Have something to say?

Itd be really nice if I could split sections of the video up to remove bite altogether, helpful for loading pages

trim parts of the video

Selfie camera support

Voiceover support

Intro with company logo

Split clip and delete parts of it

Multi-clip recordings

Hi, It would be nice to be able to have a transparent background option, so that we could take these videos to other editing software and play more with them. What do you think?

Transparent Background

Fullscreen text slides

Sensitive data masking

Display Keystroke for Shortcodes

Add background music

Such as fade in out, or slide in-out

Enter / Exit animations

Would love to be able to capture my desktop (specifically the app bar on the bottom) - cannot find a way to do this.

Capture custom area / desktop

windows support

I want to be able to highlight a portion of a clip and alter the speed (just for that section).This way, I can speed up loading screens.

Increase playback speed for parts of a recording

I’m sure you’ve see those in other videos. Should be great for promos 👋<img src="https://bucket1.featurebase.app/1673451854099.png"/>

My team and I at <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-blue-400 dark:text-blue-300 cursor-pointer" href="http://utopia.app">utopia.app</a> were considering using Screen Studio to make marketing videos of our product, but we really rely on the cursors showing up accurately. For example, when editing text on the canvas, we show the text cursor. We have an array of custom cursors for different actions. Is it possible to just show the actual cursor in the screen recordings, whatever they may be?

Actual Cursors

Ability to include the computer system audio in a recording 😊 Would be nice for tutorials including audio.

eg: adding text or circles to parts of the video

Annotate with text and basic drawing tools

Would be great if the app simply remembered the colors I set for the gradient background. When you have a set color palette for your brand, it's a bit annoying to have to set them each time you make a new video.

Save color settings for background

Add spotlight on Curse position to draw addition attension

I'd like to be able to customise the look of the cursor that's within the video.

If I'm typing during the recording, and then have to hit backspace a couple of times due to a typo, it would be incredible if it could automatically clip this out!

Automatically clip out typing mistakes

Seems to not be any obvious way to manage the audio on a recording?Ideally I need to be able to control volume and in some cases, "mute"/remove the audio if accidentally recorded with and then no-longer needed

No way to manage the mic audio

I think the settings for a new zoom should use the last one changed, so that you don't have to keep changing the zoom level to be uniform across the project. I changed the zoom to 150% (from 200%) and then created a new zoom and this one was set at 200% again, so I had to drag the slider to 150% (it might also be nice if this was in increments for ease of use - say every 10%, with a manual input for accurate entry). Maybe the settings could store defaults, or the project could have default zoom levels and a tickbox per zoom to specify if it uses the default levels or a custom one. That way editing the zoom levels across many zooms on the project could be done in bulk by changing the default zoom.

Zoom settings should inherit from the last edited

Currently, it's not possible to pause the recording. The pause feature while recording will save us time to record long videos.

Pause while recording

Hello,One thing that I would personally find really helpful is having custom size for recordings. I mostly post my work on Dribbble and would be amazing to be able to define it as 1600px x 1200px. I now do it in After Effects on top of what Screen Studio records. I felt like sharing this.Thank you for an amazing app!

Custom resolution cropping

It would be nice to take a still screenshot and have it placed in the frame just as video is. Would be handy for showing off new features that don't require video.

Screenshots

You might not realize your microphone was on from a previous recording setting or by being forgetful. On the exporting step, it would be nice to have the option to mute any audio that was recorded so that someone doesn't have to reshoot the entire video over again, or have to import it into 3rd party software just to mute the track.

Mute audio recordings when exporting Toggle

Hovering the timeline previews the the frame under your mouse which is great. However, I think this doesn't make sense during playback as you are usually not trying to interrupt the playback until you click anything.

Playback should not be interrupted by hover

Hide the cursor but show animation for select clicks.A cursor can be distracting but for some actions it can be hard otherwise to show that a click is being made.Toggle curser off but click animations on would be great. Selecting only specific clicks would be even greater.

Hide cursor but show click anomation

When closing a project straight after recording (i.e. not saving), the project .screenstudio should be deleted from the "Screen Studio Projects" folder if I say "close without saving". At the moment, I close the project and tell it not to save, but the file remains as a project in the folder.

Delete project when choosing not to save

This is to correct the errors but also I notice a "[BLANK_AUDIO]" part which, whilst may be part of the accessibility standard, for general captions, looks weird and would be something I'd want removing, either a setting, automatically, or manually

Option to edit the AI-generated transcript once generated

If the playback was resumed from the cursors position if hovered over the video track whilst paused, it would save a click and feel far slicker to play the video from the point you are interested in?

Space bar resume playback at mouse position

MP4 just does not cut it for quality when additional editing is needed in Davinci, Premiere Pro, AE etc. One high quality export option would let us do further editing and transcode to whatever if needed. Since you're a Mac only app, ProRes seems like the obvious choice.

ProRes Export

I'd love to be able to set the speed of the video, some parts faster/slower. Thanks!

