About ScreenCursor
ScreenCursor is a Chrome extension that records the screen and hands back a finished video whose camera moves are already applied. Clicks, drags and keystrokes each turn into a zoom that arrives just before the action, holds steady and follows the cursor, so there is nothing to place by hand. Recording, editing and export all happen in the browser and nothing is uploaded.
Zooms can be retimed, deepened, switched between snappy and gentle motion or deleted, and a focus point can be set for any zoom. The editor splits and cuts clips, with zooms moving with the cut, and adds wallpaper, gradient or image backgrounds, a browser frame with the page title, rounded corners and aspect ratios. Export is MP4 at up to 1080p. It works offline, has no watermark or account, and a license covers up to three computers. Pricing is a single payment, listed at an early price of $49 against $79, with updates included.
