Capture

• Record everything you see on your screen at up to a full 30 frames per second and capture video from an iSight or a DV camera
• Narrate your captures or capture the sound coming from your speakers as you're recording
• SmartFocus technology monitors the location of the text cursor and mouse pointer and automatically crops the captured video to keep clear focus on the action

Edit

• Add images, title slides or music - media files can be easily imported into your capture
• Organise media on the timeline through simple drag-and-drop and easily crop and move clips
• Easily overlay video tracks on the timeline to create picture-in-picture effects and cross fades
• Remove and relocate clips without affecting other clips on the timeline and separate audio from video so it's easy to remove mistaken clicks and sounds
• Edit anything you see on the canvas directly or using the properties panel - rotate, crop and move any video clips, shapes or text.
• Transition from different clips - fade, slide, zoom and more
• Add filters such as drop shadow, glow, reflection or colour change onto any video clip, image, shape or text
• Add action effects to any point in the video - apply fades, flips, spins or zoom
• Audio effects - adjust the volume and fading in and out of audio during the video
• Add text and shapes to label and draw attention to specific actions happening on screen - such objects are easy to edit using action and filter effects
• Keyframing - create your own video actions, keyframing lets you alter clip properties such as size and transparency over time
