Take a screen recording all the way to a finished video.

Build the explanation before adding effects

Remove the false start, put the useful steps in order, and leave enough time for a viewer to understand each action. The timeline supports trimming, splitting, moving, duplicating, and deleting clips. Video, audio, captions, zooms, camera shots, and graphics have separate roles in the edit.

For a software tutorial, keep the moment that shows the result close to the action that produced it. Cut loading time when it adds nothing, but retain a pause when someone needs to read a dialog.

Control where the viewer looks

Refine automatic zooms and cursor emphasis instead of making every click equally prominent. Use stage keyframes for animated layout changes and editable speed ramps when a long interaction can be shortened without losing its meaning.

The editor includes transitions, color adjustments, LUTs, and 28 title templates spanning intros, outros, lower thirds, chapters, and callouts. Treat a title as information: name the section, identify the speaker, or explain the next action.

Keep narration, captions, and camera choices together

Correct your transcript before styling the captions. Review filler-word and silence edits in context so they do not remove a useful hesitation or cut into the start of a word. Mix narration above background music and check the first and last frame of each transition.

For supported multi-camera recordings, use A/B/C shot choices in the edit. Up to three cameras can participate in the capture workflow. See screen and camera recording for the distinction between a local camera setup and a remote guest session.

Make a file for the place it will be watched

• Export H.264 or HEVC for a finished video, or ProRes 422 for an editing handoff.
• Create a GIF for a short loop that does not need sound.
• Choose burned-in captions or a separate SRT/VTT subtitle file.
• Keep the editable project and source media when you expect revisions.

A vertical clip needs another composition pass, not just another filename. Follow the vertical video guide and check labels, cursor motion, and captions at phone size.
