Record a workflow. Get a narrated lecture.

Cutaway records what you do and explains it. Click through any website or app and every click becomes a numbered step with the exact element highlighted; record your screen and AI splits the take into scenes and narrates each one, synced to what is happening. Polish the guide step by step and export it as a PDF — or cut away from the recording to a diagram, an animated-math explainer or bespoke motion graphics, and cut back.

What it does

The detail that makes it work.

Element-aware click capture

A Chrome extension follows you through any site. One step per click, the clicked element highlighted precisely, and the steps stitched into your lecture as narrated scenes.

A guide editor for every step

Add a highlight to any screenshot — ring, box, spotlight or arrow, in the colour you pick — and it snaps to the element under it. A highlight you place shows in the video exactly where you put it.

Check the guide, then export a PDF

Check guide lists what needs attention — a step with no narration, a highlight off the element, two identical steps. Export a PDF guide with a cover, a contents list and every step with its highlight.

Studio recording, split for you

Record one continuous take of your screen. AI cuts it into scenes at each screen change and narrates every one — your voice becomes the script, not one long unstructured blob.

Bring a recording you already have

Import an existing screen recording (up to thirty minutes on Pro and above) and it runs the same pipeline — analyzed, split, and explained scene by scene.

Reorder and rewrite before export

Every captured step lands in the storyboard as a normal scene, so you can rewrite its narration, reorder it, or delete it before rendering. The AI draft sits beside a transcript of what you actually said.

Cut away to anything

Mid-walkthrough, drop in a diagram, a MathMotion animation, or a cinematic clip to explain the why behind a click — then return to the capture. That is the cutaway.

Playwright tests become guides or videos (Pro and Studio)

Import a Playwright trace from your end-to-end tests. Pick the user-guide style — one annotated screenshot per step, ready for a PDF — or the walkthrough-video style, paced for a viewer with a chapter per test step.
