Choose a Video Workflow

The same recording can become a product demo, a promotional video, a vertical short, a beat-driven fast cut, or a presenter tutorial. Choose the result first; it determines the canvas, tracks, templates, and effects worth using.

Product Demo

Goal: make the product flow and each important action easy to follow. Start in 16:9 for websites and presentations, or use 9:16 when the final destination is mobile.

1. Use Demo Mode to reduce desktop distractions, and enable Interaction Recording.
2. Guide attention with Auto 2D Zoom, Cursor Effects, Mask Focus, or the Keystroke Track.
3. Remove pauses and detours with Trimming or Smart Clipping, then add Smart Captions when narration matters.
4. Export a video for a full walkthrough, or a GIF for one short interaction.

Product Promo

Goal: turn a small set of product highlights into a paced launch video. A 16:9 canvas is the usual starting point; a vertical reveal template can produce a mobile version.

1. Keep only the actions and result frames that communicate value.
2. Use the Template Browser or 3D Motion Actions to establish camera rhythm.
3. Apply one consistent Background, Cursor Style, and camera treatment throughout the sequence.
4. Choose Background Music. Templates that support beat analysis can place changes on detected rhythm points.

Vertical Social Video

Goal: recompose screen, presenter, and captions for a 9:16 canvas.

1. Set Canvas and Aspect Ratio to 9:16 before arranging the content.
2. Use Dynamic Layouts to stack screen and camera, or switch focus to the presenter.
3. Use 2D or Auto 3D Zoom so desktop controls remain readable on a narrow frame.
4. Generate Smart Captions, then position them away from the main interaction.

Beat-Driven Fast Cut

Goal: sample a long recording into short shots that change with the music rhythm.

1. Open the Template Browser and choose a Flash template. Decide whether the result should keep sampled frames, add 3D treatment, or use cuts only.
2. Choose built-in or library music. Beat analysis uses up to the first 60 seconds of the selected track.
3. Choose the available beat density or interval, then inspect the detected markers in the template preview.
4. Preview the result before applying it. After it is written to the timeline, refine the cuts and Music Track like any other edit.

Presenter Tutorial

Goal: move naturally between the speaker, screen actions, and captions.

1. Prepare the take with the Teleprompter, Camera, and Microphone.
2. Tighten the narration with Smart Clipping, and use Audio Noise Reduction for steady microphone noise.
3. Use Dynamic Layouts for picture-in-picture, side-by-side, screen-only, or camera-only sections.
4. Add captions, keystrokes, and moderate zooms only where they help the viewer follow the explanation.
