Screen and camera recording
Record your screen with your camera alongside, or import a video you already have.
Automatic tidy
When you stop recording, ums, false starts, repeats and long pauses are cut and the sound is cleaned. Review or use the original.
Edit by deleting words
Delete words in the transcript and the matching moment leaves the video. Undo is always there.
Captions and text
Add and style captions so people can follow with the sound off, and place text exactly where you need it.
Layouts and backgrounds
Move between camera, screen and both. Add a background, padding, rounded corners and a camera frame.
16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5
Make YouTube, Reels, Shorts, TikTok and feed versions from the same project.