Set video speed

Hi, in order to host videos on websites, 480p resolution is enough in most of the cases. This will allow reducing file size to avoid any SEO issues.

Enable 480p export

Automatically clip out stale or near stale frames such as loading phase

Export the cut of clips and effects of SS into timeline in XML file format.Level 1 - The clips can be prerendered for the timeline destination format.Level 2 - Export the effect in AE or DR. The effects have to be editable in the destination software.

I am currently working on creating tutorials for courses.As exporting takes a while, I'd like to take advantage of the time by recording more videos while the file is exported. Nevertheless, the application lags because of the exporting process. See the following video for a detailed explanation: <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-blue-400 dark:text-blue-300 cursor-pointer" href="https://www.loom.com/share/2b97c679f87e4f978cfde382b3fbe45e">https://www.loom.com/share/2b97c679f87e4f978cfde382b3fbe45e</a> Is it possible to run the app in multi-processes?Thanks in advance for the support!

Record while exporting

I'd like SS to be able to resize the window I wish to capture, in particular Safari. I want to record a catalogue of screen recordings and for them to be consistent the app/website would need to be the same size each time in the recording.

Set Custom Size of Window to Capture

It would be very useful if each page (style, layout and animations) would have its own presets system. It will let me fine tune the motion blur and cursor movement (and friction, etc..) to my liking, and reuse these settings without having to change the overall style as well.The reason this is important is because the mouse bounciness takes a lot of fine tuning when it is based around friction, mass and tension, and tweaking all sliders each and every time can become cumbersome.Global presets can stay as they are now.

Settings Presets should be per category

Export @ 50% the size (or custom size)

It would be cool, that a video could be instantly published and could be accessible from a link (and maybe have an optional expiration time). This would be a killer feature for sending quick usage demonstration videos etc.

Shareable video link

This is a tiny suggestion for naming improvement. Currently: "Click following options"I think this would be better: "Click-following options".The current name is a bit confusing as if the interface invites me to "click the following options on the screen".

Click following options wording

Right now compression is still slow. It takes about 20 minutes for a 4 minutes recording for the web at 720p. There are external tools such as the handbrake on mac that allows faster compression. So if the file can be saved without compression from Screen studio (so a faster save) then we can use the file as an input for a faster compression tool

Export without compression to allow compressing file faster with external tool

Would be cool to copy paste zooms to have a consistent zoom style across different parts of the video

Copy and paste zooms

I'd love to be able to blur my camera background (similar to how Zoom and others do it), to hide any unwanted clutter.

Blur Camera Background

In version: Version 2.0.15-beta (2.0.15-beta) When on Mac, I set my cursor to a really big size, the cursor size while recorded on Screen Studio Beta is not maintained (its not big on recording)Note, this is not the issue with Screen Studio (Version 1.18.10 (1.18.10)) Stable. The cursor size if set Big on Mac is Big on recording as well.

In Screen Studio beta, the cursor size is not respected

For tutorials, seeing what keys are pressed in software would be great. Like if you have a command in photoshop where as you press the keys, the keys come up like subtitles. If you added subtitles for voice recording as well, the keys could still look obvious inside the actually speaking text. Be able to customize color, transparency, text color, and border-radius, etc.

Typing Subtitles

It often takes a really long time for my recording to start. In the debug console I see a TRPCError that says it took &gt; 5 seconds to start a recording. I usually just quit Screen Studio and try againScreen studio version 1.18.10MacOS 12.6.3

Recording startup performance

Right now, if I want to make a manual zoom of different elements on the screen that's lined up in a row, I have to guess what the coordinates/size of the window should be by dragging around the box.It would be great to have a form on the side that includes the x, y coordinates so I can make the zooms lineup perfectly.

x, y coordinate forms

I love Screen Studio, and would love to use it more for quick video sharing similar to Loom. I would be happy to pay for a subscription so that recorded videos are automatically hosted, and instantly shareable via a URL.

Hosted service

Hey, I use the app to create GIFs for Twitter. I often face an issue that my GIFs are just over Twitter's 15 Mb limit. I often try to crop the video a bit, but for some reason even reducing the length by 10-20% barely reduces the output size of the file.Ideally we'd be able to either specify ideal output file size or a 'quality' slider, which would affect the expected size of the file (which btw is not really accurate for GIFs, from my experience it's +- 70%). Great app and good luck! Michał

Add max file size to the export settings (for example Twitter's 15 Mb)

It would be cool to be able to chose a specific codec when exporting, so as to reduce time to export, as well as take advantage of Apple's great compression optimisation on their codecs. It would also reduce some of the export time and improve quality of the export.

Codec choice for Export

When capturing typing, auto remove any recording of text that I backspaced (like correcting a typo while recording). Also, auto-speed up video of typing recording so it's nice and quick.

Smart typing capture

Would love to see a webm export option!

Export as WEBM

EXPORTS - Better to take time than to burn out the computer

E.g. If I click on the right side of the address bar in chrome and start typing, it will focus to the empty where I clicked, and the zoom will prevent me from seeing the typed text. It'd be great if it could zoom to the caret position, to see what's being typed.

