In a few words, in a 2D project,recording a gif worked perfectly until I installed URP. Now all gifs are completely black.
It’s apparently a known bug: Unity Recorder is not capturing Post Processing Volume in URP - #2 by cguertin
Is anyone working on this, one year after, and can we hope for a fix, soon?
Recorder is still completely unusable in 0a19.
VideoMediaEncoder::Create got unsupported format.

Anyway, gif recorder makes Recorder useless for me.
@unitybru Is anyone looking into this?
In addition, Recorder is never fully deinstalled, the following warnings show up in the console on entering play mode, deleting the Recorder folder in Library doesn’t help:

Which version of Recorder are you using? You mention versions of Unity but not of Recorder.
Please send screenshots of your Recorder Window setup.
GIF support was removed in 3.0.0-pre.1
BTW I just managed to export a GIF in Recorder 2.5.5 with Unity 2019.4.23f1 with a Target Camera after having created a new URP project.
I’ve never seen your issue with RecorderBindings
The only available version of Recorder in 2021.2 is precisely “Version 3.0.0-pre.1 - April 21, 2021”.
I have removed Recorder already, I won’t put it back unless you add gif support again in the future, or, could you provide me with a version older than 3.0.0.-pre.1?. 
Installing Recorder and deinstalling it might trigger the RecorderBinding warning.
You can install 2.5.5 from the Package Manager window.
Didn’t I mention that the only available version of Recorder in 2021.2 is 3.0.0?
Select the last option in the popup comes up when you hit the “+” button.
Well, thank you for the tip. I didn’t know we could install packages that were not listed in “Previous Version”. Good to know.
I tried it in a 3D project and this version works with URP; I need to test it with a 2D project now. :thumb up:
Doesn’t work in a 2D project.
With “Camera: MainCamera”, I get this:
and with “Camera: active camera”, I get this:
Game view:
Settings:
I deinstalled Recorder 2.5.5 and didn’t get the warning about RecorderBndings this time; I get it’s something linked to version 3.0.0.
Thanks for your efforts @ !
I’m still having this warning, how do I get rid of it?

Edit: it’s linked to the scene where the recorder is usually used:
You know what to do now.
