This release delivers webcam video recording, pre/post roll video clips, expanded camera support for new Canon and Nikon models, a booth lock screen for operators, major green screen stability improvements, and dozens of fixes across the template editor, browse screen, GIF output, and sharing features.

Video Recording

  • Added video recording support for webcams, including selectable audio input and configurable output quality
  • Added pre-roll and post-roll video clips that play before and after each recorded video, plus a PNG overlay displayed on top of the recorded footage
  • Improved video processing speed — the extra delay experienced when recording the first video with pre/post roll configured is now significantly reduced
  • Fixed an issue where the "Processing" indicator did not appear during the first video recording, making the booth appear frozen on a recording counter
  • Resolved an audio sync problem when using a webcam with an external microphone alongside pre/post roll videos
  • Fixed a compatibility issue with Nikon cameras where cached pre/post roll videos were not reused between sessions, causing unnecessary re-encoding each time
  • Fixed an issue where the QR code did not appear on the sharing screen after a video was captured
  • Resolved a crash that occurred when the video option was selected with green screen enabled
  • Added recorded videos as MP4 attachments in share emails so guests can download their video directly

Green Screen

  • Fixed an issue where tapping Retake during a green screen session would apply the next background instead of the one originally shown
  • Fixed a problem preventing guests from advancing past the start screen animation when green screen was set to manual background selection
  • Fixed an issue where the wrong session-type icon appeared on the green screen background selection screen
  • Resolved a crash that occurred when "Don't Apply During Countdown" was enabled in green screen settings while using a webcam
  • Fixed live view not being mirrored after disabling the green screen effect
  • Resolved excessive memory consumption when adjusting green screen sensitivity settings
  • Fixed background flickering during live view when green screen was active

Camera & Webcam Support

  • Added support for the Nikon D3500, Z6, and Z7
  • Updated the Canon SDK to add support for the PowerShot SX70 HS and EOS R
  • Fixed an issue where certain webcams — including the front and rear cameras on the Microsoft Surface Pro — did not appear in the camera selection list
  • Fixed webcam photos appearing mirrored or incorrectly rotated when the camera is mounted vertically
  • Improved compatibility with older webcams and cameras that operate at lower frame rates, including older Logitech models
  • Fixed a tearing or horizontal line artifact appearing in photos taken with certain webcams when subjects were moving

Template Editor

  • Added two-finger pinch and rotate gestures for resizing and rotating digital props and photo placeholders in the template editor
  • Improved arrow key movement precision in the template editor — elements now move 1 pixel per press, with 10-pixel jumps when holding Shift, matching standard design tool behavior
  • Fixed an issue where a copied template did not appear in the template dropdown until an unrelated new template was created
  • Improved the digital props editing area to reflect the actual cropped region from the template, so guests can see exactly where props will appear in the final print

Browse Screen

  • Improved the browse screen so all photo and video thumbnails appear in a consistent, evenly-spaced grid with uniform cell sizes
  • Added GIF indicators on GIF thumbnails in the browse view

Session Flow & Layout

  • Fixed the template selection screen to scroll vertically when the booth is oriented in portrait mode
  • Fixed an issue where the template chooser was shown to guests even when the booth was configured for GIF-only mode
  • Fixed an issue where a single tap on the start screen required two taps to begin a session when Virtual Attendant was on and only one booth mode was configured

Booth Management

  • Added a Lock Screen feature under Tools that lets operators temporarily close the booth with a customizable heading, message, and optional auto-unlock countdown; guests cannot interact until the operator enters their PIN
  • Added a virtual keyboard toggle button in the settings screen for touch-only devices such as the Surface Pro

GIF & Boomerang

  • Fixed Boomerang videos to always play forward and in reverse, regardless of the GIF reverse setting
  • Fixed large GIFs appearing stretched when captured with a DSLR camera

Sharing & Social

  • Fixed videos shared to a connected Facebook Page — they now link correctly to the video on fotoshare.co instead of showing a broken YouTube thumbnail

Security & Licensing

  • The serial number in the registration screen is now masked so booth attendants cannot read the license key at a glance
  • Added activation limit enforcement so a single license cannot be activated beyond the permitted number of computers; users are directed to deactivate an existing computer if the limit is reached

Automation & Integrations

  • Improved event trigger notifications — printing events now include the filename, number of prints, and printer name; a new file upload event fires whenever dslrBooth uploads any file, including the destination URL and album name
  • Updated cloud storage to use the Standard storage class for improved reliability and cost efficiency
  • Removed a deprecated Facebook API permission that is no longer supported
