoe UI on Windows), grouped settings, glass capture buttons and Control Center style camera and microphone lists.
• Editor window placement - On macOS the editor opens at a size that fits your display and reopens where you left it on each display.
• Reduce Motion - Animations follow the macOS Reduce Motion setting.

Features

• Shortcuts, rebuilt - Shortcuts are grouped into Screenshots, Recording and While recording, and each row explains what it does. Start Studio and Start Instant recording can now be bound from this page.
• After-capture choices - Choose what happens after a screenshot (open editor, copy, copy and edit, or do nothing) and after a Studio recording (open editor, show Cap, or do nothing).
• Better background removal - On macOS, only the main person is kept, so people behind you are removed. Edges are sharper and steadier, and the live preview runs at 720p.
• Captions for long recordings - Recordings longer than 6m40s can now be captioned with the Recommended model, and long transcriptions run up to 44% faster.
• Camera and microphone access - The app shows clearly when camera or mic access is missing or pending instead of an endless spinner, and picks the device up again once access is granted.
• System audio remembered - The system audio toggle keeps its setting between launches.

Recording and sync

• Audio and video stay in sync - Fixed video drifting ahead of audio after dropped frames at recording start, frames stamped with their processing time instead of their capture time, and dropped audio samples when audio latency improved partway through a recording.
• Instant mode sync - Microphone, system audio and screen now start together. System audio could start up to 60 ms off, and a slow mic up to a second early.
• Camera alignment - The camera no longer plays ahead of the screen when it started recording first.
• Idle-screen frame rate - Studio recordings of mostly static screens keep their real frame rate. Previously, exports dropped frames and sync drifted. Existing recordings are repaired when opened.
• Steadier camera - Camera frames are kept through brief system stalls, and Windows no longer duplicates camera frames under normal timing jitter.
• Cursor through slow drives - Cursor, click and key data keep recording when an SD card, external drive or network drive stalls.
• Crash recovery - Recovered recordings keep their last finished fragment and their track timing. Static screens are flushed every 2 seconds, so a crash can no longer lose 10+ seconds. Footage is recovered after an early muxer restart.
• 58 crash and hang fixes - A new stress suite found and fixed crashes from mics that send empty buffers or change format during device switches, screen or camera buffers that change size mid-recording, and damaged project files.
• 5K and 6K displays - Studio recordings on displays over 4096 px wide are scaled by macOS during capture, so they are no longer resized afterwards.

Editing and export fixes

• True export colors - Exports now use the BT.709 color standard they are tagged with, so backgrounds, captions and overlays match the colors you picked in the editor.
• Correct frames in playback and export - Fixed decoders that sometimes showed the wrong frame on macOS (including a camera that could run far ahead in long exports), Windows and Linux. Also fixed stale frames in cross-fades and after seeks, and the frame-before-the-requested-one bug.
• Export under load - Exports keep every frame in order even when the machine is busy.
• Windows export judder - Exports no longer hold a frame too long and then jump ahead.
• Smaller macOS exports - macOS exports could come out up to 3x larger than needed. They now use a 2 second keyframe interval and match the size estimate.
• Captions in exports - Captions that appear in the editor now always appear in exports. Deleting a caption word no longer cuts footage. Unicode captions break correctly.
• Closing titles - Fullscreen titles placed at the very end of a video now play and export.
• Audio editing - Changing audio sync offsets updates playback immediately and moves the waveform with them. Trimming the start of an audio track keeps the remaining audio in place.
• Auto zoom - Auto zooms land at the right time on multi-take, trimmed or speed-changed timelines, and frame an idle cursor before it moves.
• Mask timing - Mask animations follow clip speed changes.
• Image backgrounds - Image backgrounds are re-cropped when you change the aspect ratio.
• Adding clips - Recording or importing a new clip keeps your place on the timeline. Imported videos keep their final frame.
• Odd-sized videos - Videos with odd widths or heights keep correct colors at the edges.
• Cross-platform projects - Projects recorded on Windows open on macOS and Linux, keyboard overlays included.
• MOV and GIF - Full MOV exports from Automations and the CLI include the recording, not just the background. Cancelled GIF exports no longer leave a broken file.

