Built on ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, and Metal for native performance

At a glance

Capture, context, and polish in one place.

Capture the full session

Record screen, webcam, system audio, microphone, plus keystrokes and scroll telemetry in a native macOS app built for tutorials, demos, and walkthroughs.

Bring in app context

Stream metadata from VS Code-family editors so the recording carries file paths, cursor positions, and function scope, not just pixels.

Ship safely with redactions baked in

Auto-detect API keys and tokens, draw rectangles over anything else sensitive, and have blur or pixelate baked into the final export, never the source recording.

Shape the final story faster

Shorts formatting, webcam keying, 3D punch camera moves, annotations, image and SVG overlays, text replacements, background music, and a keyboard HUD all live in the same timeline.

Capture

A recording setup built for developer demos from the start.

Fraime.it gives you the fundamentals: reliable screen capture, webcam, and audio that let you record the real walkthrough instead of stitching together disconnected sources later. Under the hood, the app leans on ScreenCaptureKit, AVFoundation, and a Metal-based compositing path so preview and export stay fast.

  • Screen and window capture with native macOS performance
  • Import videos or record follow-up screencast segments into an existing project
  • Optional webcam track and live webcam overlay preview
  • Webcam background removal, blur, and green-screen keying after recording
  • Your choice of system audio, microphone, or both
  • Keystroke and scroll telemetry recorded into a sidecar for downstream tools
  • Synthetic cursor capture for sharper, retina-friendly cursor rendering
  • Local recording pipeline designed for repeatable developer demos

Great technical videos need more than capture quality. They need context, pacing, and enough control to guide attention without rebuilding the whole session in a traditional video editor.

Edit and polish

A timeline built around how developer content actually works.

The timeline editor gives you multi-track control over screen, webcam, and audio alongside the IDE context captured during the session. Trim, rearrange, and refine without jumping between separate tools or losing the connection to what happened in the original recording.

  • Multi-track timeline with independent screen, webcam, and audio layers
  • Trim, split, and rearrange clips directly on the timeline
  • IDE context visible alongside video so edits stay grounded
  • Preview changes in real time before exporting

Smart Zoom

Zooms that follow the work, placed for you.

Smart Zoom reads the activity captured during the session, cursor movement, clicks, IDE selections, and Chrome browser telemetry, to decide where to zoom, how far to push in, and how to frame the shot. Suggested zooms land on the timeline as editable segments, so you keep full control while skipping the manual keyframing.

  • Auto-places and frames zooms from what actually happened in the session, not manual keyframing
  • Weighs cursor, click, IDE, and browser-extension activity to choose the focus region and scale
  • Stabilized camera with a dead-zone so the move stays calm instead of chasing every pointer sample
  • Code-aware framing nudges toward the leading edge so selected lines stay readable
  • Suggested zooms drop onto the timeline as editable segments you can retime, reframe, or remove

Shorts and social export

Turn a walkthrough into a vertical launch clip without rebuilding the edit.

Fraime.it includes a Shorts template for the common short-form workflow: switch the project to a 9:16 canvas, set a 1080 x 1920 MP4 export, tighten the background framing, style subtitles, add an opening hook, and place the webcam where it works for vertical video.

  • One-click Shorts template for a 9:16 canvas and 1080 x 1920 MP4 export
  • Aspect presets for source, 16:9, Shorts 9:16, 4:3, 1:1, and custom sizes
  • Vertical subtitle styling and an opening hook title card to frame the clip
  • Webcam PiP layout tuned for short-form demos without manual canvas setup
  • Export presets for 1080 x 1920 and 720 x 1280 vertical video
  • Use the same timeline edits for a full walkthrough or a launch-ready short

Webcam keying

Clean up the camera track after the recording is already done.

Webcam polish is part of the timeline, not a separate capture step. Use person segmentation for fast background removal, blur the room behind you, or switch to green-screen keying with color sampling and matte controls when you want more control over the result.

  • Remove the webcam background with person segmentation for quick cleanup
  • Blur the webcam background when you want a softer recording-room look
  • Switch to green-screen keying when you have a physical chroma backdrop
  • Pick or auto-detect the key color directly from the preview
  • Tune strength, tolerance, edge softness, and spill reduction in the inspector
  • Preview the matte live and render it through the same export compositor

Polish

3D punch, annotations, subtitles, overlays, text replacements, music, and a keyboard HUD, all in one timeline.

Technical recordings are easier to follow when emphasis is built in from the start. Fraime.it layers in the presentation touches (3D punch moves, text callouts, subtitles, image and SVG overlays, post-hoc text replacements, background music, and an on-screen keyboard HUD) without sending you off to a separate motion-graphics tool.

