• Cover art stays upright in the MP4
• Live preview shows the vis, titles, progress bar, and clock
• 2D visualizer sits flush with the bottom of the frame
• Hardware encode: AMD AMF, NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, CPU fallback

Windows

Renderbolt-1.0.8-setup.exe — 64-bit Windows 10/11. WebView2 is already on Windows 11.

Debian / Ubuntu

renderbolt_1.0.8_all.deb

sudo apt install ./renderbolt_1.0.8_all.deb

See Credits.

Renderbolt 1.0.7

Official 1.0.7 release. Windows is out.

Windows

Download Renderbolt-1.0.7-setup.exe (64-bit).

• Studio is Edge WebView2 — the UI stays responsive
• Cover, waveform, titles, and progress show in the preview
• Advanced: color squares, placement, bounce, starter looks, shuffle
• Encode: AMD AMF, NVIDIA NVENC, Intel QSV, or CPU
• FFmpeg is bundled

Windows 11 has WebView2 already. Windows 10 may need the Evergreen runtime. The installer is unsigned, so SmartScreen or Avast may warn the first time — that’s expected.

Debian / Ubuntu

sudo apt install ./renderbolt_1.0.7_all.deb