App fixes

• Global shortcuts - Shortcuts keep working after the first target picker opens. Screenshot shortcuts from another app bring the editor to the front. Recording shortcuts no longer fail on a window that no longer exists.
• Microphone released - Cap releases the microphone when its main window is hidden, so the mic indicator turns off.
• Memory - Closing the editor frees its memory (about 100 MB per open before). Fixed a camera blur and background removal leak of up to 1.4 GB per minute on macOS. The caption model no longer holds 2 GB after captions finish.
• Mac sleep - An open, idle editor no longer keeps your Mac from sleeping.
• Sign-in - Sign-in completes even when the browser responds slowly. Only one sign-in runs at a time, and signing out stays signed out.
• Screen Recording permission - Stale permission grants after an update are detected, so Cap guides you through granting again instead of failing to record.
• Instant uploads - Live uploads survive brief network failures, and quitting Cap no longer uses up upload retries.
• Settings saves - Saving settings at the same moment as a background update no longer loses a change.
• Touch Bar Macs - Fixed a crash when starting a recording on Intel MacBook Pros with a Touch Bar.
• No startup flash - The main window no longer flashes before onboarding on first launch.
• Windows - The ✕ button closes to the tray and releases the camera. Launching Cap again brings the running window back. Restarting or shutting down no longer triggers an "exited unexpectedly" warning. Overlays and recording controls now appear on the correct monitor when displays use different scaling. Updating from 0.6.0 asks you to close the old native app instead of failing.
• Linux - Studio export and editor audio work with comma-decimal locales such as pt_BR. The tray can stop a recording when Wayland global shortcuts are unavailable (GNOME 50). Packages declare their glibc 2.39 requirement instead of failing on launch.
• CLI - cap record --mode instant uses a start gate for proper sync and no longer locks the camera on macOS. --json returns JSON for validation errors.

Performance

• Faster exports - macOS hardware exports are 18–27% faster, with about 11% less CPU. Export audio is encoded on its own thread (with AudioToolbox on macOS). ProRes MOV exports use every core, about 4x faster.
• Windows speed - Editor playback decoding is about 3x faster, 1080p60 exports are 23% faster, and recording uses about 20% less CPU.
• Linux speed - X11 recording at 1080p reaches about 59 fps (from 41). Instant camera overlays render 4–9x faster, and video decoding uses multiple threads.
• Faster editor opening - The first frame of long projects appears up to 3.8x sooner. Recording details are read from file headers, and project files with long transcripts load about 2.5x faster.
• Smoother editing - Scrubbing, live appearance edits and zoom changes on long recordings no longer slow down as the playhead moves later. Captions render up to 7.6x faster and keyboard overlays 2.8x faster. Long clip lists stay responsive.
• Faster Studio stop - Finalization checks run in parallel, audio is validated during the remux, and the GPU device is ready before you stop.
• Camera effects - Background blur and removal use less than half the CPU on macOS.
• Captions - Preparing captions for long recordings uses hundreds of MB less memory.
• Imports and screenshots - Video imports are up to 1.9x faster. Screenshots save faster by encoding PNGs on multiple cores. Copying unannotated screenshots is 8x faster, and the first text annotation export is 24x faster.
• Library - Recordings and Recents load with 80% less scanning in large libraries, tray thumbnails load in 20 ms instead of 1.6 s, and settings thumbnails decode in parallel.
• Uploads - Multipart uploads reuse connections, and Instant share links are confirmed sooner after you stop.
• Lower idle CPU - Hidden windows and an idle target picker stop redrawing. The recording bar repaints only when it changes, and the mic meter runs off the main thread. Global shortcuts no longer wake Linux 20 times a second.

Fixes

• Recording recovery - Recover complete fragments after interruptions; preserve footage through failed saves.
• Low storage - Warn and leave room to finish recording; guard exports against low disk space or memory.
• Device reconnection - Restore selected mic/camera after reconnection and keep camera placement.
• Recording start - Capture begins as soon as the start sound ends in both apps.
• Playback and audio - Sound starts with video; muted clips and clip volume carry through export.
• Edits stay aligned - Captions, keyboard overlays, zooms, titles and cursors stay aligned after cuts and in exports.
• Static recordings - Still captures retain their full duration through the moment you stop.
• Imports and thumbnails - Keep clips and audio in place; refresh thumbnails after edits.
• App switching - Safer updates, relaunches and app switching during active work.
• macOS capture - Fixed picker freezes and improved capture and permission recovery.
• Windows - Fixed black native export previews, window controls, virtual cameras and capture cards.
• Linux - Wayland/X11 capture the right target; mic and system audio stay separate. Added DEB, RPM, AppImage and Arch packages.
• Camera effects - Cleaner background blur and cutout edges.

