I believe I saw a lens that doesn't include certain UI elements during recording.
What I want to do is make my sliders not show up during recording.
I have sliders to control the size of some objects on the screen and it would be cool if they could automatically not be included in the recorded version of the lens.
Is that possible?
What system are you using?
Have you downloaded the latest version of Lens Studio?
Is this issue causing Lens Studio to crash?

Please enter a brief description of your issue:
Unfortunately, it's likely due to the operating system or hardware you're using – since they don't meet the system requirements for Lens Studio.
Still, we hear you loud and clear, and are logging the issue in case there's ever a workaround we can provide!
Minimum Requirements
Operating System: Windows 10 (64 bit); MacOS 10.11+
Hardware: Minimum of Intel Core i3 2.5Ghz or AMD Phenom II 2.6Ghz with 4 GB RAM; Intel HD Graphics 4000 / Nvidia GeForce 710 / AMD Radeon HD 6450 or better; screen resolution of 1280x768 or higher
Keep an eye out for a followup email from us. We may have a couple more questions for you, or we might already have a solution to offer.
Happy creating!
Which brings another question. Is it possible to have a "on start recording" / "on end recording" event?
I could use that to show/hide the sliders...
thanks
Hey Marco!
There actually is a way to tell if the lens is recording, it is using the isRecording() method. The easiest way (and the way I always prefer) is to create a new Render Target, and set it's input to the first render target. Then, set the new render target to the Orthographic camera holding the UI. In the Scene Config, you can change the Live target to this new Render Target. That will make the UI and everything under that Orthographic Camera be hidden after the lens is recorded.

Thank you! I was able to achieve this!
