Canvid 2.0 is finally here! Packed with highly requested roadmap features and brand new AI tools to speed up your workflow, including AI Audio Retakes (BETA) and Synthetic Webcam Generation (BETA). As these features are still in beta, we’ve documented a few known issues you can check out here.

• AI Audio Replacements – Made a mistake during your recording? Highlight the transcript, record or generate new audio, and Canvid will sync it with your webcam automatically.
• Synthetic Webcam Generation – Forgot to record your webcam or just not camera ready? Create a synthetic webcam using footage from another project and AI will sync it to match.
• Show Hotkeys – Let viewers see which hotkey combinations you pressed during your recording.
• Click Effects – Add a ripple click animation to make your clicks more noticeable, no zoom needed.
• Copy Transcript – Copy your transcript as plain text or as an SRT file to use wherever you like.
• Audio Waveform Preview – See the audio waveform directly on the timeline for easier editing, navigation, and alignment.

• Fixed an issue where an error would occur upon selection of words from the transcript
• Fixed an issue where logging out wouldn't completely clear the logged in state
