Afterclip 1.4.0

Afterclip 1.4.0 brings a new Edit and share window, phone sharing over Wi-Fi, gameplay recovery and a simpler clip menu.

Install

1. Download Afterclip_1.4.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it. Close Afterclip first if it's running. Your settings and clips are kept.
2. For Stream Deck keys, download com.afterclip.clips.streamDeckPlugin and double-click it. This version adds a share recipe key, so install it again if you use Stream Deck.

Coming from 1.1.0 or later? Afterclip offers this update by itself, or you can install it by hand. Coming from 1.0.0? That version has no updater, so install this one by hand.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

What's new

• Edit and share: a clip's menu is down to Edit and share, Rename, Tags and Show in folder. Edit and share opens in its own window with video playback, trimming, audio track choice, vertical copies and one-click vertical Discord sharing.
• Share recipes: save how you like to share, reframe vertical clips with pinned regions, and queue batches of clips with a saved recipe, including from a Stream Deck key.
• Multiple angles: switch between synchronized clip angles and export an edit with angle cuts.
• Redact: blank out parts of the video or audio before sharing.
• Send to your phone: share a clip to your phone over Wi-Fi with a QR code.
• Recover and import: recover recent gameplay from disk checkpoints, import existing clips, or watch a folder.
• Audio: Audio Sources shows matching Sleekmeeter and Voicemeeter channel names, and the microphone settings (Clean Mic and Push to talk) are now together in one card.
• Discord: add named channels and pick where each clip goes. Even out volume levels the audio in share copies.
• Save and star a clip in one press with a hotkey or Stream Deck key, and hover over a clip in View all to preview it.
• Protected games can be hidden when they lose focus.

Afterclip 1.3.1

Afterclip 1.3.1 makes HEVC clips play on iPhones and Macs, including in Discord.

Install

1. Download Afterclip_1.3.1_x64-setup.exe below and run it. Close Afterclip first if it's running. Your settings and clips are kept.
2. For Stream Deck keys, download com.afterclip.clips.streamDeckPlugin and double-click it. It's the same plugin as in 1.2.0 and 1.3.0, so there's no need to install it again.

Coming from 1.1.0 or later? Afterclip offers this update by itself, or you can install it by hand. Coming from 1.0.0? That version has no updater, so install this one by hand.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

What's fixed

• HEVC clips play on iPhone: clips saved with the HEVC codec were labelled in a way Apple devices refuse, so they played on PCs but not on iPhones or Macs, including in Discord. New clips are labelled the way Apple expects.
• Your older clips are fixed too: about a minute after Afterclip starts, it goes through clips saved before this update and fixes the ones that need it, without re-encoding, so the quality is exactly the same. It takes a second or two per clip, waits while a game is in front, and keeps each clip's name, date, tags and favourite.
• Codec advice: Settings, Video now says which devices can play each codec.

Good to know

• Clips saved with H.264 or AV1 were never affected, and neither were recordings.
• A clip that's open in a player while Afterclip fixes it is left alone and fixed at the next start.
• AV1 still only plays on iPhone 15 Pro and newer, and on recent PCs. For clips everyone can play, choose H.264.

Afterclip 1.3.0

Afterclip 1.3.0 adds vertical mode, to capture in 9:16 all the time, and shows what's new after each update.

Install

1. Download Afterclip_1.3.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it. Close Afterclip first if it's running. Your settings and clips are kept.
2. For Stream Deck keys, download com.afterclip.clips.streamDeckPlugin and double-click it. It's the same plugin as in 1.2.0, so there's no need to install it again.

Coming from 1.1.0 or 1.2.0? Afterclip offers this update by itself, or you can install it by hand. Coming from 1.0.0? That version has no updater, so install this one by hand.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

What's new

• Vertical mode: turn it on in Settings, Video, or for one game, and capture itself is 9:16. Clips, recordings and screenshots save vertical straight away, with no re-encoding. The picture keeps your resolution's height and shows the middle of the game, so it's the game's own pixels.
• Webcam in vertical mode: your webcam goes across the top with the game below. Switch the webcam off and the game fills the whole picture, without a restart.
• Hover previews show vertical clips properly instead of squashing them.
• What's new: after an update, Afterclip shows what changed, once. An update that's ready to install shows its notes before you install it, and the current version's notes are always in Settings, General.

Good to know

• Your normal resolution is kept, so turning vertical mode off puts things back as they were.
• Updating from 1.2.0 shows these notes when you first open the panel. Updates from 1.2.0 itself still show the old ready card, without notes, because that's the version doing the installing.

Afterclip 1.2.0

Afterclip 1.2.0 adds your webcam, push to talk, tags, and a Stream Deck that can control Afterclip on another PC. Capture now also comes back by itself if it stops.

