Record a display, window, or browser-selected surface into a video project. The desktop recorder can capture pointer telemetry for editable cursor/zoom effects; browser capture is available when native recording is not, with fewer mouse-tracking capabilities.
Where: Top bar (video) → Record screen — Start a screen recording
Key ideas
- Capture routes: Use the native macOS recorder, the native Windows recorder when the desktop app includes its component and Windows 10 version 2004 or newer is available, or browser capture. Display/window/system-audio/microphone options depend on the active route and OS permission.
- Pause and stop: Pause/Resume is available when the active recorder supports it; paused spans are omitted from the finished file. The desktop floating stop strip stays available while recording, and the HUD also exposes Stop.
- Cursor & zoom: Desktop routes can carry mouse telemetry for automatic cursor/zoom and click presentation effects; browser recording supports manual zoom but does not provide the same separate mouse track.
- On the timeline: The recording becomes an editable clip/package. Supported telemetry can drive zoom, cursor, and click effects that remain editable afterward.
Steps
- In a video project, click Record screen and choose the available native or browser capture route.
- Select a display/window/tab and the audio sources the current route offers; grant the required OS/browser permissions.
- Start capture. Use Pause/Resume to leave a gap out of the final file when supported; use Stop in the HUD or the always-available desktop strip.
- Wait for the recording to finish/save before closing the project. Check whether the source produced separate cursor/click telemetry.
- Edit the resulting clip and any available zoom/cursor/click tracks; browser captures without pointer telemetry can still be given manual zoom edits.
