FocuSee
Screen recorder that adds zooms and cursor effects automatically
What is FocuSee?
FocuSee is a screen recorder for Windows and Mac from iMobie that edits a recording as soon as it stops: it zooms in on clicks and typing, styles the cursor and arranges the webcam layout without manual keyframing. An editor adds annotations, blur, subtitles and 3D motion, and optional AI tools generate subtitles, clean up audio and cut filler words using credits. A free browser recorder, FocuSee Online, is also available.
FocuSee is a paid product with a free trial, starting at $49.99 per year for Standard ($19.99 billed monthly). See every plan
Good for
- Product demos and tutorials that need zooms without manual editing
- Presenters recording screen and webcam together with a teleprompter
- Buyers who prefer a one-time license to a subscription
Worth knowing
- Standard includes no AI credits: avatars, AI Subtitle, voice enhancement and filler-word removal need credits bought separately or Advanced.
- Subscription credits are valid for one month, and the one-time plan's 1,000 credits expire after a year.
- The one-time purchase covers FocuSee 2.x only; moving to the next major version costs an upgrade fee.
- Licenses are tied to computers (1 on Standard, 3 on Advanced, 5 on the one-time plan), and the free trial allows a single export.
Key features
- Automatic zoom and 3D motion
- Auto zoom follows clicks and typing to emphasize key actions with no manual keyframing, and 3D motion adds tilt and perspective that follows the cursor.
- Cursor styles and annotations
- The cursor fades when it is not needed and can be restyled with click animations and sounds. Annotations include text, shapes, arrows, callouts, spotlights and blur.
- Screen, webcam and audio recording
- Records the screen and webcam with microphone and system audio together, captures keyboard shortcuts and mobile devices, and includes camera layouts and a teleprompter.
- Subtitles
- The editor auto-generates subtitles in 9 languages on every plan. AI Subtitle covers 55+ languages but consumes AI credits.
- AI audio cleanup and smart cut
- AI voice enhancement and automatic removal of silences and filler words draw on AI credits, alongside AI noise reduction and webcam background removal.
- Export, sharing and FocuSee Online
- Exports MP4 or GIF at up to 4K and 60 FPS and shares by link, with 5 GB of cloud storage. FocuSee Online is a free browser recorder with zoom effects and no watermark.
