What OwnClip does, by the job you need doing

OwnClip records your screen, then gives you the editing, markup and document tools that usually live in four other apps. Each of the 27 pages below covers one job, and shows the real app doing it.

Recording

What OwnClip captures, and how the take is set up before you press record.

A screen recorder built for the Mac

Record your screen, your camera and your audio, then keep working in the same app. The recording opens in an editor instead of landing in a folder as a file you still have to deal with.

Onboarding videos you only record once

You have given the same onboarding walkthrough four times already. Recording it pays off only if next quarter’s change is an edit to the project rather than another afternoon of filming.

A Mac video editor that opens on your recording

A video editor for Mac normally opens empty and waits for an import. This one opens on the take you just stopped — already on the timeline, its tools down one side, and nothing you do written back into the original file. Choose Combine Recordings to put several takes in one project and cut them into one video, clip by clip.
