Standard macOS screen recording captures your screen but treats the cursor as an afterthought. The result is jerky mouse movements, invisible clicks, and viewers struggling to follow along. For tutorials, product demos, and training videos, this makes the difference between content that engages and content that confuses.
Smooth Capture treats cursor and click recording as a first-class feature. Every mouse movement is smoothed with interpolation, every click generates a visual ripple, and the cursor automatically hides when idle. The result is screen recordings where viewers always know exactly where to look and what just happened.
This is especially useful for macOS users creating software tutorials, onboarding videos, bug reports, or any screen recording where the cursor tells the story.
Choose from multiple cursor effects to make every mouse movement and click visually engaging. Click ripples, magnifying orb, and lens effects turn ordinary screen recordings into professional content.
Every mouse click generates an animated ripple that expands outward from the cursor. Viewers instantly see where and when you clicked, making your tutorials easy to follow without verbal explanation.
A magnifying orb surrounds your cursor and enlarges the area around it on click. This is especially useful for screen recordings where you need to highlight small UI elements, menu items, or form fields.
The lens orb creates a cinematic glass-like magnification around your cursor. It follows your mouse movements smoothly and provides a professional look that stands out from standard screen captures.
When your cursor stops moving, Smooth Capture automatically fades it away. This removes visual clutter when you are speaking or when the focus should be on on-screen content rather than the mouse pointer.
Set the cursor size and movement speed before recording. Smooth Capture applies cinematic smoothing to all mouse movements so your cursor glides across the screen instead of jumping between positions. The result is screen recordings that feel deliberate and professional.
Smooth Capture detects your mouse clicks and automatically zooms into the area of interaction. This means viewers see exactly what you clicked without you having to manually add zoom keyframes in post-production. The zoom is smooth, timed to your click, and zooms back out naturally.
A static cursor sitting in the middle of your screen recording is distracting. Smooth Capture detects when your cursor stops moving and smoothly fades it away. When you start moving the mouse again, the cursor reappears naturally. No editing needed.
