An app demo video framed in a device with a zoom on the key feature, made in Screenhance Studio

Record, zoom into what matters, and frame it, all in one browser tool.

From Recording to Demo Video in Three Steps

Studio is a screen and webcam recorder and a demo-video editor in one, so you never leave the browser between recording and export.

1. Record your screen (and webcam)

Open Studio in your browser and capture your app in action. Record just the screen, or add your webcam for a face-to-camera walkthrough. No download, and it works on macOS, Windows, and Linux.

2. Zoom, frame, and caption

Click the exact spot that matters and Studio zooms in to guide the viewer's eye. Wrap the recording in a real device or browser frame over a clean background, then add captions, annotations, and stickers.

3. Export for wherever it's going

Pick square, portrait, or landscape, then export MP4, WebM, or GIF. Ship it to the App Store, drop it in a social post, or use it as the hero on your landing page.

Zoom Into the Part That Sells the Feature

The problem with a raw screen recording is that the interesting part is usually small and in the corner. A viewer watching your full window has no idea where to look, and by the time they find the button you clicked, the moment has passed. Most people fix this by narrating over the top, but narration only helps people who have the sound on.

Studio's click-to-place zoom fixes it visually. You click the spot in the recording you want to emphasize, and the frame eases in on it, holds, and eases back out. Drop one on the toggle that changes everything, another on the result that appears, a third on the confirmation. The eye follows the zoom, so a busy app still reads as a clear, deliberate demo, with or without sound.

Because the zoom is placed after you record, you are not fighting the recording as it happens. Capture the flow once at a comfortable pace, then decide where the emphasis goes. That separation is what makes a first-take recording look edited.

Everything a Demo Video Needs, in One Place

Record, guide the eye, frame, caption, and export without stitching together a recorder, a video editor, and a mockup tool.

Click-to-place zoom

The signature move: click the button, chart, or step that matters and the frame pushes in, so the viewer looks exactly where you want. No timeline scrubbing, no keyframes to hand-place.

Real device and window frames

Wrap a mobile recording in a phone frame or a web recording in macOS and browser chrome, set over gradient and preset backgrounds. The same framing that makes your still mockups.

Captions, annotations, and stickers

Add captions in custom fonts, point with annotations, and drop in stickers. Enough to explain a flow without opening a separate video editor.

Square, portrait, and landscape

One canvas, three shapes: square for the feed, portrait for Reels and Shorts, landscape for YouTube or a landing-page hero. Switch aspect ratio without re-recording.

MP4, WebM, and GIF exports

MP4 for the App Store and social, WebM for a lighter web file, and GIF for a looping snippet in a README, changelog, or email. Export the format each destination actually wants.

Ready-made demo templates

Start from a demo-video template for a fast, on-brand result, or build from a blank canvas. Either way you land on framing and backgrounds that already look finished.

One Recording, Every Place a Demo Video Goes

The App Store and Play Store. An app preview video shows a feature in motion where a static screenshot cannot. Record the flow, frame it in the right device, zoom into the moment that matters, and export a landscape or portrait MP4 that fits the store slot.

Social and short-form. Portrait for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts; square for the feed. A framed recording with a click-to-place zoom and a caption reads clearly on mute, which is how most feeds get watched.

Your landing page and README. A landscape MP4 or WebM makes a strong above-the-fold hero, and a lightweight GIF loops a single feature inside a README, changelog, or launch email without asking anyone to press play.

Because Studio is the same tool that makes your App Store screenshots, device mockups, and OG images, the demo video matches the rest of your launch set instead of looking like it came from a different tool.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to make an app demo video?

Record the real app doing the one thing you want to show, then guide the viewer's eye so they do not miss it. Screenhance Studio does both in the browser: you record your screen (and optionally your webcam), then drop a click-to-place zoom on the exact button, chart, or step that matters, so the frame pushes in right when the viewer needs to look there. Wrap the recording in a device or browser frame over a clean background, add a caption or two, and export. No download, no timeline-editor learning curve, and no separate recorder plus editor plus mockup tool.

Do I need to download software to record my app demo?

No. Studio runs at app.screenhance.com/studio and records your screen and webcam directly in the browser, so there is nothing to install and it works on macOS, Windows, and Linux. You open the page, pick what to capture, and record. That also means you can put together a quick demo on a machine that is not yours without asking anyone to install anything.

How does the click-to-place zoom work?

After you record, you click the spot in the recording you want to emphasize and Studio zooms into it, then eases back out. It is the signature feature because a full-screen recording buries the important part in the corner. A zoom on the exact toggle, field, or result guides the viewer's eye there without you having to narrate 'now look at the top right.' You can place a zoom on each key moment, so a two-minute walkthrough still reads clearly at a glance.

Can I add a device or browser frame to the recording?

Yes. Studio wraps your recording in realistic device frames and macOS or browser window chrome, set over gradient or preset backgrounds. A mobile app recording sits inside a phone frame; a web app recording sits inside a browser window. It is the same framing engine behind Screenhance's device mockups, so the demo video matches the still screenshots you use elsewhere.

What aspect ratios and formats can I export?

You can work in square, portrait, or landscape, which covers a social feed, a vertical Reel or Short, and a YouTube video or landing-page hero. Exports come out as MP4, WebM, or GIF: MP4 for the App Store, social, and most players; WebM when you want a smaller web-friendly file; and GIF for a looping snippet in a README, changelog, or email. You start from a ready-made demo-video template if you want an on-brand head start, or build from a blank canvas.

Is Screenhance Studio free?

Yes, it is free to start and free to record and edit. Free exports include a small Screenhance watermark. If you want clean, unwatermarked exports, a $6 Week Pass removes the watermark for a week (handy for a single launch), and Pro is $8 a month for ongoing use. There is no separate charge for the recorder versus the editor versus the framing; it is all one tool.

Can I use the same tool for my App Store screenshots and OG image?

Yes, and that is the point of using Studio. It is the same tool that makes your App Store screenshots, device mockups, and OG images, so every launch visual comes out of one place with a consistent look. Record the demo video here, then reuse the same frames, backgrounds, and captions for the still screenshots and share cards that go with it. It is all part of Launch Kit.
