Recordly

Recordly is an open-source screen recorder that adds auto-zoom, smooth cursor animations and more to your videos.

Recordly includes a full cursor animation/rendering pipeline, native macOS and Windows screen recording system, zoom animations faithful to Screen Studio, cursor loops, audio tracks, and more major features.

Recordly lets you record your screen and automatically transform it into a polished video. It handles the heavy lifting of zooming into important actions and smoothing out jittery cursor movement so your demos look professional by default.
