A FEW THINGS TO KNOW
Before you press record.
Does ClipForge need an internet connection?+
Initial source setup downloads dependencies. The packaged desktop app records and edits locally. Opted-in analytics and submitted feedback need internet access to be delivered.
Will it record my second monitor?+
The current area selector supports the primary monitor. Multi-monitor capture and recording pause/resume are not included yet.
Will 4K output make a small capture sharper?+
No. A smaller source area is upscaled to the selected output size. Higher frame rates and resolutions also require more CPU performance.
Can I hear audio in the editor?+
The current editor preview is silent. Available audio is kept in exported videos. Open a file in your video player to check its sound.
