Screen Studio 4.0 is here, and it's our biggest update yet. Screen Studio records your Mac and turns it into a polished video. Zooms, a smooth cursor, and framing happen for you. What's new: • Glass Loupe. Magnify one detail under a glass lens, without moving the whole screen like a classic zoom does. • Camera cutout. Appear in front of your screen without your background. No green screen. • Edit by transcript. Delete a sentence from the transcript to cut it from your video. Filler words and long pauses are found for you. • Split screen. You and your screen side by side, or stacked for vertical video. Every layout change animates on its own. • Hide sensitive data and faces. Emails, phone numbers, card numbers, and keys are covered, and faces are blurred, even while you scroll. • Sharper zooms. We trained our own model on macOS screenshots, so zoomed-in text stays sharp. Small custom cursors get upscaled too. • Up to 4x faster exports. Plus ProRes for Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro. • New audio engine. Scrub without clicks, keep your voice in sync with your camera, and make a quiet mic loud with the new Loud mode. There's more: face tracking, color grading with LUTs, new caption styles, native macOS menus, J, K, and L playback shortcuts, and keyboard shortcuts that look like your Mac's keys. And this isn't the end. We have more updates coming soon, and we can't wait to show you. What would you like to see in Screen Studio next? We read every comment.

I absolutely love Screen Studio, just renewed my annual license for the second year. The amount of abandoned open source and free alternatives to it is ridiculous, and Screen Studio gets it -- because they charge money to make their business running. The new glass loupe thingy is awesome, I just finished making a batch of videos with it (you can see the date is yesterday in my calendar on my dock 😄) Appreciate all the had work and updates Adam, looking forward to see what other beautiful features you decide to give us in the future. Upvoted.

Yay, another super happy user here! It's fashionable these days to animate captions. But I live in a world where conversion counts, and animated captions in our product videos exclude appr. 14% of the audience. Can you build in an option to turn the animation off? We wrote to each other, exactly a year ago about it 😊 Topic: Re: Screen Studio Feedback - accessibility of captions.
