# Tella

> Screen recorder with a built-in editor, layouts and 4K export

Tella records your screen, camera and audio and pairs the recorder with an editor for trimming, layouts, zooms, captions and sound cleanup. Screen and camera are captured as separate tracks, so the layout can be changed after recording. Finished videos are shared by link or exported in up to 4K. Tella has no free plan; new workspaces get a 7-day trial of Pro.

## Key features

- **Separate screen and camera tracks:** Screen and camera are recorded as separate tracks, so you can change the layout, resize the camera or hide either source afterwards.
- **Editor with layouts and zooms:** Trim and split clips, switch between side-by-side, picture-in-picture and full-screen layouts, and add zoom effects and backgrounds.
- **Transcript-based editing:** Remove mistakes and filler words by deleting them from the transcript. Transcription covers 106 languages and can be shown as captions.
- **AI assistance:** AI generates titles, chapters and automatic layouts from the transcript, and can turn a video into a summary or document.
- **Link sharing and analytics:** Share a video by link or embed it and track viewers. Paid plans have no storage or bandwidth limits and no cap on video count.
- **API, webhooks and MCP server:** A public REST API, webhooks and an MCP server for assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT are included on every plan.

## Good for

- Product demos and tutorials that need more polish than a raw screen capture
- People who want to record in the browser without installing an app
- Teams that want hosted video links with viewer analytics

## Worth knowing

- There is no free plan: once the trial ends, existing videos can be viewed and shared, but recording, editing and export need a subscription.
- Monthly billing costs about twice the yearly rate: $26 versus $13 per user / month on Pro.
- There is no mobile app, and editing is desktop-only; phones and tablets can record quick camera videos in the browser.
- Custom domains, branding removal, advanced analytics and 60 FPS export beyond 5 minutes need Premium.
