Screen Studio
Turns screen recordings into polished, zoomed-in videos
The verdict
Record your screen once and get back a video that zooms in wherever you clicked, with a smoothed cursor and a clean background, so it looks like an edited product demo. The cursor is recorded separately so you can restyle it later, and editing the transcript cuts filler words. It is subscription only now, from $9 a month billed yearly, so CleanShot X is the better buy if you mostly take screenshots.
Get it if
You record product demos, tutorials or course videos and want them to look edited without a video editor.
Skip it if
You record your screen a few times a year, and QuickTime with Shift-Command-5 handles that for free.
