Editing 路 7 sections

A real timeline editor inside the recorder.

Cut what you captured, add the polish, ship the result. Editing is non-destructive: every effect renders at export time from the original stems, so changes are reversible until the moment you hit share.

Cut

Reshape what you captured.

01

Timeline

Multi-track scrubbing, trim, split, mute.

Screen, camera, mic, and system audio each get their own track. Trim regions, split clips, mute or solo individual tracks. Non-destructive: the original stems stay untouched until you export.

02

Audio

Per-track volume, mute and solo, automation keyframes.

Drop volume keyframes on any audio track. Dip the mic during a noisy stretch, mute system audio for one bad notification, fade in. Echo cancellation runs at capture, not in post.

Polish

Add the moves that make it look designed.

03

Zoom-to-click

Auto-generated zoom ranges, edit them like clips.

ShipClip generates zoom ranges from your cursor activity. Each range has its own scale, easing, and duration. Move them on the timeline, resize them, or delete them. No manual keyframing.

04

Annotations

Arrows, rectangles, text, blur regions.

Add an arrow to a button. Box a section of UI. Drop a text label. Blur a password you forgot to hide. All annotations live on the timeline as ranges, baked into the export.

05

Easing curves

Bezier curve editor with 24 presets.

Tune how zoom transitions feel. Editable bezier curves per range, plus 24 presets if you don't want to touch the math. Same easing system applies to camera PiP and volume keyframes.

06

Screen styling

Backgrounds, padding, rounded corners, cursor packs.

Drop a background, pad the screen, round the corners. Pick a cursor pack to swap macOS's default arrow for something more legible. All composited at render time, never burned into the recording.

07

Export & share

MP4 to disk, or a shareable link with analytics.

Export a local MP4 with all effects baked in, or hit Share for a link viewable at shipclip.app with view counts, watch-through, and drop-off. Uploads stream during export, so the link is live ~15 seconds after rendering finishes.

How editing works underneath

  • Non-destructive. Edits never touch the original stems. The export composites everything fresh from your screen, camera, mic, and system audio source files.
  • Multi-track timeline. Screen and camera live on separate video tracks. Mic and system audio live on separate audio tracks. Every track gets its own mute, solo, and volume automation.
  • Metal-rendered preview. Scrubbing the timeline runs through the same Metal compositor that handles the final export. What you see is what ships.
  • Inspector panel. Click any range or annotation on the timeline to edit its properties in the inspector. Same shape across zoom ranges, annotations, easing curves, and volume keyframes.
