5.5.3
August 29, 2026
5.5.3 adds audio recording and some other quality of life changes/fixes: • Record Audio: Switch the microphone on in Recording Settings and your takes carry the room and any dialogue, so a cut doesn't need separate audio synced to it. Off by default. • Clean AR recordings by default: A recording is the camera image and your 3D scene, with none of the interface in shot by default now, previously only available to Pro subscribers. Turn on Record as a Screen Recording when you want the HUD, framelines and burn-ins in the file instead. • Reference Take: Shoot with a frameline up (Pro) and you get a second video alongside the composited take: the same footage cropped to your lens framing with the frameline drawn on it, so an editor can see exactly where the frame sat. • Full-Turn Rotation: The rotation sliders run a full turn in either direction, so a model can be wound right around rather than stopping at a half turn. • Fixes: Animation timing fixes, session interruption bug fixes.
