Tutorials and how-tos
Tutorials that are easy to follow the first time.
A tutorial fails when the viewer loses the cursor or cannot read the menu you just opened. SmoothCut zooms to what you click, makes the pointer obvious, and captions what you say.
How to
A tutorial in one sitting
- 01
Talk it through as you do it
Record the screen with your microphone on. Say it again if you stumble; abandoned takes are found afterwards and offered as cuts.
- 02
Tighten it
Silences and filler words are cut for you, with every cut on the timeline where you can undo it. Add a text callout or blur anything private.
- 03
Caption and export
Generate captions on your computer, then export at up to 4K, limited only by the size of what you recorded.
Made for being followed along with
Viewers pause, rewind and watch on small screens. A bigger cursor with a ripple on every click, zooms on the control you are using, and word-timed captions make each step unmissable.
Blur and mosaic hide a key, an email address or a name, and stay in place through every zoom.
The features that matter here
What does the work
- Automatic zoom SmoothCut watches where you click and work, and zooms the recording there for you, with the depth, timing and easing already chosen. Change any zoom on the timeline.
- Cursor smoothing SmoothCut records your cursor as data, so after recording you can smooth its movement, make it bigger, change its style and add click effects, without re-recording.
- On-device captions SmoothCut turns your voice into word-timed captions with a speech model that runs on your own computer. Download the model once; after that it works offline and nothing is uploaded.
- Auto fix SmoothCut's Auto fix reads a recording and plans the edit: silences, filler words, zooms, layout and sound. You read the plan before it runs, and every step is an ordinary edit you can undo.
Questions
Can I fix a mistake without re-recording?
Usually. Say the line again while recording and the first attempt is detected and offered as a cut; you can also cut, speed up or cover parts of the timeline.
Can I record a voice-over afterwards instead?
Yes. Record the screen first and narrate later while the preview plays, then redo any line without touching the recording.
Will captions work in my language?
The speech model detects the spoken language automatically, and captions are generated on your computer.
