Overview

Good recording quality removes half of your editing work later. Use this guide to capture footage that is clean, readable, and ready for timeline edits. [insert screenshot of recording setup panel with source selection, resolution options, and record button]

​
Before you start

  • Close notifications, chat popups, and unrelated browser tabs.
  • Set your product/app to the exact state you want viewers to see.
  • Confirm aspect ratio and resolution match your target output.

​
Steps

  1. Choose recording scope
    • Record the exact window or display needed for the walkthrough.
  2. Run a short test clip
    • Verify text readability, cursor visibility, and frame smoothness.
  3. Record in sections
    • Stop at natural chapter points to simplify later trimming.
  4. Wait for processing
    • Upload complete and processing complete are separate states.
  5. Insert into timeline
    • Place the recording in the right scene, then do a quick preview pass.

​
Check your result

  • Screen text is readable at normal playback speed.
  • The recording appears as ready and inserts cleanly into timeline.
  • No major visual noise (notifications, accidental windows) remains.

​
Troubleshooting

​
Recording uploaded but is not editable yet

Wait for processing readiness before advanced edits. Refresh the asset state once if it appears stuck.

​
Output is blurry

Re-record with higher source resolution and consistent display scaling.

​
Cursor or key actions are hard to follow

Use zoom/callout overlays in editing, or re-record with clearer pointer movement.
