Record Software Tutorials

Create polished screen recordings that teach viewers how to use software step by step. Tutorials need clear cursor movement, legible UI elements, and narration that stays in sync with on-screen actions.

Step-by-step

  1. 1

    Script your key moments

    Outline the 3-5 core actions you want to demonstrate. Knowing your waypoints keeps the recording focused and reduces edit time.

  2. 2

    Set resolution and frame rate

    Record at 1920×1080 and 30 fps for standard tutorials. If you need to show fine details in a dense UI, bump to 2K so viewers can pause and read.

  3. 3

    Record with mic narration

    Explain each step as you perform it. Screenify captures your mic alongside the screen so audio and visuals stay perfectly aligned.

  4. 4

    Use auto-zoom on clicks

    Enable auto-zoom so the recording punches in every time you click a button or menu item, making small UI targets easy to follow.

  5. 5

    Add captions in post

    Generate AI captions after recording. Captions improve accessibility, boost SEO when embedded on a blog, and help non-native speakers follow along.

Screenify features for this workflow

Auto-Zoom

Tutorials often involve clicking small buttons or navigating dense menus — auto-zoom magnifies these moments so viewers never lose track of the cursor.

Cursor Highlight

A highlighted cursor draws the viewer's eye to exactly where the action is happening, which is critical when walking through multi-step workflows.

AI Captions

Many tutorial viewers watch without sound or speak a different language. Auto-generated captions make your content accessible worldwide.

Silence Detection

Long pauses while you load a page or think about the next step break tutorial flow. Silence detection trims dead air automatically.
