  • Capture video: Record using your webcam or another camera, import PowerPoint slides and record your screen 
  • Create slides and overlays: Create graphic slides and overlays such as lower thirds, intro cards and credits 
  • Edit audio: Edit and equalise audio from video or straight audio for podcasts 
  • Import/Export Media: Import any video clip you have from your computer and export your new video ready for upload to your media repository 
  • Highlight your cursor within screen capture: When you are recording your screen, you can highlight your cursor so the recording shows where and when you click on the page.
