Step 1 - Record your screen

Updated over a week ago

VideoScripter Recorder is a client application specifically designed to capture your screen for optimal results. Currently, the application is only available for macOS.

Like other screen recording tools, VideoScripter Recorder allows you to record your entire screen, a specific application, a selected area, or even a portable device.

Additionally, you have several options to enhance your recording experience: you can hide desktop icons (they won’t appear in the recording but will remain visible to you), set a countdown timer to prepare before recording, hide the Dock or the VideoScripter app icon, and mute notifications during your recording session.

What’s unique about the Recorder?

Unlike traditional screen recorders the Recorder app doesn't only capture your screen but it gathers important metadata such as mouse movements, captures Thumbnail Markers and their corresponding labels during recording, which are used to help AI create narration scripts and to align your narration with the video. Tracking the position of your mouse cursor enables you to resize the cursor in your final video or apply smoothing effects to your mouse movements.

Adjust screen size

If you are planning to record the contents of a browser tab it's recommended to exclude the frame of the browser window and the address bar from your recording.

  • Before you hit record, click the Adjust Recording Area button on the recording toolbar.

  • Drag the recording area borders so you exclude the window’s header and address bar. This removes unnecessary clutter from your recording and keeps the viewer’s attention on the main content.Pause during recording

Pause during recording

Keyboard shortcuts can be particularly useful when recording longer videos, switching between screens, or reviewing your script before continuing. You can pause and resume the video using Ctrl + Cmd + P (Mac) or Ctrl + Alt + P (Windows).

When the session is paused, the recording bar will begin to blink red, making it clear that it’s not actively recording.

While paused, you’re free to change tabs, review your notes, or open another application to get ready for the next segment of your recording.

To continue recording, press the Resume button or use the same keyboard shortcut. Your recording will pick up exactly where you left off, providing a seamless final product for your viewers.
