Turn one recording into a step by step guide. Here's how. In Export, choose Make a guide. Each step gets a short instruction from what you said, and a picture of the moment you clicked. Private details are covered in every picture. Edit, merge or remove steps, and move the hotspot if you need to. Then choose Save guide. You get a branded PDF, and a web page that people can click through, step by step. One video. A guide for free. Guides come with Pro.

More features

Screen and camera recording

Record your screen with your camera alongside, or import a video you already have.

Automatic tidy

When you stop recording, the “um”s, false starts, repeats and long pauses are cut for you, and the sound is cleaned up.

Everything you say appears as text. Delete a word and that moment is cut from the video. You can always undo.
