Focus and zoom

Nothing stays too small to read.

Recorder Studio watches where you click while recording and zooms in on the moments that matter. Every zoom is eased and balanced for you.

Clicks become smooth zoom segments on the timeline, following the cursor between clicks.

Double-click the zoom lane, drag the block, click the preview to aim. Done.

Your webcam glides aside when the cursor comes near, so it never covers what you are showing.

1.0× Scroll to zoom — exactly how your viewers will see it.

Camera layouts

Your camera, your screen, or both.

Screen and camera are recorded as separate tracks, so you can change the layout after recording — even per clip.

  1. Fullscreen cameraIntroduce the idea face to face.
  2. Split screenSide by side, with an adjustable camera share.
  3. Camera overlayCircle, squircle, rounded, wide or portrait — with border, shadow and mirror.
  4. Screen onlyGive the screen all the room it needs.
  5. Camera cutoutYour background removed on-device. Step onto the stage.

Motion

Movement that feels filmed, not captured.

Shaky cursor paths become a steady glide. Fast camera moves pick up a natural blur. Clicks ripple. All of it is editable after you record.

Smooth cursor

A deterministic spring smooths the recorded pointer. Preview and export always match.

Arrow Dark Hand I-beam Dot Ring Touch Cross

Eight cursor styles

Change size and style after recording. Add a halo or a click bounce.

Keystrokes on screen

Shortcuts and typing appear as clean keycaps — only when you turn it on.

Click effects

A quiet ripple makes every click easy to follow.

Motion blur

Zooms and pans blur like a real camera move.

Any aspect ratio

Record once. Post everywhere.

One take becomes the wide demo and the vertical reel. In 9:16 the frame follows your cursor, and split screen stacks your camera underneath.

Record & edit

Everything a great demo needs.

◎

60 fps native capture

A whole display, one window, or a 9:16 region. The OS cursor is excluded and re-drawn as a vector.

◉

Camera, mic & system audio

Live preview with an input meter before you start. Missing devices never block a take.

✂

Real cuts

Split, trim, ripple delete and reorder on a thumbnail timeline with snapping and undo.

◐

Per-clip looks

Give one clip its own layout, background, cursor or volume. The rest stays untouched.

▦

Backgrounds

Studio gradients, solid colors or your own wallpaper, with padding, radius and shadow.

⌁

Projects

Save and reopen a project. Your original recording files are never modified.

Export

Fast. Really fast.

Frames are decoded in order with hardware WebCodecs and encoded on your GPU with NVENC, Quick Sync or AMF — falling back to x264 when needed.

  • MP4 at 720p, 1080p or 4K · 24, 30 or 60 fps
  • GIF with an optimized palette
  • Copy straight to the clipboard
