Worth knowing
Cursorful
- The free plan is for non-commercial use, records only the browser and exports at up to 1080p; microphone, camera and 4K need Pro.
- The desktop apps need a Pro license to export, and the Mac app requires Apple silicon.
- Firefox is not supported, and in the extension automatic zooms work only while the browser is in focus.
- Cloud storage beyond the 10 GB included with Pro costs $0.02 per GB per month.
Screenity
- Sharing by link, the editor and cloud storage all need Pro; the free extension only saves to your device or Google Drive.
- Pro recordings are limited to 1 hour each and exports to 1080p.
- Captions are available in English only at present.
- The recorder is a Chrome extension and the editor runs in the browser; no desktop or mobile app is listed.
Key features
Cursorful
- Automatic zooms and pans
- A zoom is added when two or more clicks happen within 3 seconds and follows the cursor while clicking continues. Zooms can be added, removed and adjusted afterward.
- Segment timeline
- Zooms, speed changes, camera layouts and blur are segments on one timeline that can be trimmed, moved and stacked. Any segment can be sped up to 10x.
- Redrawn cursor in the desktop apps
- The desktop apps capture the pointer separately from the video, so it can be smoothed, resized and given sway, motion blur, a shadow and click animations.
- Captions and microphone denoising
- Captions are generated from the audio on the device and can be restyled. Denoising removes fan, hum and keyboard noise from narration, also on the device.
- Local rendering and aspect ratios
- Exports are rendered on the user's machine with hardware encoding, in ten aspect-ratio presets from ultrawide to portrait. 4K needs Pro.
- Shareable links
- A video can be exported to a streaming link that is public or private to an organization. Pro includes 10 GB of shared cloud storage.
Screenity
- Free Chrome recorder
- Records a tab, a window, a custom area or the whole screen with camera, microphone and tab audio. It needs no sign-in, has no recording limit and saves locally or to Google Drive.
- Drawing, blur and cursor spotlight
- While recording you can draw with a pen, arrows, shapes and text, blur anything private on the page, and dim everything except the cursor.
- Scene-based editor
- A Pro video is built from separate scenes that can be recorded on their own and reordered. Scenes can be split, trimmed, cut in the middle and sped up.
- Auto-zoom from clicks
- Clicks made while recording with the extension become zoom keyframes in the editor. Each one can be retimed, removed or added by hand.
- Word-by-word captions
- Audio is transcribed on Screenity's own servers in Europe and each word is highlighted as it is spoken. Captions can be styled and edited, and are English only for now.
- Layouts, overlays and share links
- Animated screen and camera layouts, browser and device frames, text and arrow overlays, backdrops and music. Pro shares a public or private link and exports MP4.
