New pointers, brighter backgrounds, clip speed, and two export fixes for anyone whose videos have a slowed-down part.

New

Three new pointers.

  • Agent: a coloured arrow with a white outline, now the default. Pick its colour under Motion → Cursor.
  • Halo: a small dot with a thin ring that floats a moment behind it and tightens on each click.
  • Star: a gold sparkle with a short comet tail and a burst of sparkles on each click.

Capture and the editor now list the same pointers, in the same order.

Glide calms fast, jumpy pointer moves into smooth ones that still land on every click. Spotlight gently dims the recording away from the pointer, so eyes follow it.

Clip speed. Split the timeline around a slow part, select the piece, and pick 0.5×, 1.5×, 2× or 4× in the bar under the video. It eases in and out, so the change doesn't jump.

Click timing. If the screen reacts after the click in your recording, slide Motion → Cursor → Click timing until the click lands as the button changes. It moves the pointer, clicks and zooms together.

Backgrounds.

  • Seven bright new ones: Neon, Prism, Sunburst, Electric, Citrus, Holo and Candy.
  • The panel is now grouped into Bright, Calm, Light and Themes.
  • Your own folder: pictures in Pictures/ScreenPolish show up in the Background panel automatically.

Fixed

Exports could hang forever when a video had a slowed-down part. They now finish.

Exports could fail with "Invalid data" on clips that ease into and out of a speed change.

Tilted frames had jagged edges and faint lines where the picture is drawn in slices. Both are gone.

Planned takes ran too long when started with the main Record button. They now stop at the planned length.

Halo and Star replace click ripples with their own click effect, instead of drawing two rings.
