Capsule’s Screen Recorder lets you record your screen directly within Capsule and instantly use it in the editor — no exporting, no re-uploading, and no switching between tools.
Because recordings live inside Capsule, you can immediately edit, caption, polish, and share — keeping your entire video workflow in one place.
Availability: Screen Recorder is currently available on Mac only.

How to Download Screen Recorder
In Capsule, click the + button to add media
Select Screen
Follow the prompt to download and install the Capsule Screen Recorder app
Once installed, you’re ready to record
Start a Recording
When launching the recorder, you can choose what to capture:
Capture Type
Display – Record your entire screen
Window – Record a specific application window
Area – Record a custom-selected portion of your screen
If recording a Window or Area, you can resize the capture region and lock it to a specific aspect ratio. Easily switch between horizontal, square, or vertical formats to ensure consistent sizing across recordings.
Audio Options
Microphone – Record your voice while narrating
System Audio – Capture audio playing from your computer (music, videos, other apps)
Choose the audio source that fits your use case. For example:
Use Microphone for walkthroughs and tutorials
Use System Audio for products involving sounds or media playback
Note: You can select one audio source per recording.
What Happens When You Record
Select your capture type
Choose your audio setting
Click Record
A short countdown begins
Click Stop when finished
The recorder interface is automatically excluded from your capture, so you’ll always get a clean recording — even when capturing your full display.
How to add a screen recording to a project:
Screen recordings behave like any other asset and can be added anywhere media is supported in Capsule. This means base footage in a new project, overlayed on top of an existing video or audio file, or added in with other clips in the timeline.
