Zoom-in at your control
Guide attention while you record. Trigger a zoom exactly when the viewer needs focus, keep moving through the demo, and finish with the zoom already baked into the MP4.
ScreenLive bakes auto-zoom, smooth cursor, click animations, and beautiful backgrounds into the recording itself — not into an editor you have to wait on. Press stop, share the MP4. That’s it.
No editor in between.
Zooms, cursor motion, layouts, backgrounds, audio, and preview are part of the live recording flow, so there is less to fix afterward.
Guide attention while you record. Trigger a zoom exactly when the viewer needs focus, keep moving through the demo, and finish with the zoom already baked into the MP4.
ScreenLive turns fast pointer movement into a calmer, easier-to-follow cursor path during capture, so tutorials and product walkthroughs feel polished without a post-production cursor pass.
Switch between screen-first, camera, and composed layouts live. The final recording follows your presentation rhythm instead of forcing you to rebuild the layout afterward.
Wrap the recording in a clean visual frame as you go. Pick the background that fits the moment and keep your output presentation-ready from the first take.
Control source, cursor, audio, layout, quality, and recording state from one focused Mac tool. The controls are built for live decisions, not for fixing the video later.
Keep an eye on the composed result while recording, then tuck the preview away when you need more screen space. You always know what the viewer will receive.
Most polished screen-recording tools are post-recording editors. They capture first, then render every frame later. ScreenLive composes the final view while you record.
Tools like Screen Studio add zooms, cursor polish, backgrounds, layouts, and audio treatment after the capture. When you stop, the app still has to render the edited timeline frame by frame before you get the final file.
ScreenLive applies the zoom effect under your control, smooth cursor changes, layout switches, backgrounds, and audio recording during capture. Because those choices are already baked into the recorded view, there is no extra editing pass or render queue.
Screen Studio’s polish. Without the editor, the export bar, or the wait.
