About Screen Studio

Screen Studio records the screen and then applies effects automatically. It zooms in on the actions you perform, enlarges the cursor and smooths its movement. You can move zooms on a timeline or add your own, and exports can be switched to vertical format for social media, with the zooms adjusted to fit.

It is meant for product demos, courses, tutorials and social media videos. macOS Ventura 13.1 or newer is recommended.

Strengths

  • Automatic zooms that follow your actions
  • Smoothed, enlarged cursor
  • Vertical export with zooms adjusted automatically
  • Timeline editing of zooms

Limitations

  • macOS only
  • Opinionated style with less control than a full video editor
