-
Record
Record your screen with your camera in a bubble you can move, or just your camera. Switch between them mid-take. Option-Command-R starts and stops.
-
Clean Up
One click cuts the pauses and the ums and uhs. Real words stay. Every cut can be undone.
-
Export
Export for YouTube at your recording's size, with a matching caption file. Make vertical Shorts and Reels, a GIF or a thumbnail.
Clean Up in one click.
Choose what to fix, then press Clean Up. SaneVideo finds the quiet stretches and the filler words and cuts them from the timeline.
- Remove silences, and set how quiet counts as silent
- Remove "um", "uh" and stutters
- Make captions while it works
- Even out your voice and soften the jump at each cut
Shorts from the same take.
Pick TikTok, Instagram Reels or YouTube Shorts and press Analyze. SaneVideo finds the best moments in your video and exports them as vertical 9:16 clips.
Captions you can fix
Captions are made on your Mac by a speech model that hears the ums Apple's built-in engine skips. Fix any line before you export. Your YouTube export comes with a matching .srt file.
Framing and looks
Crop and zoom, blur or replace the background behind you, and add color effects. Trim and split clips on the timeline; Command-B splits at the playhead.
Your videos stay on your Mac.
Recording, Clean Up, captions and export all run on your Mac. Nothing is uploaded.
