SnapBuddy 0.6.2

SnapBuddy 0.6.2 — annotate a recording, and choose when each mark appears.

Updates itself from 0.6.0 or 0.6.1. Installs of 0.5.0 or earlier still need a manual reinstall
— they predate the signing key rotation and cannot verify newer builds.

Timed annotations on recordings

Open a recording, pause where you want to make a point, and press ✏ Annotate here. You draw on
the frame you are looking at, using the same tools as a screenshot — box, arrow, text, highlight,
step number, redact.

Each mark appears at that moment and stays for three seconds. Every annotation gets a row under
the player showing its window, with in, out and always to retime it against the
playhead, and × to remove it.

Nothing is written into the video. The marks live with the card, so you can retime, move or delete
them at any point — including long after the recording was made.

Burn a copy for sharing

⬓ Burn in writes a separate …annotated.mp4 with the marks baked into the picture, for
sending to someone who does not have SnapBuddy. Your original recording is untouched and stays
editable.

Blur and pixelate are not burned in yet — they read the pixels underneath, which needs different
handling. The export tells you if it left any out rather than dropping them quietly.

A log file, for when something goes wrong

SnapBuddy now keeps a rolling log next to its settings, in
%APPDATA%\com.snapbuddy.desktop\logs. Two files: the current run and the previous one, so a
problem survives the restart that follows it. If the app ever stops responding, that folder is
what to send.

Fixes

• The release tool reported a 38 MB installer as "0 MB". Cosmetic, but it sent people looking for
  a corrupt upload.

Known issues

• The webcam bubble is still untested against a real camera — there is no camera on the machine
  this is built on. It reports a missing or blocked camera rather than showing a black circle.
• Recording more than one monitor at once is still not supported: one monitor, one window, or a
  region of one monitor.
• Trim, GIF export and burn-in are new enough that they have had little hands-on use. If one
  misbehaves, the log folder above will have something useful in it.
