Useful Features Request!

[7Wdev]

Hi, I really love this piece of software, best tool ever!.

I'm using Cap on Windows 11 and wanted to propose a few feature enhancements around studio video overlays, cursor customization, granular per-slice controls, and multi-source recording to make the editor even more powerful.

Proposed Features

1. Layered Media Overlays (Images & Video)

• Image & Video Support: Ability to import image (.png, .jpg, .svg) and video (.mp4, .webm, .gif) assets directly onto the canvas.
• Layer Hierarchy (Z-Index): Flexible layer ordering so overlays can sit on top of screen recordings while remaining underneath the webcam bubble.
• Canvas Transforms: Interactive handles to resize, crop, rotate, and reposition overlays freely.

2. Expanded Camera Framing & Border Styling

• More Frame Shapes: Additional presets beyond circle/square (e.g., heart, star, vertical pill, hexagon...).
• Border Customization: Controls for border width, solid/gradient colors, drop shadow intensity, and glow effects...

3. Custom Cursor SVG Packs

• Ability to import custom .svg asset packs for the cursor.

4. Per-Slice / Per-Segment Property Controls

Allow split segments (cuts) on the timeline to hold independent configuration overrides:

• Cursor Settings: Toggle cursor visibility on/off, change size, or switch between normal pointer and circle mode per clip.
• Camera & Audio States: Show/hide camera bubble, reposition the camera, or mute/unmute audio per sliced segment without affecting all clips.
  and all other settings in general...

5. Multi-Window / Multi-Source Recording & Dynamic Layouts

• Simultaneous Capture: Ability to record multiple distinct application windows at once (up to 3–4 sources).
• Editor Layouts & Presets: Flexible arrangements in the editor including side-by-side split screen, grid view, Picture-in-Picture (PiP), and layered canvas positioning with independent scaling.

Thanks in advance for considering these!
