CloverCast Full Editor: Overlay Studio Takes Its Next Major Step

A full editor direction

• The goal is not to recreate every OBS control inside CloverCast. Overlay Studio is becoming a dedicated visual composition and stream-design workspace, while OBS remains the capture, encoding and streaming engine.
• Scenes can continue to combine CloverCast widgets, imported media and creator designs, with the canvas becoming the primary way those elements are arranged and edited.
• This release establishes the interaction foundation needed for deeper canvas, layer and scene workflows in future releases.

What is new in v1.67.0

• Shift-click multi-selection makes it possible to work with more than one canvas element at a time.
• Grouping and ungrouping provide a foundation for treating related design elements as a unit, including grouped movement.
• Alignment controls, horizontal and vertical centering, and fit-to-canvas actions make common layout tasks quicker and more precise.
• Layers can be reordered by drag and drop, with stronger selection feedback and improved touch transform handles for the editing workflow.

Built without throwing away Overlay Studio

• Existing scenes, widgets, My Assets, Stream Designs, Browser Sources and platform-isolated workspaces remain part of the editor.
• Autosave and recovery behaviour remains important to the editor foundation, along with the existing FREE and PRO entitlement handling.
• The OBS Live Editor remains available separately for supported live OBS scene control; the Full Editor direction is focused on designing CloverCast compositions rather than adding an OBS audio mixer or attempting to clone OBS.

Desktop first, touch where it makes sense

• Desktop and laptop remain the home of the complete editing experience.
• Tablet editing continues toward a touch-friendly Lite Editor experience with larger interaction targets.
• Phones keep the dedicated Live Control Deck approach for scene switching and quick stream actions instead of squeezing a 1920×1080 editor onto a small display.

What comes next

• The next Full Editor work is aimed at richer selection bounds, stronger multi-layer transforms, smart alignment guides, distribution and spacing tools, deeper layer hierarchy and context actions.
• Shapes, richer typography and media controls can then build on the same editor foundation rather than becoming separate disconnected tools.
• Layered PSD import remains planned only and will not be described as shipped until a real layer-aware importer has been implemented and validated.

TikTok LIVE remains on the official path

• CloverCast continues to support its existing approved TikTok workflows, but real-time TikTok LIVE gifts, chat and event features are not being simulated or implemented through unofficial third-party dependencies.
• The planned TikTok LIVE Studio remains dependent on obtaining appropriate official TikTok LIVE access. Development of the core CloverCast editor can continue independently while that approval path is resolved.