Install

1. Download Afterclip_1.2.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it. Close Afterclip first if it's running. Your settings and clips are kept.
2. For Stream Deck keys, download com.afterclip.clips.streamDeckPlugin and double-click it.

What's new

Clipping

• Keep recording after you save: waits 3 to 15 seconds before saving, so what happens just after you press is in the clip too.
• Only buffer during games: frees memory and GPU on the desktop. The buffer starts when a game opens, and stops 10 minutes after it closes. Record works at any time.
• Your webcam: in any corner of every clip and recording, at three sizes. Switching it on or off doesn't clear the buffer. A vertical copy of a clip with your webcam puts it above the game, ready for TikTok or Shorts.
• Push to talk: your mic is only in clips while you hold a key or a mouse side button. Your game and Discord still get the press.

Library

• Tags: tag clips, then find them with the tag filter or by searching for #tag.
• Hover to preview: move the mouse across a video's thumbnail to scrub through it.
• A folder for each game: new clips, recordings and screenshots can go into a folder named after the game.

Looking after things

• Capture comes back by itself: after an encoder error, a crash or a graphics driver update, Afterclip starts capture again, waiting a little longer each time. If it had to use the CPU while a driver was being replaced, it goes back to your graphics card.
• Low disk space: a warning when your drive gets low, and a recording stops safely before it fills up.
• Export and import settings: for a reinstall or a second PC. Your Discord webhook is never in the file.
• Save diagnostics: in General, one zip of your logs and settings to attach to a problem report. Your Discord webhook and Windows user folder stay out of it, and nothing is sent anywhere.

Stream Deck

• Control another PC: for two-PC setups, turn on Allow a Stream Deck on another PC in Settings, Controls, and paste the address it shows into any key's settings on the other PC. It's off by default, and every request needs the key in that address. It works on your home network only, and the connection isn't encrypted, so don't use it on shared Wi-Fi.
• New keys: Show Your Webcam, Hold to Talk, Star Last Clip, Vertical Copy of Last Clip, Compress Last Clip and Send Last Clip to Discord.
• Stream Deck + dials: Mic Volume turns your mic up or down in clips, and the Clip Length Dial picks a length and shows how full your buffer is.

Good to know

• Your webcam's light stays on while it's shown and Afterclip is buffering. Only its picture is used, never its microphone.
• With a Stream Deck on another PC, keys act on the PC running Afterclip, so Copy Last Clip and the Open keys copy and open things there. Windows Firewall may ask once whether Afterclip can use your network: allow it on private networks.
• Not yet tried on real hardware: a Stream Deck controlling Afterclip across two real PCs, the Stream Deck + dials, push to talk in a game that runs as administrator, and recovery from a real driver update.

Afterclip 1.1.0

Afterclip now shows more of your clips, sends them to Discord, takes screenshots and works with controllers.

Install

1. Download Afterclip_1.1.0_x64-setup.exe below and run it. Close Afterclip first if it's running. Your settings and clips are kept.
2. For Stream Deck keys, download com.afterclip.clips.streamDeckPlugin and double-click it.

Coming from 1.0.0? That version has no updater, so you need to install this one by hand. Updates after this one can happen automatically.

The installer isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show a SmartScreen warning. Choose More info, then Run anyway.

What's new

• A cleaner panel: the buffer now sits in a glass card with a timer and a thin progress line, leaving room for five clips. It warns you only when frames are being lost.
• Simpler settings: eleven sections are now six: General, Video, Audio, Controls, Games, and Clips and sharing.
• Send to Discord: post a clip to a channel through a webhook. A clip over 10 MB is sent as a smaller copy.
• Compress: one click makes a smaller copy, aiming for 100 MB at up to 1080p and 60 FPS.
• Vertical copies: a 9:16 copy for phones, from the middle of the picture.
• Screenshots: PNGs from a hotkey, the panel, a controller or a Stream Deck key, with their own tab.
• Controller support: save clips and more from a controller. It's off by default. Tested on a DualSense. Xbox and Switch Pro haven't been tried on real controllers yet.
• Windowed games: a game you add under Games is captured even when it isn't fullscreen.
• Game profiles: give a game its own quality, frame rate and buffer, and record automatically when it opens.
• A better library: search, filter by game, sort, favourites, renaming and deleting several clips at once.
• Storage rules: set a storage limit, or clean up files older than a chosen age. Favourites are never touched.
• Automatic updates: signed updates download by themselves and wait until you're not in a game or recording.
• Stream Deck plugin 0.7: redesigned keys, plus open, edit, copy and screenshot keys.

Fixes and changes

• Windows rebuild themselves if WebView2 crashes.
• App data now lives in one folder, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Afterclip, and moves there automatically.

• Automatic game capture: detects fullscreen games, with monitor capture as a fallback.
