Tonight, I released a new version of my project ScreenStudio. If you don't know what is ScreenStudio, it's an open source software that lets you record your computer display and stream it live to services like Twitch or Hitbox.
Last years, after releasing the version 1.6, my computer crashed so hard that I had to reformat everything, losing the latest source code I had written. I had to revert to the version 1.5 which was a bit too unstable for my taste.
After a short break, I decided to start from scratch, avoiding the pitfalls I had encounter while coding the version 1.5. Then, after testing new ideas and concepts, I started a brand new ScreenStudio 2 and tonight, a beta version is available for download.
You can get it at http://ScreenStudio.crombz.com.
What's new in ScreenStudio 2?
- Simple interface
- A side panel to display the overlay and webcam
- Interactive panel content that can be updated while recording/streaming
- Text tags for displaying remaining time, current date, etc...
- Less dependencies
- Based on FFMpeg instead of AVConv
- No more complex configuration files
- Better webcam Intégration
- Easy on the CPU so it will work on an underpowered computer
The whole idea was to have a side panel instead of having overlays. Basically, you can to record/stream your whole desktop and not cluster it with overlaid banners and webcam. ScreenStudio is actually adding a small overlay to the right of your display making the video a bit wider than your screen. This does ensure that your viewers will see 100% of what's happening on your screen while seeing your personal content on the right side.
The version 2.0.3 is considered a beta and may be unstable. It is currently available of Ubuntu 15.10 and a version for OS X will be available soon.
Binaries and source code is available in the download section.
