Based on feedback we got from our users, we are pleased to announce the following new product updates:
Exporting Recordings as WEBM videos or animated GIFs
A popular request among our users was to provide the ability to export recordings as native video files. The latest Cubicast Chrome add-on now offers this functionality in a straightforward way.
Just open any recording in a new tab and hit the download icon. For the time being, mainly due to API limitations, this functionality is available only if using the Chrome add-on.
Furthermore, the settings tab now includes a new section for controlling the export format and quality.
Before exporting a recording as an animated GIF, make sure you resize your browser tab to the desired output image dimension, otherwise the process will be slower and you will probably end up with a large file size.
For a quick comparison see a sample recording in three different formats.
This is the original recording:
Exported and uploaded to YouTube using medium quality setting:
And last an animated GIF with low frame rate:
It goes without saying, that the original recording scores higher in terms of quality and size.
Capturing Popups
Our latest standalone recorder script now supports popups capturing. So if your web application
relies on popups (by using window.open
commands) the recorder will capture the newly
focused window and at the same time it will pause recording on the window which lost focus.
For this to work correctly, two things should be true for the popup:
- The popup should be served from the same top level domain.
- Our embed snippet is included in the popup.
We hope you find this new features useful!
