Hey Product Hunt,
Screen Studio 4.0 is here, and it's our biggest update yet.
Screen Studio records your Mac and turns it into a polished video. Zooms, a smooth cursor, and framing happen for you.
What's new:
• Glass Loupe. Magnify one detail under a glass lens, without moving the whole screen like a classic zoom does.
• Camera cutout. Appear in front of your screen without your background. No green screen.
• Edit by transcript. Delete a sentence from the transcript to cut it from your video. Filler words and long pauses are found for you.
• Split screen. You and your screen side by side, or stacked for vertical video. Every layout change animates on its own.
• Hide sensitive data and faces. Emails, phone numbers, card numbers, and keys are covered, and faces are blurred, even while you scroll.
• Sharper zooms. We trained our own model on macOS screenshots, so zoomed-in text stays sharp. Small custom cursors get upscaled too.
• Up to 4x faster exports. Plus ProRes for Final Cut Pro, DaVinci Resolve, and Premiere Pro.
• New audio engine. Scrub without clicks, keep your voice in sync with your camera, and make a quiet mic loud with the new Loud mode.
There's more: face tracking, color grading with LUTs, new caption styles, native macOS menus, J, K, and L playback shortcuts, and keyboard shortcuts that look like your Mac's keys.
And this isn't the end. We have more updates coming soon, and we can't wait to show you.
To celebrate, the Product Hunt community gets 20% off the first year of a yearly plan with code HELLOHUNTERS until 8 November.
What would you like to see in Screen Studio next? We read every comment.
@pie6k Can it automatically blur sensitive details in recording or di i need select them manually?
@merlindru
oky i will try it today and share my experience review tomorrow
@shivam_kushwaha16 Thank you! If it's not a hassle, it'd be great if you could share to team@screen.studio too. Then the entire team sees it.
@merlindru sure
@pie6k How well does the new transcript based editing work with longer recording, especially when removing multiples sections without affecting the video flow??
@pie6k @amrita_prajapati2 Hi Amrita! Easiest is to try it on a long recording of yours: https://screen.studio/download. Would love to hear how it works for you :D
@pie6k An incredible product and yet you manage to push it further every time, GG on the launch!
@pie6k @christophepas Thank you!
I was one of the very early users of screen studio, and bought the annual license for recording demos for my apps, the experience has been nothing less than amazing. Although my license does not get updates anymore, its still very useful, happy to see this still receiving updates and improving. 🫶
@ankushkun Thank you Ankush, it means a lot that you’ve been with us since the early days 🫶 Drop me a line at david@screen.studio, maybe we can figure something out for you to try 4.0.
@dawid_wilewski sure thing! just sent an email
@ankushkun I just had the same problem, built and open sourced it -> https://bestboy.dev/grip
No need to mail anyone to start getting updates, or worry about unnecessary subscription costs. Feedback from early users had been nothing but fantastic. I'd love to hear yours too!
@ankushkun same here as well. I purchased the annual license before the new updates. Im unable to get new updates but I recently used it last Friday to share a demo and my team is still blown away by it. I recommended they check out the project.
@ankushkun @charles_anim You can email me, Charles!

Congrats! Love the product :))
What i would love to see if an option to generate a youtube description based on the transcript, a title and youtube thumbnail and push the video directly to youtube channel.
Would be such a massive time savior.
@mensur_zahirovic
Thank you!
We had some ideas to do a similar thing for our shareable links. I don’t see a reason why it couldn’t be done for YT 🤔
@dawid_wilewski that would be awesome. I personally create tons of tutorials for youtube with screenstudio.
But everytime i need to click generate transcript, save it, paste into chatgpt to generate video description. Go to youtube, upload video, copy paste title and generated description, generate thumbnail publish.
All this can be done in 2 clicks in screen studio. And im sure there is tons of peopne using your tool for tutorials and for youtube content.
I absolutely love Screen Studio, just renewed my annual license for the second year.
The amount of abandoned open source and free alternatives to it is ridiculous, and Screen Studio gets it -- because they charge money to make their business running.
The new glass loupe thingy is awesome, I just finished making a batch of videos with it (you can see the date is yesterday in my calendar on my dock 😄)
Appreciate all the had work and updates Adam, looking forward to see what other beautiful features you decide to give us in the future.
Upvoted.
@matan_hazan Thanks Matan! This screenshot looks stunning.
@dawid_wilewski Thank you! It's thanks to your hard work ❤️
@matan_hazan Amazing image.
@merlindru Appreciate it :-)
i'm very interested in the Hide sensitive data and faces automatically part. as someone who's working on a pre-launch product, we're very careful on showing product demos, i'm wondering does it catch text inside the app (like chat messages) as well, or only things like emails and faces?
@khanh_murror Hi Khanh! It automatically covers emails, phone numbers, card numbers and keys, and “Hide faces” blurs faces like avatars and people in video calls. It won’t hide whole chat messages on its own, but you can add custom phrases like your product name or client names, and it covers them wherever they show up. For anything else, you can draw a sensitive data mask over that part of the screen.
Genuinely, one of the best desktop b2b products out there. We bought it for the whole funding team of our startup (mitzu.io).
I love to see how this “not so little” tool is improving. I purchased the first version ever. Now we are at 4, really looking forward to test it
@istvanmeszaros88 Sending love to the Mitzu team 💜
Glass Loupe sounds fun, if it does what I think it does.
@jamie_hanratty 🔍😊
@kalingwu Love hearing this from an early adopter :D Thanks! And we’re not slowing down, more updates are coming soon.
@nimrodkramer Thanks Nimrod, glad you like it! Wait till you see what we’re already cooking for v5 :D
I have been a user for a while (ltd member of early version of screen studio). Absolutely love the software and great to see the product still getting updates and succeeding in the fast pace arena of tech!
Thank you team for making it easier for me to record YouTube videos, SOPs and demos!
@jonathan_scorey Thanks Jonathan! Since you record for YouTube, would uploading straight from Screen Studio to YouTube be useful for you?
