Everything Lumae does.

Lumae is a free native macOS app for recording software demos and annotating screenshots. Each page below covers one part of it: what it does, how it decides, and the numbers behind it.

Camera and motion

What the virtual camera does with a flat recording.

Automatic zoom

Clicks become camera moves, with the timing worked out for you.

Smooth cursor

The pointer, redrawn: smoothed, tilted, and pressed on every click.

Motion blur

Camera moves sampled across a shutter, the way a lens does it.

Look and sound

The frame around the picture, and everything you hear.

Backgrounds and framing

Backdrops, padding, and corners measured from the window itself.

Captions

Transcribed on your Mac, broken into lines a person can read.

Voiceover and music

Narrate over the finished cut. The mix gets out of the way.

Capture and output

Getting the picture in, and getting the file out.

Screen recording

Display, window or area, with the metadata the editor needs.

Screenshots

Capture and annotate, with every mark still editable later.

Export

MP4, MOV, ProRes and GIF, from the renderer the preview uses.
