What you get

You get from raw footage to captioned demos and social videos faster.

You can turn a screen recording or raw take into a short video without building every cut yourself. Capture your screen, camera, and microphone together, or bring in existing footage. Automatic zooms, clearer cursor styling, and keystroke labels help viewers follow what you’re demonstrating.

You get an AI-generated first cut that can remove pauses and filler, add animated captions and supporting footage, and balance music and sound effects. You review the result, then remove unwanted sentences by deleting words from the transcript—the matching video and audio are cut while the rest stays in sync. If you stumble over a line, you can regenerate it using a sample of your voice rather than record again.

You can also scan a QR code to send phone clips into your project over Wi-Fi. When you’re finished, reframe for vertical or landscape viewing and export locally on your Mac in up to 4K.

  • Make demos easier to follow

    You can draw attention to clicks and keystrokes while showing your screen and camera together.

  • Start with an assembled edit

    You review an automatic first cut with pauses removed, captions added, and supporting visuals and audio in place.

  • Cut by deleting words

    You remove sentences from the transcript and cut the corresponding footage without throwing captions and supporting clips out of sync.

  • Fix lines without another take

    You can replace a word or sentence using a cloned version of your voice instead of recording again.

  • Bring phone footage straight in

    You scan a QR code to send clips into your current project over Wi-Fi, without cables or a cloud-drive detour.

Best for

  • You make product demos or screen tutorials
  • You turn talking-head recordings into social clips
  • You combine phone footage with Mac recordings

Skip it if

You don’t need this if you only want to watch videos or save screen recordings without editing them.
