Mirillis forum

When I select "Hide HUD during desktop recording" and record in desktop the HUD completely disappears just like I am not recording. This is confusing as sometimes I press F9 by mistake and I don't even I am recording.
However, when in game and "Do not record HUD in games and applications" is selected the HUD is still there in game but it is not visible in the recorded video but I know I am recording in game because the HUD turns red.

Therefore, if the mirillis development team can make the Action! icon in the task bar as green when not recording and red when recording then ""Hide HUD during desktop recording" would be a lot less confusing.
Also please add a close option for the Action! taskbar icon.

Thank you for your consideration.

Kind regards
John

Thanks for a great suggestion ObserverJLin. We will add your requested functionality in the next release.

Thank you for the very quick reply watchman.

Could you please also consider making available a De-Activation option next to activate so in the event I need to use my CD Key on another computer I don't have to go through the trouble of un-install/re-install and vice versa.

I have a suggestion too , make the overlay/hud during recording transparent and option for set the level of transparency, there are games where i cant place the hud to a good position because it hides the games infiormation like the minimap.
And for desktop record option to show the hud but not record it along with the taskbar coloor change.
Edit1:Add a second fps counter which should show the actual fps not the recording fps.

I was thinking of having an option to choose the size or form of the square that Action uses to show the fps and color when recording or not.

Instead the big square, we can choose just a little dot of color, that turn red when recording and stay blue when not, that way is less annoying than having a big box the entire game. Or better yet, that the small dot only appears when recording and dissapear when not.

Another suggestion add/change the avg frame rate counter during record to show the actual fps or it should show the recording fps, and the normal window should show the actual fps.
