Automatic zoom
Zoom follows your clicks with spring easing. Adjust it or override it by hand.
Open-source screen recorder & editor
Record once. Edit everything after.
Ash Studio saves your screen, webcam, microphone and cursor events as raw data. Zoom, cursor, backgrounds and face cam stay editable forever, and export renders exactly what you preview.
Detecting your system…
The app
Built like a real editor, not a filter.
Everything you see below is the app itself, running on a sample recording.
Editor
Preview, timeline and speed in one window.
Trim, split and delete clips on the timeline, add speed ramps to a selected range, and undo or redo any change. Edits save automatically.
- Live preview that matches the export
- Undo and redo for every edit
- Automatic saving to your project folder
Style
Backgrounds, padding and frames.
Pick a gradient, a solid colour or your own image behind the recording. Set the padding, corner radius and aspect ratio, all without touching the original footage.
- Gradient, colour and image backgrounds
- Face cam layouts and shapes
- Changes never require re-recording
Library
Every recording is a folder you own.
Projects are plain files on your disk. Open, rename, duplicate, export or reveal them in Finder or Explorer whenever you like.
- Thumbnails and durations at a glance
- Export a project folder to share or back up
- Nothing is uploaded anywhere
Features
Polish without re-recording.
Cursor & clicks
Input events are saved, so the cursor and click ripples can be restyled after recording.
Backgrounds
Padding, rounded corners, shadows and aspect-ratio presets for every platform.
Face cam
Separate webcam track with layouts, shapes and auto-hide while zooming.
Timeline editing
Trim, split, delete and add speed ramps, with full undo and redo.
Export anywhere
MP4 with hardware encoding, WebM or GIF. Your files never leave your computer.
How it works
Record. Edit. Export.
Effects are saved as settings, not baked into the video, so you can change them any time.
01
Record
Displays and windows, with separate camera, microphone and system audio tracks. Input events are saved with the video.
02
Edit
Automatic zoom from clicks, backgrounds, face cam, keystrokes, speed ramps, trim and cuts, all live in the preview.
03
Export
The same frames you previewed are rendered to MP4, WebM or GIF. Everything stays on your computer.
