Isocast 0.0.6
Isocast 0.0.6 for Apple-silicon Macs (macOS 14+). If you're on 0.0.5, Isocast › Check for Updates… installs it. Your permissions carry over.
Projectors, multiview and a vertical canvas
- Projectors: show the program, the preview, any scene or any source full screen on another display, or in a window. Right-click › Open Projector, or View › Projector. They reopen where you left them and close cleanly when a display is unplugged.
- Multiview: an OBS-style grid of preview, program and your scenes, with labels, safe areas and tally. Click a tile to preview it, double-click to cut.
- Vertical canvas: a second 9:16 canvas with its own layouts for the same sources, recorded and streamed alongside the main one. It can follow the main canvas's scene switches or run its own. Set up its streams in Settings › Stream. When your Mac runs out of encoders, the main recording and stream keep every frame and the vertical canvas gives way.
- Tally colours follow the broadcast standard everywhere: red for program, green for preview.
Edit in Isocast
- Crop in the editor: drag handles or pick 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 or 16:9. Only cropped clips are re-encoded; your originals are never touched.
- Waveforms, snapping, rolls and zoom on the timeline, and smoother playback.
- Project files: every recording folder gets a
.isoprj. Copy the folder anywhere, double-click the file, and the editor opens with your edits. Missing files show as offline and can be relinked. File › Open and Open Recent. - Open Editor After Recording (Settings › Output, off by default).
- Exports play everywhere, including HEVC exports with cuts in Chrome.
timeline export --verticalalso writes a 9:16 file.
Audio
- Audio interfaces: pick which inputs a microphone source uses (input 3 alone, inputs 3+4…). One input records as centred mono at full level. A Mono switch per source in the mixer and Advanced Audio Properties.
- Interfaces with more than two inputs now record inputs 1 + 2 by default, instead of macOS's mix of every input. This changes what those interfaces record; pick other inputs in the source's Properties.
- If a microphone disconnects or loses its input during a take, Isocast says so, and the take's details record which source stopped and when.
Reliability
- Isocast warns when another app is using the video encoders, or your Mac is under heavy load or hot, before frames drop.
- Rapid splits always write every file they announce; a refused start no longer blocks the next one.
- Busy setups no longer fail with "no hardware encoder is free" when the real problem was too many open files.
- obs-websocket treats multistream as one stream, like OBS.
