Recording area blocked by HUD control bar at bottom - cannot record full screen content #698

Description

@Frio99

Issue Description

When starting a screen recording, Recordly's bottom HUD control bar occupies and blocks the bottom portion of the screen. Even when dragging the control bar away, the bottom area remains unavailable/unresponsive for recording, preventing me from recording full screen content including UI elements at the bottom.

Expected Behavior

The recording should capture the full selected screen area. The HUD control bar should either:

  1. Not block any part of the recording area
  2. Be movable completely outside the recording region
  3. Have a setting to hide/minimize it during recording
  4. Allow adjusting the recording area boundaries independently

Actual Behavior

The bottom portion of the screen is permanently blocked by the HUD, making it impossible to record content at the bottom of the screen even after moving the control bar.

System Info

  • macOS (Apple Silicon)
  • Recordly v1.3.4-beta.1

Screenshots/Details

The bottom control bar area cannot be clicked or recorded, even if physically moved

Impact

Cannot create complete screen recordings that include bottom UI elements (taskbars, buttons, status bars, etc.)
