Automatic zoom
Whether it's a tiny dropdown, a code editor line, or a settings panel, DeskRec recognises the action and frames it beautifully.
- Zooms in on clicks and significant mouse movement.
- Smooth spring-based pan and zoom — never janky.
- Traditional "follow the cursor" is the default, so nothing breaks.
Cursor smoothing & annotations
Your cursor gets a gentle, natural feel, and you can annotate directly over the recording as you narrate.
- In-marker drawing to highlight any part of the screen.
- Smooth cursor easing reduces dizziness in fast demos.
- Clean visually-pleasing strokes that read well even compressed.