Performance

• Faster editing - Quicker pickers and recording finish; smoother playback and scrubbing.
• Lighter media work - Frame reuse reduces memory and temporary files during imports, camera effects and exports.
• Platform speed - Faster Windows graphics startup; Linux NVIDIA encoding with fallback.

Features

• MacBook notch overlay in Studio Mode - Screen capture records straight through the physical notch, so recordings of a notched MacBook show an unbroken menu bar where you saw a cutout. Studio Mode can now draw the notch back over the recording, in both the editor preview and exports, and it follows your crop, padding, and zoom automatically. New recordings capture the exact notch geometry at record time; for older recordings you can position the overlay by hand.

Fixes

• Recordings no longer stop mid-way with a writer error on macOS - When screen or microphone capture briefly stalled and then recovered in a burst, two frames could land on the same timestamp and the video writer would fail a few seconds later, ending the recording with an error. Frame timing is now corrected before it reaches the writer, so the recording continues. This affected instant, studio, and camera recordings, and was most likely with USB microphones whose capture clock can stall.
• The same timing issue fixed for instant recordings on Windows - Frames arriving in a burst could collide on a single timestamp tick and be rejected by the recorder. Timestamps are now kept strictly increasing, and a stuck capture clock is surfaced in logs instead of failing silently.
• Pause and resume reliability on macOS - Pausing a recording could occasionally produce overlapping frame timings that made the writer fail sporadically after resume. Recordings now survive repeated pause and resume cycles, including stopping while paused.
• Disk-space protection for every recording mode - Previously only instant recordings checked disk space. Every mode, including the camera track, now refuses to start without enough free space, warns when space runs low mid-recording, and stops cleanly before the disk fills so your recording is finalized and playable instead of corrupted.
• Camera recordings survive encoder errors - If the camera encoder hits an error mid-recording, the camera file is now finalized up to that point instead of being left unreadable.
• Fixed a freeze during the macOS screen-recording permission check - A deadlock in the permission check could hang the app when starting a recording.

Features

• API keys for the CLI - Generate API keys from your account settings on the Cap dashboard and set the CAP_API_KEY environment variable to authenticate the Cap CLI without a browser login. This makes it possible to run Cap in CI, on remote servers, and with agents in headless environments. You can list and revoke your keys from the dashboard at any time.
• Confirm before recording without a microphone - Cap now asks for confirmation before starting a recording when no microphone is selected or the selected microphone is unavailable, so you never finish a take only to find it silent. It is on by default and can be turned off in Settings under General.
• Exclude floating panels from recordings on macOS - The excluded-windows picker in Settings now lists floating accessory panels, like quick launchers and utility palettes, so you can keep them out of your recordings too.

Fixes

• Recordings with a damaged mic track open again - A recording whose microphone audio file was empty or unreadable previously refused to open in the editor at all. The editor now opens the recording without the mic audio and logs a warning instead, and exports still validate audio strictly so a track is never silently dropped from a final file.
• Memory growth while idle on macOS - Routine permission checks queried the display list every few seconds and leaked a small amount of memory each time, which could add up to significant usage over long sessions. This is fixed, along with smaller leaks in camera enumeration, display name and scale lookups, microphone device names, and the mic volume meter.
• Recording start feedback - Clicking record from the target picker now shows a loading state immediately instead of appearing to do nothing while the recording starts.
• Window screenshots on Windows - Taking a screenshot of a window no longer fails because the picker window closed itself before the capture was dispatched.
• Editor playback with background music - Playback audio now works when your timeline has music but no recorded audio track.
• Mic volume meter accuracy - The microphone level meter no longer stalls or grows memory when an audio device's capture clock freezes.

Performance

• Lighter instant recordings on macOS - Instant recordings now capture at a size matched to the output resolution instead of the display's full Retina resolution, reducing CPU and memory use on high-density displays.
• Faster camera preview during instant recordings - The camera preview streams frames in a more efficient format while instant recording, lowering preview overhead.

