Radcap is now at version 1.0.4 – quite a bit has changed since 1.0.2 (public release) so thanks to everyone who submitted their issues and/or feature requests. Specifically, 1.0.4 fixes two annoying bugs with 1.0.3’s new MP4 video format support.
- Recording crash fix — Fixed a crash (SIGABRT) that occurred when recording after switching between video formats (MOV ↔ mp4) while Audio-only Format was set to WAV. Audio settings are now derived from AVFoundation’s recommended defaults for each container, which are always valid and match your microphone’s native sample rate.
- Renamed “Audio Format” → “Audio-only Format” — The label in Settings more clearly reflects that this setting applies to audio-only recordings, not to the audio track in video recordings.
Changed in 1.0.3
- Video format picker — Choose between MOV and MP4 in Settings → Output. Both use H.264; MP4 improves compatibility with YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and non-Apple players. MOV remains the default.
Changed in 1.0.2
- Clean recording start – Fixed a ~1.5-second frozen-frame glitch at the beginning of every recording. The teleprompter HUD preview layer now initializes during the countdown, not at the moment recording begins, so the first frame is sharp.
- Menubar recording indicator – The menu bar icon switches to a red recording dot (⏺) while recording is active. Click it once to stop; no menu required.
- Smarter recording start – Duplicate Record clicks during the countdown are now ignored. If the writer can’t create the output file for any reason, an alert explains what went wrong instead of failing silently.
- Capture performance – Cropped recordings reuse the pixel buffer pool instead of allocating a new buffer every frame. Voice-activity detection no longer runs when Radcap is idle.
- Accessibility – Reduce Transparency and Reduce Motion settings are now respected in the teleprompter HUD.
