WyzeMotion

WyzeMotion is a screen recorder that edits itself. Record what you do on screen and WyzeMotion tracks your cursor: when you stop to work on something, the camera moves in on it, and when you move on, it pulls back. You open the editor with the zooms already placed, tune how they feel, pick a backdrop, and export a video.

Everything stays on your Mac. The recording is a file on your disk and nothing is uploaded. The screenshots show an example recording made for this page, using a capture of this website.

What you get

1. Automatic zooms that follow your cursor — WyzeMotion detects when you pause on something and zooms in on that spot, then pulls back when you move on. A shaky hand is ignored, and zooms that are close together merge into one smooth move.
2. Smooth camera, no jumps — The camera eases in and out instead of cutting, and it stays put while your cursor moves within the centre of the view, so the picture does not wobble.
3. Mark a zoom by hand — Press ⌘⇧M while recording to mark a moment yourself, or add and remove zooms afterwards in the editor.
4. Control how the zooms feel — Set the zoom level, how long the camera holds, how fast it moves in and how aggressively nearby zooms merge. Changes show in the preview straight away, and you can regenerate the automatic zooms while keeping the ones you placed.
5. A polished frame — Put the recording on a coloured backdrop (Labwyze, Gold, Aurora, Ocean, Graphite or Dawn) with adjustable margin, rounded corners and shadow.
6. Webcam bubble — Add your webcam in a circle, square, rounded square, wide or portrait shape. Choose its size, border, shadow and mirroring, and drag it to any of six positions right on the preview.
7. Records the screen, with sound — Capture your screen asking for 60 frames per second (the real rate depends on your Mac), optionally with your microphone and your Mac's system audio.
8. A small pill that gets out of the way — While recording, the window shrinks to a small floating pill so it does not get in your shot, and it is not captured in the video. Stop from the pill or with ⌘⇧2.
9. Export a finished video — Export an MP4 when your Mac supports it, or WebM otherwise. The export plays the video back and records it, so it takes about as long as the video itself; keep the app open.
10. Your recordings, on your disk — Recordings live in a library on your Mac, one folder each. Rename them, show them in the Finder or delete them. Light, dark or automatic appearance, in English and French.
