About pre-releases (read me!)

Before you download and use a pre-release version, make sure to check the READ ME article to know how to use pre-release versions and their limitations.

Warnings! 

MovieRecorder is a paid upgrad

After more than eight years of MovieRecorder 4, and a long run of continuous feature additions at no cost, we’ve reached a point where a major new release (with major new features) makes sense as a paid upgrade. Contact us if you need more info on the upgrade procedure and planning.

Early beta with major changes in the recording engine.

This version of MovieRecorder and MovieRecorder Express is an early beta and includes significant changes to the recording engine. It may be less stable than other pre-releases, so please use it with extra caution. Issues may occur.
