What's new since openscreen

Capturia is a fork of openscreen, re-baselined onto upstream v1.10.0. Everything in the table below arrived after that baseline, in Capturia 2.1 and 2.2. Feature names link to the page that documents them.

Area recordingWhole screen or one windowDrag a rectangle on a screen and record just that. Not offered on Linux.
Area selection overlay
Saved looksNot in 1.10Save background, effects, cursor and caption styling as a named look; star one as the default for new projects.
Saved looks popover
Zooms at flagged momentsNo way to mark a moment while recordingFlag a moment from the HUD while recording; auto-enhance turns each flag into one zoom.
Timeline with zooms on the flagged moments
Right-click region menu + paste attributesCtrl/Cmd + C / V only — the menu was open as upstream #24Copy, Paste at playhead, Delete on a region pill; Split at playhead on a clip; Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + V pastes attributes onto a region you already have.
Right-click menu on a region
Poster thumbnailsRecent projects listed without poster framesEach recent project shows a frame grabbed from its own footage.
Open project dialog with poster frames
Speech-model choiceOne built-in Whisper model, not configurableFast, Balanced, or Accurate — switch without losing existing transcripts.
Speech model cards
Recordings folderDefault location onlyPoint new takes at any folder, and reset back. Earlier recordings stay where they were saved.
Save recordings to, in HUD settings
Pre-release channelStable releases onlyGet pre-release builds in settings: opt in to release candidates, off by default.
Click highlightNot in 1.10An opt-in ring under the cursor on every recorded click, drawn by the same cursor pass in preview and export, so it follows zoom and tilt. Off by default; saved looks carry it.
Speed up idleNot in 1.10Auto-enhance lays 3× speed regions over stretches where the cursor sits still and nobody is speaking.
Export dialog memoryDefaults on every openFormat, quality, frame rate, codec, aspect ratio and GIF options come back from the last export that succeeded.
Auto-levelOpen on the roadmap as voice enhancementOne click measures the take's loudness on this device and sets the output gain so speech lands around −16 LUFS, within ±12 dB.
Linux hardware encodeSoftware H.264 encode on LinuxH.264 export goes through h264_vaapi from the compositor's own dmabuf, and falls back to software when the driver refuses the imported frame. HEVC and non-VAAPI stacks stay software-encoded.

The roadmap tracks what is still open, including the items above that are only partly done.
