## Key features

- **Screen and audio capture:** Records the full screen or a custom area together with system audio and your voice, in up to 4K. Used for calls, webinars, online courses and software demos.
- **Webcam overlay and drawing:** Overlays a webcam video on the screencast and lets you draw pointers and shapes on the recording while it is in progress.
- **Cursor and keystroke highlighting:** Highlights the mouse cursor, clicks and keystrokes so viewers of a tutorial can follow which keys and buttons were pressed.
- **Recording scheduler:** Set the date and time for a capture to start and finish, so a webinar or stream is recorded while you are away from the computer.
- **Scrolling screenshots:** Captures content that does not fit on one screen as a single scrolling screenshot, alongside ordinary screenshots taken during a recording.
- **AI noise reduction and trimming:** Reduces background sounds while recording, and a built-in editor trims the result. Fuller editing comes from the separate Movavi Video Editor.
