Once you're done setting up on the Pre-recording Screen, clicking the red Record button will immediately begin your recording session.

Clicking the Record button immediately starts the recording session

Recording Controls

While you're recording, a small, moveable control panel with timer will appear on screen:

  • Pause  – Temporarily stop recording without ending the session. Perfect if you need a quick break or want to skip over something.
  • Stop  – Ends the recording and automatically opens the CANVID Editor so you can start editing right away.
  • Abort – Cancels the session and deletes the current recording. Use this if you want to completely start over.

You can move the recording control panel to avoid distractions during recording

Smart Mouse Tracking with Automatic Zooms

CANVID automatically tracks your mouse movements and clicks while you record. These interactions guide the app’s built-in smart zoom system.

  • Your cursor movements and clicks determine where zoom-ins or pans happen.
  • These automatic zooms help keep your viewers focused on what matters.
  • After recording, you can edit, move, resize, or remove any zooms in the CANVID Editor.

After You Stop Recording

When you’re done and hit Stop, CANVID instantly launches the Editor.
