ScreenSage ProTechnical Specifications
This page lists the exact parameters of ScreenSage Pro 0.4.12 so you can confirm them before buying or delivering. By default, recordings capture the screen's native pixels and exports are H.264 MP4 at the original size and 60 fps. In the UI, export parameters live in Export Settings (⌥⌘E), and recording parameters live in the options menu of the recording panel.

3. File-size reference
These ranges were measured with 0.4.12 on two projects: a screen-only recording and a screen-plus-camera talking-head video. The more the picture changes, the larger the file.
| Settings | Per minute | 10 minutes |
|---|---|---|
| 720p · 30 fps · H.264 Small | 6–7 MB | 60–70 MB |
| 1080p · 30 fps · H.264 Balanced | 16–21 MB | 160–210 MB |
| 1080p · 30 fps · H.264 High | 27–52 MB | 270–520 MB |
| 1080p · 60 fps · H.264 High | 35–65 MB | 350–650 MB |
| 1080p · 144 fps · H.264 High | 54–88 MB | 540–880 MB |
| 4K · 60 fps · H.264 High | 87–180 MB | 0.9–1.8 GB |
| 1080p · 30 fps · ProRes 4444 | 1.9–2.5 GB | 19–25 GB |
