Product demo recording
Record the walkthrough once. ReScreen zooms to your clicks, steadies the pointer, frames your camera and exports up to 4K — on your Mac, with nothing uploaded.
The problem
Recording the demo takes ten minutes. Making it watchable takes the afternoon: a 4K screen shrunk into a small player so nobody can read the button you pressed, zooms keyframed one click at a time, a loading spinner to cut around, and a second export because the first came out the wrong shape.
What happens instead
Pick the Product Demo preset — 4K at 60 frames per second — and record the window you are demonstrating. Every click becomes a zoom you can move or delete, the pointer is redrawn larger and steadier, a slow loading screen can run at double speed, and the same take exports as a landscape MP4 for your site and a vertical cut for the feeds.
In detail
The built-in Product Demo preset records at 4K and 60 frames per second with a 1.4× zoom, so interface motion stays smooth and text stays sharp when a zoom magnifies it. Save your own variation as a preset for the next release.
Clicks, drags and scrolls become zoom blocks while you record, grouped so a five-field form is one steady zoom instead of five lurches — and every block stays yours to move, retime or delete.
Record one window or one application instead of the whole display, so a second monitor, another app or a chat notification never reaches the take. The recorder’s own windows are left out of the capture.
Destination tiles reframe the finished edit for YouTube, LinkedIn, X, Shorts, Reels, TikTok and the Instagram feed, so the website demo and the social cut come from the same recording.

FAQ
Start from the Product Demo preset: 4K at 60 frames per second with a 1.4× zoom. The resolution keeps small interface text sharp when a zoom magnifies it, and 60 FPS keeps scrolling and pointer movement smooth. Record a single window or application rather than the whole display.
Yes. Stopping the recording opens the take in ReScreen’s timeline, where you split, trim, ripple-delete and change the speed of a section. Titles, captions and music are not included, so add those in another editor or on the platform where the video will live.
No. Recording, editing and export all run on your Mac, and ReScreen has no server that receives video. A demo environment full of customer-like data stays on the machine it was recorded on, and you decide where the finished file goes.