3D punch camera moves

  • Tilt the screen recording in 3D to make key moments feel more dynamic
  • Choose from punch presets built for quick emphasis without manual keyframing
  • Tune intensity, perspective, and timing directly in the timeline inspector
  • Preview and export through the same Metal compositing path as the rest of the video

Annotations and animations

  • Callouts and highlights that draw attention to the important moments
  • Animations that make technical explanations easier to follow
  • On-device subtitle transcription with editable timing and style presets
  • Webcam and audio as part of the story, not separate afterthoughts

Image and SVG overlays

  • Drop in PNG, JPEG, and SVG files as overlays directly on the timeline
  • Dedicated overlays lane keeps logos, badges, and callouts organized
  • SVGs render crisp at any zoom thanks to a dedicated rasterization step
  • Reposition, resize, and time overlays alongside the underlying screen track

Text replacements

  • Mask hard-coded strings like emails, usernames, account IDs, or URLs after the fact
  • OCR-anchored tracking so the replacement follows the text as the view scrolls or repositions
  • Style the replacement to blend in with the surrounding UI
  • Apply per-clip without having to re-record the demo with different fixtures

Keyboard overlay HUD

  • Screen Studio-style HUD that surfaces recent keystrokes during playback
  • Filter to shortcuts only, or show every key as it is pressed
  • Position, scale, opacity, and dwell time all configurable in the inspector
  • Rendered into the final export through the same path used in preview

Background music catalog

  • Built-in catalog spanning Lo-Fi, R&B, Hip-Hop, Electro, and Rock
  • Multiple licensed tracks per style so you can match the energy of the demo
  • Per-project volume control mixed against the captured audio
  • Ships with the app, with no extra subscription or asset hunting required

Context

Editor and browser context built into the recording.

Fraime.it pairs with two optional extensions. The editor extension streams context from VS Code-family IDEs, and the Chrome extension streams privacy-aware browser interaction telemetry, both into the local macOS app. Instead of treating the session as a flat video, Fraime.it preserves structured metadata that later edits build on, so framing, Smart Zoom, timing, and AI suggestions stay grounded in what actually happened.

IDE bridge

  • Streams editor name, file path, language, cursor position, visible range, and function context
  • Keeps document contents and selected text out of the bridge payload
  • Connects the timeline to what the developer was doing, not just what moved on screen

Chrome browser extension

  • Manifest V3 Chrome extension that streams privacy-aware interaction telemetry to the local app
  • Captures clicks, focus, input, selection, route changes, scroll stops, modals, and page-ready events
  • Sends structured metadata with per-event privacy flags, never full page contents
  • Connects over a local bridge on 127.0.0.1 and shows connected status in the recording window

Session metadata

  • Better timing for edits and transitions
  • Smarter zoom, 3D punch, and framing suggestions
  • Timeline markers tied to what actually happened in the session

Privacy and redaction

Ship the demo without leaking the API key.

Fraime.it ships with a redaction pipeline built specifically for developer recordings. An on-device OCR analyzer continuously scans the screen track for credentials and sensitive strings, while a manual Draw Rect tool lets you mark anything else and have it tracked across the clip, even as it scrolls. Choose blur or pixelate, see the result live in the preview, and trust that the mask is baked into the exported file rather than overlaid in playback.

  • On-device OCR continuously scans the recording for API keys, tokens, and other credentials
  • Manual “Draw Rect” tool lets you select any sensitive region in the preview and have it tracked across the clip
  • Detections are anchored to the underlying text, so masks follow the content as it scrolls or moves
  • Choose blur or pixelate, tune the bleed/padding, and review every detection before exporting
  • Redactions render live in the preview so you see exactly what the export will look like
  • Masks are baked into the exported video, so nothing sensitive ships in the rendered file

Smart AI edits

Let AI agents help turn the raw capture into the finished story.

Fraime.it can expose a project to local AI agents through a structured MCP bridge. Agents can inspect the timeline, create a safe working copy, add titles and callouts, update subtitles or overlays, and preview an edit plan before it changes the project.

The result is a shorter path from rough capture to something ready for docs, launches, tutorials, or internal walkthroughs, while the app stays in control of the source project and export.

Safe .agent working copies keep the original recording separate from agent-made edits.
Edit plans can add or update annotations, subtitles, overlays, clips, timing, and animation settings.
Local-only app control keeps project targeting, undo, save, and export in Fraime.it.