Features

• Live transcript while uploading - Viewers who open a share link mid-upload see the transcript appear live as the recording is spoken, then hand off seamlessly to the final version.
• Instant transcript at load - Landing on a finished Cap shows the transcript immediately instead of a processing spinner.
• Live captions on the player - Captions are available on the share page player as soon as they exist, without restarting playback.
• Transcript tab front and center - Landing on the share page right after stopping a recording opens the Transcript tab automatically.

Features

• New dashboard and library - Redesigned tabs with a cleaner shell and a floating glass tab bar for browsing your Caps.
• Refreshed recording and uploads - An extended record screen with clearer upload status, background upload queueing, and progress toasts.
• Redesigned Cap detail and sharing - A new detail view with quicker sharing, and shared Caps open straight into fullscreen playback.
• Sign in with Apple - Apple sign-in joins the existing login options.
• Loom import - Bring your Loom videos into Cap from your phone.
• Account and analytics - New account settings and per-Cap analytics screens.

Features

• Cap works end to end with AI agents - Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, and any shell-capable agent can now use Cap through the expanded CLI, installable Cap skill, and local MCP server. After a secure browser login, your agent can record, export, upload, and share; read titles, transcripts, AI summaries, chapters, comments, reactions, views, permissions, and processing state; search and organize your library; inspect analytics; and manage collaboration, teams, storage, migrations, and developer workflows without using the dashboard. Commands return machine-readable JSON, changes require your confirmation, and secrets stay out of chat and MCP. Set up Cap for your agent with one copy-paste prompt.
• Built-in teleprompter - Open a dedicated teleprompter from the main window, paste or type your script, and control auto-scroll speed, text size, opacity, cue markers, and mirrored text. Your script and settings are saved between sessions, the window stays above other apps, and Cap keeps it out of recordings on macOS and Windows.
• Clip transitions - Add crossfades or fades through black between clips, then adjust the transition length directly from the timeline. Transitions are included in editor playback and final exports.
• Expandable capture window with Recents - Expand the main window for a roomier capture setup with clearer camera, microphone, and system-audio controls, plus a carousel of recent recordings and screenshots that open in one click. Cap remembers your preferred window size, and macOS 26 uses the native Liquid Glass appearance.
• Reusable area capture - Area recording now includes quick aspect-ratio presets, fill and reset controls, and the option to lock a region for future recordings. The controls stay outside the selected area so they do not cover what you are capturing.
• Blur and pixelate masks - Sensitive-area masks can now use either a smooth blur or pixelation, with adjustable strength for each effect.
• Audio controls for retimed clips - When slowing down or speeding up a clip, choose whether to mute its audio, preserve natural voice pitch, or let the pitch follow the playback speed.
• Copyable app version - Click the version number in Settings to copy it when reporting an issue or checking which build is installed.

Fixes

• Windows pause and resume reliability - Pausing a recording for more than a few seconds no longer triggers a false hardware-encoder timeout when you resume.
• Camera background blur startup - Packaged desktop builds now locate the bundled background-blur runtime correctly, making camera blur initialize more reliably.
• Existing recording imports on Windows - The clips sidebar can now select Cap recording folders correctly when importing an existing recording.
• Safer macOS window positioning - The main window is kept below the menu bar and display notch so its controls remain reachable.
• Clearer crop editing - Crop guides have stronger contrast against both light and dark recording backgrounds.

Performance

• Smoother playback and scrubbing - The editor cancels outdated frame work sooner, keeps active decoders ready across seeks, and avoids prefetching frames that are already behind the playhead.
• Faster media lists - Recordings and screenshots reuse their calculated sort times, reducing repeated filesystem work when loading the library and Recents.

Features

• Mute your mic mid-recording - The mic icon in the recording bar is now a mute toggle during instant recordings, so you can silence your microphone without stopping the recording. System audio keeps recording as normal.
• Nightly update channel - Opt into nightly builds from Settings to get the newest changes early. Nightly updates install automatically in the background and prompt you to restart when ready, and switching back to stable returns you to the latest stable release.
• 24 and 25 FPS capture options - The max capture framerate setting now includes 24 and 25 FPS for film and PAL-friendly workflows.

