Auto-zoom and a padded canvas are table stakes now. These are the parts the category leader is structurally unlikely to answer.
ProRes 4444 or HEVC with a real alpha channel, drop shadow intact. Drop the recording straight into Final Cut, After Effects, a landing page or a deck — no background baked in.
Screen Studio renders onto a background. There is no transparent export.
Every camera move is a block you can drag, retime to the hundredth of a second, deepen or delete. Re-run the director and your edits survive untouched.
Screen Studio cut zoom control down to two presets.
Your product changed. Record it again and keep the canvas, framing, cursor and caption styling — the camera track is re-derived from the new take, and hand-edited moves are carried across.
Everywhere else, a new recording means starting the edit over.
Everything happens on your machine, through Metal. No upload, no queue, no per-minute rendering fee — and nothing leaves the Mac.
Measured on an Apple silicon MacBook Air. Your numbers will differ.
