Recording & auto-scroll

Scroll videos at exact pixels

Switch the capture type to Video and pick a style:

Hands-off

Plures drives. Auto-scroll glides the full page top to bottom over the clip at the speed you set (pixels per second), or record a static duration with the page held. Options:

Hands-off options: show cursor, auto-scroll, stop at page bottom, speed
Hands-off · the options
The capture window in Video mode: Hands-off selected, auto-scroll options and speed below, the Record control under the canvas
Video · Hands-off, auto-scroll on, record under the canvas

Hands-on

You drive the page during recording — clicks, scrolling, menus, anything — directly in the canvas. Records a single viewport. Show cursor is optional. Start and stop with the record control under the canvas or ⌘⇧R.

Multi-viewport recording

With more than one viewport, record the primary take; the secondary viewports auto-record afterward, replaying your take at each size. Closing the capture window mid-recording stops and keeps the take — it finalizes and lands in the Library like any deliberately stopped recording.

With Hands-on selected, secondary viewports are struck through with a hint to switch to Hands-off
Hands-on records one viewport · Hands-off records them all

Trims and retimes

Recordings open in an editor with a trim timeline. A trimmed or retimed cut saves to the Library as a new item, or replaces the original — your choice. The source stays untouched when you save as new.

Recordings are H.264 MP4 at 30fps with wall-clock frame timestamps, so duration and pacing stay exact even when a very large viewport lowers the achieved frame rate (see frame rates).