Focus on the text caret position

Device frames

Faster exports

You tweeted this months ago but i would love those transitions between multiple clips ❤️<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" class="text-blue-400 dark:text-blue-300 cursor-pointer" href="https://twitter.com/stripe/status/1562114796761268224?s=46&amp;t=BrSaDfzaAsqtnB7YtSzDHw">https://twitter.com/stripe/status/1562114796761268224?s=46&amp;t=BrSaDfzaAsqtnB7YtSzDHw</a>

Transition multiple recordings like Stripe

It would greatly help with the presentation if text could be added in the video. Full slides are ok but a smooth way to place text next to a component would be awesome.

Add text to areas within the demo

Add ability to make mouse movements the same as in the recording.

A quality of life improvements for easier use.

CMD + N -> new Recording

When I fire up screen I get:<ul><li>The floating window with the prompt to start recording</li><li>A tray icon</li></ul>What I recommend is changing the behaviour of the floating window to be similar to loom.<ul><li>When I click away from the editor it disappears</li><li>When I click the system tray icon it reappears </li></ul>The problem I see is that:<ul><li>Even in this screenshot, screen is infront of all my windows but because I clicked Chrome, chrome is the window i'm getting the settings bar for up top left. So I can't quit or hide screen.</li><li>Maybe moving screen's toolbar to be stuck to the side of the window similar to loom would also help</li><li>Adding a quit or close icon would help</li><li>Adding a dropdown option to the toolbar would help</li></ul>Love the tool keep doing what you're doing!<img src="https://bucket1.featurebase.app/1678697317700.png">

Better floating window behaviour

Disabling smooth cursor doesn't work since 2.1.4

Please fix the app so that when a new update comes, all of the projects that were used on the previous version do not become useless and users don't lose their work... like I did🙁

Later Version Projects now not usable...

Instant upgrade, thanks for this tool. I would love to also have zooms and motions that allow me to tilt the capture item to create 3D depth

I'd love to be able to export a video Loom, Slack, etc. automatically vs. having to export, upload and send.

3rd Party Export

The cursor movement is not stable, it blinks

Cursor is not working good in v2

How can I upgrade from Standard to Extended plan if I have purchased one license?

Cursor smoothing is great, but fails when interacting with items on the screen. Would be very handy to have an option to halt smoothing in between mouse down and mouse up events

disable coursor smoothing while dragging

Would it be possible to add a option to add Zooms with Keyboard Shortcut versus click. For example in the preference window we can have options for Zoom such as: Clicks / Keyboard Shortcut / No Zooms. Please let me know what you think. 🤔 Thank you and have a Fantastic Day! 🙂

Option to add Zooms with Keyboard Shortcut

Hello! 🙂 Would it be possible to make a version to use in CLI. This way we can record and then export all from Terminal. One option is to add is the ability to remove all zooms or add a preset we had made. Please let me know what you think. 🤔 Thank you and have a Fantastic Day! 🙂

CLI Option

Hello! 🙂 Would it be possible to export Portrait, Landscape and Square versions at the same time and append the word Portrait, Landscape or Square in the filename? Please let me know what you think. 🤔 Thank you and have a Fantastic Day! 🙂

Abillty to export multible dimensions at the same time.

I would imagine a posaible use case for capturing stills at specified time intervals And then getting a timelapse like gif/recording (eg: code speed run)

timelapse/speedrun mode

Hello, I have some feedbacks for your product:- It would be nice to be able to check for updates and change the recording shortcut without having to be in the timeline/edit window. This is a pretty annoying problem that I've run into a few times.- It would be great if there were keyboard shortcuts for actions like "Start recording" or "Skip countdown", without having to click those buttons every time.- There is a bug when defining the recording shortcut, which does not allow using the Hyperkey, the shortcut is always ⌘ + [key].Other than that, I felt the product just keeps getting better and more polished, and I love the logo you made.Success!

UX improvements

It's common for demo videos to pause for a bit longer at the end for the user to digest what happened. Currently, I have to make sure I pause for long enough before stopping the recording, and cursor movement still cuts into it sometimes and makes the video end on a blurry cursor snapshot.

Make it possible to set a drag so that the recorder scrolls over a part of the screen. This way you can create a scene in Figma, then have the recorder "travel" over it - creating a nice banner-like scrolling effect

I couldn't find any version changelog on the website or app.

Software Version changelogs Needed

<img src="https://bucket1.featurebase.app/1675734862544.png">Hi, Apologies for putting this in as feature request, I couldn't see where to ask questions/support. I've tried my first recording on the intel version and the recorded video is scaled right down to a corner of the view.

Not sure if I'm getting the correct size of video

Hi Adam! Really been loving Screen Studio and excited for the new updates coming up! Unfortunately, currently I can't edit any videos. After recording the editor opens like this, where I can't press play, and also Image background is not working. I'm on the latest version. Any Idea what is going on?<img src="https://bucket1.featurebase.app/1675619654997.png">
