Screen Recorder with Auto Zoom
Most screen recorders leave zoom timing to manual editing. Screenix records your clicks, generates a smooth zoom timeline when recording stops, and lets you refine or remove every zoom before export.
See how automatic zooms and smooth cursor motion guide attention in a Screenix recording. You can adjust the generated zooms in the editor before exporting.
