PlayClaw 5 - Game Recording and Streaming

The amazing PlayClaw video capture tool gives customers incredible power!PlayClaw has been designed to make full use of multi-core processors and hardware accelerated H.264 codecs, which ensures the outstanding quality of the output with a minimal impact on system performance.

We worked hard to prepare this major update. Or, may be, almost new software - PlayClaw 6. We've changed the core of our software a bit. Overlays are the very important thing, other features are just useful "addons". Here is how PlayClaw 6 looks after the first start.

Double click on overlay opens a "door". [i]Interactive with browser overlay[/i] [img]http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/5066236/fd431041a727ab63657f00f95b1f450fb52a8e48.png[/img] Overlays have a set of common settings. Some of them are new for PlayClaw. [i]Render layer to draw specific overlay over or under others[/i] [img]http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/5066236/a8c3b02d26b8c302dac78409e3d465de999af9e2.png[/img] [i]Visibility mode for every overlay[/i] [img]http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/5066236/7f6d617ca2430307966c97a2db5bd5c525943e25.png[/img] PlayClaw 6 supports Scenes management. You can prepare scene for every your game or streaming mode and just switch them in one-two clicks. [i]Scenes management[/i] [img]http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/5066236/44f560eb581790b0587a9ef5ffb98fe32714a843.png[/img] We've optimized our capture and encoding engine and version 6 does its job 2x faster than version 5. FPS drop during capture is very low, really. [b]This beta has limited set of available overlays.[/b] This beta can have bugs :) This beta is free for all PlayClaw 5 steam owners. We plan to make paid upgrade to v6, but it will cost only a few USD. To install this beta you need to open software properties in Steam client and select "version-6" beta in Betas tab. Steam will start download after closing properties window. [img]http://cdn.edgecast.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/5066236/aa27b0c31ac1dfb3f8804515a89e907a2366cddb.png[/img]
