How is ScreenCam different from browser-based recorders?

ScreenCam is built for macOS as a native recording and editing app. The goal is a compact Mac-first workflow with local capture, smooth editing controls, and preview-accurate export.

What's the minimum macOS version required?

ScreenCam requires macOS 15 or later.

Is there a Windows version?

Yes. The Windows version is now in beta on the Microsoft Store. It hasn't been officially released yet, so expect some rough edges while testing continues.

Can I export to different formats?

ScreenCam is designed for high-quality video export from the editor, with framing and motion controls reflected in the final output.

How does the zoom feature work?

You can add zoom points anywhere on your timeline. In manual mode, you have complete control: set multiple anchors with different zoom levels and focus centers. Transitions include smooth motion blur effects.

Does it support multiple monitors?

ScreenCam is built for Mac screen recording workflows, including connected displays, windows, and capture regions.
