2. Record

1. Click Start recording, or press ↩. For a window or an area, click the window or drag over the area first.
2. A short countdown runs. Click it to start straight away.
3. Do your demo. Talk as you go and click the things you want people to see. Cinemac zooms in on each click later.
4. Click Stop in the recording bar, or press ⌥⇧⌘2.

The recording bar, the countdown and the camera bubble are never in your video.

3. Look at the edit

Cinemac finishes the recording and opens the editor. Press Space to play. Your video already has:

• a zoom on every click, easing in and out,
• a smooth cursor in place of the jumpy one,
• a background, rounded corners and a soft shadow,
• your voice levelled to a comfortable volume.

Want to change something? A tour of the editor shows where everything is.

4. Export

1. Click Export at the top right, or press ⌘E.
2. Leave the settings as they are for a good MP4, or pick a different Quality and Resolution.
3. Click Export. When it's done, click Reveal in Finder, or Copy to paste the video into Slack, Mail or anywhere else.
