Description
Summary
A new overlay track in the timeline that lets users place images and video clips on top of their screen recording at precise time ranges, positioned and sized freely.
Key Features
- Overlay track — a second track rendered above the section track in the timeline UI, for placing, trimming, splitting, and selecting overlay media items
- Drag-and-drop import — drop image or video files onto the editor canvas to add them. Files are copied into the project folder
- Free-placement on canvas — overlay media is draggable and corner-resizable, drawn between the screen recording and PIP camera in z-order. Overflow beyond canvas is allowed (grayed in editor, clipped in render)
- Per-mode positioning — each overlay segment stores independent position/size for landscape and reel modes, following the
savedLandscape/savedReelpattern - Overlay splitting — overlays can be split at the playhead, creating two segments referencing the same source file with independent position/size
- Video overlay playback — video overlays play in sync with the timeline, with
sourceStart/sourceEndto control which part of the source plays - Smooth transitions — overlays fade in/out at their time boundaries and interpolate position/size between split segments (0.3s)
- FFmpeg render support — overlay media composited as additional inputs with time-bounded, positioned overlay filters between the screen base and PIP camera
- Reference-counted file management — same media file can be used by multiple segments without duplication. Files are staged to
.deleted/only when all references are removed - Overlay audio muted — video overlay audio is not included in the output
Why
Users recording screen presentations often need to show supplementary visual content — images, diagrams, or video clips — while narrating. Previously the only visual layers were the screen recording and PIP camera.
