Full screen
Capture an entire display when the relationship between apps or regions matters.
Screen recording
Record something polished before there is anything to edit.
Frame the screen, add your webcam, choose audio, and record the composition you want viewers to see. What you record is uploaded—without a separate render, export, and hosting routine.

PRESENTATION-READY RECORDING
Good-looking video, right from the start.
- 01Compose the frame
- 02Record with live controls
- 03Stop, upload, and share
Choose the right scope
Record only as much screen as the explanation needs.
Use a full display for a broad walkthrough, a window to keep the subject focused, or an area for a precise demonstration. Creator Shots supports the same recording modes on macOS and Windows.
One window
Keep the recording centered on the application where the work happens.
Selected region
Drag around the exact area that should be recorded and leave everything else out.
Webcam layer
Add a circle, square, or rounded rectangle; resize it, use a corner preset, or drag it into position.
Presentation frames
Compose the finished look while you prepare to record.
Place your source above a built-in gradient, a solid color, or a custom local background. Adjust spacing, rounded corners, and shadow so support answers and educational walkthroughs feel deliberate without post-production.
- Live preview before recording
- Built-in gradients and solid colors
- Custom local background images
- Adjustable padding, corner radius, and shadow
No export queue
The composed canvas is the recording. Stop and move directly into the upload flow.
Personal when useful
Add a webcam layer to make teaching, coaching, and customer support feel more human.
Audio and control
Stay in control without exposing the controls.
Choose a microphone, system audio, or both. A floating toolbar stays out of the finished recording while giving you elapsed time, pause and resume, microphone mute, discard, and stop-and-upload controls.
Microphone preview
See a live level before recording and monitor microphone activity from the recording toolbar.
System audio
Include desktop sound on its own or combine it with your microphone narration.
Pause and resume
Take a breath or prepare the next step without ending the whole recording.
Confirmed discard
Avoid losing a useful take because of an accidental click.
After recording
Keep edits local and the link stable.
Open a recent video from the desktop panel to trim its start and end or remove one section from the middle. Creator Shots renders the change locally, replaces the media, and preserves the existing share URL.
Focused trimming
Remove setup time, an ending pause, or one unwanted middle section without using a full video editor.
Automatic upload
Stop the recording and upload it directly rather than exporting to disk and manually choosing a host.
Moment reactions
Viewers can react at an exact playback second and revisit those moments from timeline markers.
View state
See whether the recording was opened, with rolling 30-day response analytics on paid plans.
Choose the right finish
Fast sharing for everyday recordings.
Creator Shots is designed for clear walkthroughs, lessons, support, and feedback. Use the built-in trim for simple cleanup, or a dedicated editor when a project needs captions, layered editing, or production-level post-processing.
- Use a screenshot when stillness is enough
- Use video for motion, sequence, narration, training, or personal assistance
- Use a dedicated editor when the work genuinely needs production-level post-processing
Screenshot instead?
Quick answers, documentation, and numbered steps are often easier to scan as a still image.
