Draw on your screen while you record.

Five tools, five colours

Pen, highlighter, arrow, rectangle and ellipse, from a palette above the recording bar.

Marks that stick

Point at a button, scroll, and the arrow moves with the page, whether you use a trackpad, mouse, keyboard or scroll bar. If the content goes out of sight, the mark hides until it comes back.

Blur while recording

Blur and pixelate a password field or an inbox as you go. They never fade, and if they lose track they stay put rather than uncover anything.

Draw, then carry on

Leave draw mode and your clicks go through to your apps while the marks stay put. Turn on fade and marks disappear three seconds after you draw them.

The palette and recording bar never appear in the video
The marks do, by design
For anything that must never be seen, also blur it in the editor

How sticking works

5

Any kind of scrolling

Trackpad, mouse wheel, keyboard and scroll bar

Moving windows

A mark follows a window being dragged

Out of sight

If its content leaves the screen, the mark hides, then comes back with it

Safe blur

A blur that loses track stays put rather than uncovering anything

Belt and braces

A live blur is a frame behind, so add an editor blur for anything that must never show

⌘

For software teams

Point at the new button as you talk about it, live, with no editing.

✦

For client work

Walk a client’s customers through a flow with marks that follow the page.
