Autocuts captures the screen, camera, microphone, and system audio in one pass. Its built-in video editor turns clicks into zooms, redraws the cursor, transcribes your voice, and adds editable motion graphics to the timeline.
Clicks, cursor path, keystrokes and voice are recorded next to the picture. The studio turns that data into motion you can still edit.
Point the recorder at a full display, one app window, or a region you drag out. Camera, microphone and system audio join the take with one click, and every Autocuts overlay stays out of the file.
Autocuts reads the recorded click track, pushes the camera in on the click, holds while you work, then glides back out. Every zoom stays on the timeline afterwards.
Transcription downloads a speech model once, then runs offline on your Mac and produces burned-in captions plus SRT and VTT files. Each spoken word lights up as it is said.
Autocuts adds animated graphics to a recording as editable blocks on the timeline. Add one at the playhead, or let a supported coding agent suggest moments from the transcript. Review every graphic before export.
The cursor is recorded as data, then redrawn after the take: larger, smoother, and in the color you pick. Smoothing takes the jitter out of your hand.
Put the camera where the story needs it: a bubble in the corner, a split screen, a solo shot, or a portrait stack. Each preset reframes the screen and the camera together.
Set the recording on a color, a gradient, or an image wall, with padding, rounded corners and a soft shadow. Then pick the ratio the channel wants.
The teleprompter grows from the top of the screen and advances only while you speak, so your hands stay on the keyboard. It never reaches the recording.
Four steps in one window, from capture to export. Nothing leaves your Mac.
A display, a window or an area, with the camera, the microphone and the system audio you want.
Clicks and cursor data become zooms, movement, layouts and focus, before you touch anything.
Trim the clips, refine each zoom, clean the transcript, and keep or drop every automatic choice.
MP4 or WebM up to 4K at 60 fps, with burned-in captions or SRT and VTT sidecars.
Autocuts drafts the edit and you direct it in the same window: clips, captions, zooms, cursor effects, layouts, and graphics all stay editable.
People who explain software on a Mac: release demos, tutorial videos, onboarding, courses, support answers and launch posts.
A feature walkthrough or a bug repro, with a zoom on every click. A release demo takes minutes, not an evening.
