Beam 0.5.9

Added

  • Reuse customized shapes, arrows and speech bubbles across Screenshot and video projects. Their picker libraries include artwork previews, Add and Delete controls, and retain geometry, colors, borders, text and shadows. Each insertion creates an independent copy fitted to the current canvas.
  • Customize Screenshot's dock with remembered shortcuts, drag-and-drop reordering with dashed insertion markers, Alt+Left/Right keyboard moves, right-click removal and hover/click scroll arrows. Arrow is included by default; optional grouping tools remain available in More.
  • Screenshot's View menu shows the actual canvas zoom percentage and offers Fit to Window, Actual Size (100%), Zoom In and Zoom Out.
  • Screenshot and video share precise crop measurements and editable top, bottom, left, right, width and height fields in pixels or percentages.
  • Copied playback reports include recording health, Windows encoder attempts and timings, MP4 structure, file sizes and machine details. Export reports include the failing operation, frame/time, codec error and nearby custom 3D zoom settings.

Changed

  • Windows recordings allow up to one minute for encoder finalization. The editor-preparation window explains longer waits after 15 seconds before proceeding to project loading.

Fixed

  • Video exports preserve the selected background behind cropped recordings, matching the preview instead of leaving a dark strip.
  • Crop confirmation stays visible while zooming or panning and keeps its OK label in compact toolbars. Screenshot crops retain one-pixel precision instead of expanding small crops to a 5% minimum.
  • Screenshot images start centered, shrink to fit when oversized and remain at 100% when smaller. Manual zoom survives resizing without changing export dimensions, and the selected background fills unused window space without pale side bands.
  • 3D camera pans reuse scene surfaces and GPU textures instead of reallocating them for one-pixel rounding changes, preserving framing and text clarity.
  • Failed export reports retain the last known progress instead of resetting to zero frames.
  • Opening a popover immediately hides its trigger tooltip until it closes. Screenshot's dock menu separates Remove from toolbar and Reset toolbar with a divider and extra spacing.
  • The Vietnamese tray menu uses “Mở màn hình chính” instead of “Mở HUD”. New editor controls are translated into all fifteen supported languages.
