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.

You can add up to 255 overlays using right mouse button click on preview or dashboard.

PlayClaw 6 supports interactive mode with overlays (if overlay can do it). Double click on overlay opens a "door".

Overlays have a set of common settings. Some of them are new for PlayClaw.

PlayClaw 6 supports Scenes management. You can prepare scene for every your game or streaming mode and just switch them in one-two clicks.

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.
