Recording your screen should be three decisions, not thirty: what to capture, whether your voice comes along, and whether your face does. Supercut records the screen, your microphone, and your camera as three separate tracks, then drops the take onto a timeline that has already framed and styled it. All of it runs on your own machine, so nothing is uploaded, and exports carry no watermark.
There are three shapes of capture and they are not interchangeable. A whole screen shows everything, including notifications, your tab strip, and anything you forgot was open. A single window shows one app and keeps the rest of your desktop out of it, which is usually the right call for a walkthrough. A browser tab is the tightest of all, and in Chrome it is also the option that can bring the tab's own audio along. Then decide about sound and face. Your microphone is what you say. System audio is what the machine plays, which matters when the product you are showing makes noise. Your camera is optional and can be added or dropped later, because Supercut keeps it as its own layer rather than baking it into the picture. Choosing all this up front is what saves you the second take.
The browser recorder works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc with nothing to install. You pick a screen, window, or tab through the browser's own dialog, and in Chrome you can bring audio from a shared tab. What the browser cannot do is watch your cursor outside the page, so there are no automatic zooms and the pointer is part of the recorded picture. The desktop app can see more of the machine. It captures the audio playing on your computer, on both macOS and Windows, and it samples your cursor about sixty times a second while you record. That cursor track is what makes automatic zooms possible: where the pointer settles becomes a candidate for a push-in. On macOS it also records clicks, so a click counts even when the cursor keeps moving, and when you capture a whole display the pointer is left out of the video and redrawn afterwards, which is what lets you restyle it. On Windows, and on a macOS window capture, the pointer is part of the recorded frames.
Screen, microphone, and camera are recorded separately. That is the reason the camera bubble stays movable, resizable, and removable after the take, instead of being welded into the picture the moment you stop. It also means you can mute or delete a track later without touching the others. A count-in of three or five seconds gives you a moment to get set, and it runs after you pick the source rather than before it. Pause and resume as often as you need: the paused time is folded out of the final length, so the recording does not carry a gap where you stepped away, and the cursor track is retimed to match so the zooms still land where you were pointing.
The take lands on the Studio timeline already framed: sitting on a backdrop with padding, rounded corners, and a shadow, so it looks composed rather than like a raw desktop capture. The backdrops are drawn in the page with CSS and SVG rather than loaded as images, which is why the preview and the exported file look the same. From there it is an ordinary edit. Trim the dead air, add or adjust zooms, caption it with the on-device transcriber, resize the camera bubble or drop it, then export an mp4 or a GIF. Nothing has been uploaded at any point, so an unreleased product, an internal dashboard, or a customer record on screen stays on the machine that recorded it.
Open Supercut, switch to the Editor tab, and start a recording. Nothing installs in the browser, and the desktop app for Mac and Windows does the same job with system audio and cursor tracking added.
Choose the narrowest thing that shows what you mean. A single window keeps your desktop, your notifications, and your tab strip out of the recording without you having to tidy them.
Turn on the microphone if you are narrating and the camera if you want a bubble. Set the capture quality and a count-in of three or five seconds while you are here.
The count-in runs, then you are rolling. Pause whenever you need to reset something on screen and resume when you are ready; the paused time is left out of the final length.
Stop, and the take appears on the timeline already framed on a backdrop. Trim, add zooms, caption it, then export an mp4 or a GIF. The whole thing ran on your device.
Record your screen, mic and camera in the browser, then polish the result. Backdrop, rounded corners and zooms, all local. Nothing is uploaded, no watermark.
Add auto-captions to any video in your browser. On-device transcription with viral caption styles, no upload, your footage and audio stay private.
Trim and cut video in your browser. Drop a clip, say where to cut, and download it, your footage never leaves your device. No upload, no watermark to start.
Trim lessons, add captions for accessibility, clean up audio, and cut promo clips, all in your browser. Unreleased course content never leaves your device.
Make promos and social ads by typing what you want, in your browser. No editor to hire, no software to learn, and your footage never uploads.
No. The browser recorder works in Chrome, Edge, Brave, and Arc with nothing to install. The desktop app for Mac and Windows adds system audio and cursor tracking, which is what makes automatic zooms possible.
In the browser, Chrome can capture the audio of a shared tab. The desktop app records the audio playing on the whole machine, on both macOS and Windows, alongside your microphone.
No. Recording, editing, and export all happen on your device. There is no server copy and no share link, because the file never leaves your machine. That is the point for anything showing customer data, internal tools, or an unreleased product.
Yes. The screen, your microphone, and your camera are recorded as three separate tracks, and the camera is never baked into the picture, so you can move, resize, or remove the bubble after the take.
No watermark. Length is bounded by your own disk and memory rather than by a plan tier, though long recordings of large screens are heavier on both. You can try your first export with no account, and a paid plan unlocks unlimited exports and every tool, from 4.99 per month billed yearly (59.88 per year), 9.99 monthly, or 199 one-time lifetime.
