Auto-zoom
Zooms are placed on your clicks before you open the editor. Follow the pointer or hold a spot, set how close, and drag them on the timeline.
Recordful Editor
Raw take in. Finished video out.
Zooms land on your clicks, the camera finds its corner and the ums come out. The editor opens on its own when you stop recording.
Features
A production pass, without the production.
Everything a screen recording needs to look made, and nothing it doesn't.
Cursor and click effects
A circle, a ripple or a pressure ring on every click, with a click sound if you want one. What you see is what exports.
Backgrounds and frames
Set the recording on a gradient, a colour or your own image, with padding, rounded corners, a shadow and a 16:9, 4:3, 1:1 or 9:16 canvas.
Captions
Captions in ten languages, styled to match, with the word being spoken highlighted. Only the sound is sent to transcribe, then deleted.
Clips, cuts and speed
Cut, split and trim on a timeline with a filmstrip and waveform. Play any clip from 0.5× to 4×, and add another clip or a voiceover.
Cleanup
Take out noise and echo, mouth sounds and breaths, then cut filler words and long pauses with one switch each.
Camera layouts
Your webcam is its own track. Put it in a corner or on a side, show only the camera, or hide it, at any point in the video.
Export up to 4K
MP4 or WebM at 720p to 4K, 30 or 60 FPS, rendered on your computer. The desktop app exports GIFs too.
Private until you share
A local recording is edited on your device. It goes nowhere until you export it, or share a link with Pro.
