Voila v3.0 Beta Released- Try it today!
What do you do when you have to explain something? You could do a few things; give a lengthy explanation, type a lengthy mail; or use Voila to quickly and easily capture a screen-shot or record your screen. Yes I did just say that! Voila has been integrated with the screen recording feature allowing you to record amazing videos of all your on-screen activities. This version also sports better capturing and file management options, additional tools, filters and sharing options. Read on to know more..
The Screen-recording feature enables you to record all your on-screen activities along with audio in full screen or a selected area. You will be amazed with the High-Quality resolution videos of your screen, recorded with Voila. You can then instantly upload these videos via YouTube, FTP or SFTP. Frequent requests for the ability to capture the Menu with Title, supporting Firefox and capturing web-pages which retain the URL in-case you want to revisit the web page, were considered and included in this version. Tools such as Marquee lets you select an area within a screen capture in various shapes and Eraser helps in removing sensitive information from your screen captures.
Most of you would rather use the short cut keys to take a quick capture and this version provides you with the flexibilty to assign a Function Key or any single key as a shortcut. Regarding FTP upload, many users found it a bit confusing. Thus we have made FTP and SFTP uploading more flexible and easy. The Search has been optimized in such a way that you can now search for your image files or videos by their Name, Title, URL, Tags or Description. There are a whole lot of more changes made in this version. You can read more about them from here.
However, what you must keep in mind is that this is a Beta version of Voila. Your feedback on its features and functionality at this stage is very important. Your feedback from this beta will be incorporated into the final release. Also Voila v3.0 Beta is an Upgrade. If you are an existing registered customer of Voila, then you need to install the new Beta v3.0 of Voila in a separate location for testing purposes.
In case you do replace your older version of Voila with the current Beta, then you can download the old version from here. Delete the existing Voila application and install the old version. You can register the old copy with the registration code that you already have. Always ensure to take a backup of your Voila Images Database before upgrading/replacing/deleting the application. You can check the database location from the Preferences > General window.

As a registered user with a 2.5+ license, I’d love to know what the upgrade price for this will be. I also happen to work at a university, so not sure if that makes a difference with upgrade prices. The video capture is exactly what I’ve been looking for in this kind of application.
Hi Lesley,
For a Single User license the Upgrade price is $18 and for an Education Copy license the Upgrade price will be $12. But if you upgrade during the 1st two weeks of the release of the Final version, the upgrade will be available at a discounted price of $15 and $10 respectively.
We shall update you on the release date of the final version of Voila and the other pricing details soon.
Now all became clear, many thanks for an explanation.
