May I ask how this is helpful since all of this extension's functionality (and more, video recording) can already be replicated with the "Project video recorder" addon?

This is a blocc extension, whereas the Project Video Recorder is a manual editor addon. Programatic audio recordin' via blocc's enables several unique use cases that r posible:

Exporting Audio in Music Apps / DAWs: I'm building a midi sequencer in turbowarp called "Midi Expert", and with this extension i can add an "Export Audio" feature. The code can triger the recordin', play the composed track, stop recordin' when the song finishes, and save the audio file.

Zero Video Overhead: Recordin' a full vid just to capture project audio is heavy on cpu and gpu. On low-end sytems (potato pcs), renderin' video along side audio often causes lag, corupted sound, or crashes.

The addon can accomplish the same features, @SharkPool-SP what do you think

the vid recorder addon has no scratch blocks at all. its strictly a manual editor tool.

Because it lacks blocks, project logic aint control it. You can't code an in-game 'Export Audio' button, auto-stop recording when a song finishes, or trigger pure audio saves trough code. Expecting end-users/players to manually open editor menus completely defeats the purpose of building interactive music tools or DAWs inside Scratch.
but with my project audo recorder addon yo can record audio with scratch blocks so it would be easier to produce and daw program in turbowarp

No, the add-on is for the editor. This extension is for recording the project anywhere outside the editor.

I was under the impression that this extension only works inside the editor/project, but would then export audio files to other content creation tools. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding though.

i understanded it now, addons are the features that you can use in the editor and extensions are the custom blocks, so the built in vid recording tool in turbowarp is addon and my custom blocks is an extension. right?

i also designed a 600x300 thumbnail for the extension how do i add it?

Correct. If I'm understanding correctly, the exisitng feature may already accomplish what this extension aims to do, making this extension potentially not needed

Just because it's an addon doesn't mean it can be used outside the editor. What if someone wanted to record gameplay for their game in. Packaged context.

I understand now, we're talking about packaged projects... that clears up things quite a bit
