Edit a Generated Guide

Edit a generated guide: Edit steps — rewrite a step’s title, what the reader should do, and why it matters, straight in the preview

Edit a generated guide: Marks are live on the picture — drag a mark, resize it from eight handles, move an arrow’s tip and tail independently, drag its label, and retype a badge number or callout text

Edit a generated guide: Narration script — a new export that turns the step prose into a timed Markdown script at 150 words per minute, with 0:00–0:04 — Title cues and chapter headings

The redaction review, made workable: Queued boxes survive the trip to the video and back — the hint always promised it; now it is true. Leaving for the library still clears the queue, and overwriting or cropping a step clears that step’s

The redaction review, made workable: Move, resize and reorder a queued box — drag the body, pull a corner handle, drag a rail row to reorder, or select one and nudge it with the arrow keys (hold Shift for 10 px)

The redaction review, made workable: Zoom, pan and a loupe — ⌘+scroll or pinch to zoom, space-drag or middle-drag to pan, and past ~150% a 4× loupe with a crosshair follows the pointer while you draw

The redaction review, made workable: Preview result paints the queued boxes as the solid fill that will actually ship, so you can check coverage before there is no going back

The redaction review, made workable: Crop is its own mode with a single dashed region and an aspect lock (Free, 16:9, 4:3, 1:1) — it no longer silently uses the last redaction box you drew, and the commit button reads Crop to this region · W × H

The redaction review, made workable: Overwriting no longer freezes the window — the button says Encoding PNG… then Saving…, and a second commit while one is running is refused

The redaction review, made workable: Show target outlines the control the step interacted with, for orientation only — it is never part of the saved image

Devices you can walk around: The device is real geometry now — a body with thickness, a hinge, and depth, instead of a flat panel with a gradient

Devices you can walk around: Device finish — Graphite, Silver, Midnight, Starlight, Charcoal or Slate, depending on the model

Devices you can walk around: Floor reflection under the device, from off to full

Devices you can walk around: The camera can go anywhere — the pose turns a full 360° and tilts up to 85°, so a shot from the side or above the deck is a real framing rather than the steepest angle that used to be allowed

Devices you can walk around: Four new b-roll moves — Spiral up, Tilt up, Top down and Profile pass, alongside the existing angles

Devices you can walk around: A sharper posed picture — the stage is rendered above its display size and filtered in linear light, and the editor now draws at the resolution your panel actually shows, so the recording’s text stays legible on a turned screen

Finish — how the stage is lit: Screen reflection, ambient glow, film grain, depth of field and handheld drift, each with its own strength

Finish — how the stage is lit: Lighting — Auto, Warm, Cool, Dramatic or Neutral; Auto follows the device

Finish — how the stage is lit: Match-cut device swaps — changing the mockup across a cut cross-fades instead of popping

Finish — how the stage is lit: Automatic touches — the vignette strengthens during fast moves, and the redrawn cursor winds up about 80 ms before each press

Finish — how the stage is lit: The Feature-demo style refuses some of these on purpose, greys the control and says which one; switching back gives you your settings again

Finish — how the stage is lit: None of it re-opens the review gate — it changes how the take looks, not which pixels ship

Sound: Mute recorded sound for the export while the source files stay untouched

Sound: Improve microphone audio — normalize to a speech target with a measured loudness readout

Sound: Clean voice — high-pass, light compression and a soft gate applied at mix time only

Sound: Duck under speech from 0 to 100%, so system audio and the score drop while someone is talking

Sound: Click sound under each cursor press — Tick, Pop, Key or none

Sound: Snap cuts to music under Timing nudges a cut within ~120 ms onto the nearest hit; drag it off afterwards and it stays off

Captions and chapter cards: Import SRT or VTT, and export either one from the panel

Captions and chapter cards: Nameplate — a lower third with the take’s title over the first three seconds

Captions and chapter cards: Chapter cards — two-second full-frame cards at each recorded step, with the audio running underneath

Captions and chapter cards: Pro unlocks caption styling — typeface, size, word colour, the plate behind the words and all-caps. Captions themselves, the transcript and both sidecar formats are free, and a free install gets clean captions in the system face rather than none

Captions and chapter cards: Transcription still runs on this machine (macOS); on Windows and Linux, import a file or type the words

Assist — suggestions you accept or ignore: Dead air points at the silence, filler and idle scan, and each stretch it finds can be cut

Assist — suggestions you accept or ignore: B-roll at hard cuts lists the pose jumps that read as harsh and can add an interlude at that gap

Assist — suggestions you accept or ignore: Grade from the picture reads the frame under the playhead and offers a background and lighting to match

Assist — suggestions you accept or ignore: Highlight reel finds the busiest windows and can replace the cut with a short teaser

Assist — suggestions you accept or ignore: Accepting a cut or a highlight reel changes what ships and asks you to watch it back; grade and b-roll do not

Editor and export workflow: Keyboard shortcut overlay — press ? for the full list

Editor and export workflow: Snapshots — save a named, timestamped copy of the project and restore it later

Editor and export workflow: Copy look / Paste look between clips, so one shot’s device, ground and pose can be handed to another

Editor and export workflow: Masks are directly editable — draw with M, drag the corner handles to resize, and trim a mask’s start and end on the timeline

Editor and export workflow: Apply one zoom to every other zoom in the clip, and an auto-pause that holds the camera 250 ms longer when two clicks land inside 800 ms

Editor and export workflow: Burn captions into the file, or keep the picture clean and write SRT and VTT beside the MP4

Editor and export workflow: Chapter sidecar — a YouTube-format .chapters.txt built from chapter cards or clip cuts

Editor and export workflow: Capture this frame as the take’s thumbnail, saved with the recording

Editor and export workflow: Export presets — name a combination of resolution, frame rate, quality, aspect and caption settings, then apply it to any take

Settings: A free-versus-Pro table on the licence card, open by default whether you hold a licence or not — the first three rows exist to say that every recorder, all of redaction and every exporter are included on both sides

Settings: Renew updates appears once a build is past its twelve-month window, and Buy another licence covers a second set of machines

A denied permission opens the exact settings pane — Screen Recording, Camera, Microphone or Accessibility, rather than always landing on the screen one

Speech level is applied on every export path — a take with narration and no score used to export at the raw level

Re-checking a licence repairs its local record rather than needing one to already be there, so an install restored from a backup can recover on its own

A pose is the Maker’s range, not a readability limit — the camera is free to turn all the way around, and the director is what declines a back-facing move over a moment the viewer needs to read
