Auto Zoom finds two moments in a made-up task board recording, then a title goes on and it plays back.

How it works

Record once, then polish it.

  1. 01

    Record your walkthrough.Press the record button on a video track and choose Screen or Screen + Webcam. Or drop in a recording you already have.

  2. 02

    Select the recording and open Tools › Video › Auto Zoom.Press Find Activity, then Add Zooms. Each zoom is a set of ordinary keyframes you can still move.

  3. 03

    Add a title.Pick the Text tool, click the picture where the words go and type. The Graphics tab has ready-made name tags and lower thirds.

  4. 04

    Add captions or a voice if you want them.Record your voice over the playing timeline, or write captions from what you said.

  5. 05

    Export.File › Export Video, as MP4, MOV or WebM, at up to 8K, with no watermark.

The Auto Zoom window in the VidTL editor, over a screen recording. It shows Zoom amount at 1.5, Sensitivity at 5, a green box reading Zoom moments found: 2, and the buttons Cancel, Find Activity and Add Zooms.

What goes into a demo

Everything a walkthrough needs, in one editor.

  • Record the walkthrough

    Screen, Screen + Webcam or webcam only, from the record button on a track. Your voice is recorded with the webcam. The screen recorder has the details.

  • Zoom in where it matters

    Auto Zoom reacts to what changes on screen: typing, a menu opening, a card moving. It never zooms more than about once every eight seconds, so the result stays calm.

  • Titles and name tags

    Type a title straight onto the picture, restyle it in the Properties panel, or take a name tag from the Graphics gallery. Add text to video shows both.

  • Your own voice, or a typed one

    Record yourself over the playing timeline for free, on an audio track you can trim and move. On Pro, AI voice over turns a script into a voice.

  • Captions from what you say

    The editor writes captions timed to your words and you fix any word by typing. Auto captions are free with a free account.

  • Cut the fumbles

    Trim the false start, split out the pause, or run Remove Silence to close the gaps while you were thinking. Everything stays on one timeline.

Free, with a Pro option

Recording, Auto Zoom, titles, trimming and export are free. Pro adds the voice from a script and an AI assistant.

You do not need an account to record, zoom, add titles or export. Captions need a free account with a confirmed email. On Pro you can type a script and get a voiceover, or ask the AI assistant to add titles and captions for you. Every plan exports without a watermark, at any length.

Questions

Before you record a demo.

Is the product demo video maker free?

Yes. You can record your screen, zoom, add titles, cut and export without an account, and nothing you export has a watermark. Captions are free with a free account. Pro adds voiceovers from text and the AI assistant.

What do I need to record my screen?

A desktop or laptop computer and a browser: Chrome, Edge, Brave, Arc or Firefox. The editor does not run on phones. Your browser asks which screen, window or tab to share, and for your camera and microphone the first time.

Can I use a recording from another app?

Yes. Drop any screen recording into the editor and run Auto Zoom on it. It works best on apps and web pages, where most of the screen sits still and one spot changes at a time. Footage where the whole picture keeps moving gives it little to hold on to.

Will Auto Zoom follow my mouse?

No. It watches the screen, not the pointer. A click gets a zoom when it makes something happen, like a menu opening or a card moving. A pointer drifting around, scrolling, or a change that fills the whole screen gets none.

Can I change the zooms afterwards?

Yes. They are ordinary keyframes on the clip, so you can move or delete them, and Zoom amount and Sensitivity can be changed before you press Add Zooms. Running Auto Zoom again replaces them, and one undo brings the old ones back.

How do I add a voiceover to my demo?

Record your own: press record on an audio track and talk while the timeline plays, free. On Pro you can instead type a script and pick a voice. Either way the voice is an ordinary clip you can trim and move.

Does my recording leave my computer?

Not for recording, zooming, titles or export: that all happens on your computer. Footage leaves it only if you save to cloud storage or use a tool that runs on VidTL’s servers, like Pro’s faster captions.

What can I export?

MP4, MOV, WebM or GIF, at up to 8K. Use the resolution list in the export window to pick a size, for example 1080p for a website or 4K for a launch page. A short GIF is handy for docs and release notes.

Next, in the same editor

Record it once, polish it right here.

Free in your browser, with nothing to install and no watermark on your export.