Fixes

• Recordings no longer stop after a few seconds - Reopening the recording bar for a new instant recording could carry over stale state from a previous session and trip the recording limit almost immediately. The bar now fully resets between recordings.
• Recording start clicks no longer vanish - Clicking record from the target picker could silently do nothing while the windows closed around it. The click is now handled reliably, and if a recording fails to start, the main window reappears with a clear error message.
• Slow-motion recordings repaired - Recordings on high-refresh-rate Windows monitors could come out stretched and out of sync with their audio. New recordings capture at the correct speed, and affected existing recordings are automatically repaired when opened in the editor, keeping the original file as a backup.
• Better mic sync - Microphone timestamps now account for measured input latency, macOS resolves the correct input device when measuring it, and a macOS timestamp conversion bug affecting audio alignment has been fixed.
• Multi-monitor and mixed-DPI fixes - Windows now restore, center, and follow correctly across monitors with different display scaling, overlays size correctly on HiDPI Windows setups, and moving a window between monitors with different scaling no longer breaks its layout.
• Update toast fits the window - The "update installed, restart to apply" toast no longer overflows the main window and clips its text and buttons.
• Integrations page when signed out - The integrations settings page no longer errors when you are not signed in.

Features

• Custom recordings folder - Choose where Cap saves local recordings from Settings.
• Manual scene layout - Drag and resize the screen, camera, text, masks, and captions directly on the canvas, with snapping guides for cleaner placement.
• Floating scene mode - Build layouts where screen and camera elements can float independently instead of being locked to the previous scene presets.
• Decorative frames - Add frame styling around recordings and adjust frame settings from the player toolbar.
• Better text editing - Text boxes resize more naturally, preserve font sizing separately from the box, choose readable colors automatically, and open inline editing right after you add a text segment.
• Faster timeline edits - New text and track segments are created at the playhead, selected immediately, and placed with fewer extra clicks.
• Clearer zoom editing - Automatic and manual zoom segments are labeled, locked zoom areas explain how to edit them, and zoom behavior is easier to tune.
• Smoother cursor, zoom, and motion blur - Zooms now use spring-based motion, re-aim more accurately from cursor movement, reach screen corners better, and render cursor and display motion blur more naturally.

Fixes

• A/V sync fixes - Recording, encoding, playback, and editor preview timestamps have been hardened so audio and video stay aligned more reliably.
• System audio fixes - Windows system audio stays on the recording timeline even when audio is intermittent or silent.
• macOS microphone fix - 96 kHz microphones on macOS no longer produce incorrect audio duration in recordings.
• Windows recording fixes - The target picker no longer leaves ghost overlays after recording, preview sync is more accurate, and hardware H.264 encoders are tested before recording uses them.
• Screenshot clipboard fix - Copied screenshots on Windows use a white background when needed instead of showing transparency artifacts.
• Upload recovery fixes - Desktop upload finalization can retry final segment manifests, recover Google Drive uploads more reliably, and rotate failed recovery candidates.
• Changelog and license fixes - Settings pages now handle API responses more reliably, refresh license state correctly, and keep changelog rendering errors contained.
• Camera and GPU recovery fixes - macOS camera capture can fall back when the system returns no frames, graphics recovery only runs for relevant startup failures, and restarting after a discarded recording stays responsive.
• Camera privacy fix - Opening the editor releases the idle camera feed so the OS camera indicator does not stay on unnecessarily.
• Mic error UX - Missing microphone errors now show a toast instead of blocking the recording flow.
• Editor interaction fixes - The playhead snaps cleanly to the timeline origin, masks no longer show unwanted fill tints, and add-track popovers close and restore focus correctly.

Performance

• Faster editor launch - App windows show earlier with the right background color, the first frame is pre-rendered, waveforms lazy-load, and editor layout handshakes are warmed before opening.
• Faster playback start - Background audio decoding, persistent audio output, progressive audio pre-rendering, and bounded buffering reduce the wait after pressing play.
• Faster rendering and export setup - Screen and camera decoders initialize together, background audio decodes finish before export, and file exports skip unnecessary transparency scans.
• Smoother app startup - Fonts and emoji warm at app mount, bundled fonts render more consistently, and window-open fade animations were removed to avoid slow-looking transitions.

