🛠 Improvements & bug fixes

• This update includes a firmware update for Galleon 100 SD, with stability and performance improvements.
• Stream Deck now only claims the keys on certain connected CORSAIR devices that have actions assigned to them. Keys without a Stream Deck action remain available for CORSAIR software to handle as intended.
• When importing a profile, Stream Deck now clearly distinguishes when a required plugin version isn’t available on Marketplace — rather than showing a generic error message.
• Resolved an issue where NIGHTSWORD v2 would stop appearing in Stream Deck after waking from sleep.
• Resolved an issue where a NIGHTSWORD v2 could lose its Stream Deck connection when switching between wireless and wired modes.
• (macOS) Resolved an issue where the “Open automatically at login” checkbox in Preferences could appear enabled even when macOS had blocked the app from launching at login.

We've read your feedback, listened to how you use Prompter in the field, and used it ourselves to produce everything from YouTube videos to Shorts and Reels. Elgato Studio 2.0 brings an entirely new software experience for Prompter. This megathread is your place to test it, report bugs, and share feedback.

What’s new in Elgato Studio 2.0

🗣️ Voice Sync 2.0

Voice Sync scrolls your script as you speak, so you can focus on your delivery instead of managing playback. We rebuilt it with a new speech recognition engine which brings support for AMD and Intel, alongside NVIDIA GPUs. It's faster, more accurate, and built to stay with you from the first line to the last.

A new sensitivity slider lets you control how closely Voice Sync follows your speech, so it works whether you read word for word or tend to go off-script. Supported language is English, with more on the way.

📝 Your Scripts, Untethered

In Camera Hub, writing or editing a script required Prompter to be physically connected. If your hardware wasn't set up, your scripts were locked away. That's gone. The new script editor in Elgato Studio 2.0 is always available, whether Prompter is connected or not. Write and prep between shoots, organize your scripts ahead of time, or start working before your Prompter is even out of the box.

Headings, lists, formatting, and drag-and-drop block editing are all built into the new editor. It’s more powerful now and will feel familiar if you’ve used Google Docs, Word, or Notion. Paste keeps your formatting, and the single-chapter limitation from Camera Hub is gone. Import scripts from .md, .txt, and .docx files, or use the dedicated Import from Camera Hub option. Scripts auto-save with crash recovery.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

ℹ️ Present Your Way

Read-text highlighting dims what you've already read so you always know where you are. A reading position slider lets you choose where your current line sits on screen. Fonts, sizing, spacing, margins, and colors are all adjustable to match your Prompter setup and reading distance. New in Elgato Studio 2.0 is an optional Prompter overlay that shows your script progress and overall session time.

‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🎬 Studio Ready

With Prompter and Prompter XL being used in studio and production environments, we heard the need for an operator or producer to see what’s on Prompter. With Elgato Studio 2.0, the Prompter view shows exactly whats happening and what the talent sees, one to one.

What’s new in Elgato Studio 1.1 Beta?

🌈 Record in High Dynamic Range (HDR)

Capture your gameplay or content exactly as it looks on screen. Elgato Studio now supports HDR recording* with richer colors, deeper contrast, and highlights that don't blow out.

*HDR recording is available for Windows only

Requires compatible Elgato Capture device and GPU.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🎛️ Recording quality options

You can now choose between higher quality or space-saving recording options.

• Quality: This setting changes the average bit rate during recording
• Format: Choose between different video codecs. H.264 is universally compatible. H.265/HEVC is more space efficient. AV1 is the latest and most advanced codec.
• Max frame rate: Select the max frame rate of your recording. The actual frame rate depends on the incoming video signal.

Note: HDR recording will use either H.265/HEVC or AV1 and requires a compatible GPU.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🪟 Redesigned sidebar layout

Device and recording settings have been unified in a new sidebar making navigation easier and grouping common settings together.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

4K Pro - Passthrough video quality improved

Firmware 250416 and driver 1.1.0.203.5 are now available which resolve an issue with passthrough output changing with certain displays such as the LG C2.

Note: In addition to installing the beta build, you'll need to switch your Release Channel to Beta. Otherwise, the driver won't be delivered. Firmware versions only appear once the driver is installed.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

4K X - Enable 10 Gbps USB Connection

For users on Mac you can now enable 10 Gbps when using 4K X to take full advantage of increased recording resolution, frame rate and video formats.

To show the 10 Gbps settings, hold the command key and then click the sidebar view. The next time you open the sidebar you’ll find the setting under the Video tab.

Note: On macOS 14.5 or later, enabling USB 10 Gbps mode on 4K X may cause USB video devices to stop responding. Restart your Mac and disable the setting to resolve this.

 ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎

🛠️ Bug fixes & performance improvements

Windows

• Fixed an issue where the HDR tonemapping setting would reset after restarting the app (4K Pro)
• Fixed an issue where setting a custom EDID would revert to a predefined EDID instead (4K Pro)
• Fixed an issue where the preview would scale incorrectly after maximizing the window before plugging in a source

macOS

• Fixed an issue where a recording would not be saved if the capture device was disconnected during recording
• Fixed an issue where the volume slider could not be adjusted while muted
• Fixed an issue where the file explorer would not open the newly set library folder
• Fixed an issue where the app's dark/light theme would update even when "Same as system" was not selected
