Interaction Recording

Interaction recording saves mouse, keyboard, and text-cursor events alongside the video. Cursor effects, click highlights, auto zooms, text-cursor zooms, and keystroke overlays depend on this data.

Check Permissions

Keyboard tracking and some interaction features require macOS Accessibility permission. The first time you use them, follow the prompt to open System Settings and allow ScreenSage Pro.

If permission is missing, video recording can still work, but keystroke overlays, click feedback, or text-cursor effects may be incomplete.

What Gets Recorded

Depending on the recording mode and permission status, ScreenSage Pro can save:

  • Mouse movement and click events for cursor animation, click feedback, and automatic following.
  • Keyboard events for the Keystroke track and shortcut overlays.
  • Text-cursor positions for text-cursor zooms.

These events are stored as project resources. You normally do not need to open the raw event files.

Use Events After Recording

After recording, continue refining the related effects in the editor:

PRO TIP

For tutorials and product demos, enable interaction recording before you start. Re-creating mouse and keyboard events later is usually harder than recording them with the video.