Features

• Screenshot sharing - Upload screenshots directly from the screenshot editor or automations. The editor copies the share link after upload, automation rules can copy or open it, and rendered PNG or JPEG uploads preserve your annotations, crop, padding, background, and style settings.
• Desktop automations - Create rules in Settings that run after screenshots, recordings, uploads, imports, and deleted recordings. Automations can copy, save, export, upload, open files, read screenshot text, show notifications, open or skip the editor, apply presets, run commands, send webhooks, and delete local files.
• CLI automation support - CLI screenshots, finished recordings, and uploads can now run compatible desktop automation rules, and cap doctor can report automation rule counts.
• Linux CLI and capture support - Linux support has been expanded across the CLI, desktop capture, native X11 recording, tray icons, package dependencies, and release handling.
• Clips and in-editor recording - Record new clips from inside the editor, view clip thumbnails, see clip counts, and manage clip-based edits more easily.
• Audio library and music tracks - Add bundled music or imported audio to a recording, edit audio segments on the timeline, and mix music tracks into MP4 exports.
• Caption styling and exports - Apply caption presets, animations, and highlight styles, track caption model download progress, and export captions as SRT or VTT.
• Manual caption positioning - Drag captions directly in the preview and place them exactly where you want them.
• Better transcript editing - Edit transcript words and create captions from transcript text more easily.
• Improved captions - Caption segmentation, punctuation, text fitting, source-timed captions, and final rendering are more accurate.
• Live crop preview - The crop flow now includes a live GPU preview with a clearer side-by-side layout.
• Better screenshot workflows - New screenshots start transparent, screenshot OCR works in automations, images can be imported from the system tray, and transparent screenshot exports stay transparent.
• Content protection while recording - Desktop window content protection turns on when recording starts and turns off when recording stops.
• Plan-based instant mode resolution - Instant mode resolution now follows the user's plan.

Fixes

• More reliable screenshot uploads - Screenshot uploads can reuse an existing share link when the rendered content has not changed, and automation uploads now use the dedicated screenshot upload path.
• Recording finalization fixes - Recording startup, stop, dead CLI sessions, incomplete project validation, and editor imports after recording finish are handled more reliably.
• Caption reliability fixes - Caption settings load more safely, source-timed captions survive import and editing, long transcription jobs are less likely to exhaust memory, and caption project folders are detected more reliably.
• Screenshot and crop fixes - Transparent screenshot exports stay transparent, screenshot previews wait for their first paint, and image imports no longer wake the main window unnecessarily.
• Rendering artifact fixes - Per-clip camera size, display aspect ratio, cursor highlights, and source-timed captions render more accurately.
• Multi-monitor Windows fixes - Capture area sizing and target picker overlays behave more reliably on HiDPI and multi-monitor Windows setups.
• Target picker overlay fixes - Target picker overlays restore correctly after Settings, clean up on recording start and stop, and avoid stealing focus.
• Offscreen window recovery - The main window and Settings window recentre themselves if they would otherwise open offscreen.
• Linux recording fixes - Linux capture handles display geometry, missing active displays, WebKit rendering issues, and corrupted PipeWire frames more reliably.
• Camera preview fixes - Camera preview fallbacks are safer, low-RAM machines use a lighter preview profile, and routine disconnects are less noisy.
• Offline sharing fixes - Sharing while offline now shows a clearer error and avoids duplicate dialogs.
• Updater fixes - Update checks use platform-specific endpoints and show clearer fallback download behavior.
• Crash marker fix - Crash reporting is more accurate when the previous desktop session ended unexpectedly.

Performance

• Faster screenshot editor startup - Screenshot rendering starts faster, backgrounds are cached, wallpaper previews warm before selection, and the editor waits for first paint before showing previews.
• Faster camera previews - Camera preview rendering does less unnecessary frame work, handles websocket previews more efficiently, and supports low-spec preview limits.
• Smaller background snapshots - Desktop background snapshots are capped, compressed, and healed when oversized to reduce project size and memory use.
• Faster editor timelines - Off-screen timeline segments are virtualized for smoother editing in larger projects.
• Faster crop previews - Crop previews use downscaled frames so crop editing feels more responsive.
• Faster editor startup - Editor startup, screenshot rendering, and audio repair now run more work in parallel.
