PTR 3.3.1802.1511

Updated: February 14, 2018

If XSplit 3.2 was the fastest XSplit ever, version 3.3 is more about flexibility, adding important new features and options to a streamers toolbox. This update for both XSplit Broadcaster and XSplit Gamecaster will pave the way for more exciting features and improvements down the line. Here’s a quick video summary about XSplit 3.3

A quick shout out to those who have been providing us feedback with our PTR releases. Your efforts help us ensure that our final releases are of the highest quality, and we couldn’t have done it without you.

The biggest feature of this release by far is Macros, which allows you to setup a variety of automated actions that can be triggered in variety of ways.There’s a lot that can be done with this feature and we have actually already demonstrated some in our Macros blog post. We highly suggest you to check this out in case you haven’t yet

Another highly requested feature is the ability to separate microphone and system audio in recordings which is also now possible in this version. This provides more flexibility for post processing your recordings using third-party applications. This feature is also available in XSplit Gamecaster along with some other nice additions such as Mixer chat, follower and subscriber alert, and Twitch Cheers support.

For the full list of new features and bug fixes in this update, refer to the release notes for XSplit Broadcaster and XSplit Gamecaster. We’re excited to hear your feedback and as always, happy streaming!

Join discussion here

You can read the full release notes or just have a look at some highlights below.

PS: Presentation, broadcast channel settings, user settings continue to be shared between the stable installation and PTR, so before running the PTR then backup your existing presentation.

Highlight of new features and improvements

General

Preview mode support : Support for preview and live at the same time in mixer (Still in progress)

Dedicated CPU/GPU modes: Setting in Tools ->General-> Advanced that allows users to prefer loading CPU or GPU during mixing and broadcasting. In setups where a GPU intensive game runs on the same PC, CPU mode may result in better game performance (We are still testing these new modes, default is still the Legacy mode and you should probably stick to that until next update)

Added loop options for each video source and Video Playlist item (Hot request)

Media Slideshow: Added option for webm and custom timings (Hot request)

Improved Hotkey Manager (Keys without modifiers, mouse XButton1 & XButton2, and MIDI support) (Hot request – testing still in progress)

Added “New scene”, “Load scene”, “Save scene”, & “Duplicate scene” menu items

Added support for Source transitions on scene enter and exit (Finally done, we had this is backlog for far too long-:)

Optimized compatibility of Virtual Camera and added list of supported resolutions

Faster and less CPU intensive MJPEG decoding

Support for Alpha in NDI output

Optimized CPU usage for hardware devices

Services
