When the projection leaves a faithful trace

A projection often exists only while the room is dark. Yet after a good rehearsal, a carefully prepared evening, or an important shared song, it can matter to see again what happened on the screen. Over the last few days I have refined the recording–editor–export chain, so an edited MP4 now keeps the image and rhythm of the live projection much more faithfully.

The details are not decoration here. A corner logo keeps its configured size and position, full-screen images and video are no longer cropped, and moving backgrounds change with the same gentle blur and transition as they do in the room. When an interval countdown covered the slides, the export and editor preview show that too. You no longer need to reconstruct the moment in your head when reviewing a section or sharing it with someone who was not there.

Much of this work is invisible: looping video logos, background and content transitions, and the recording safety limits now have automated checks. That matters because after an event, technology should not remember only approximately. My aim is for the recording to be as trustworthy as the moment it preserves.
