PROJECT OVERVIEW Show the work.
Screen Camera
Interactive illustration · a layout change starts at the playhead and runs to the next boundary.
A directed demo
Change the frame at the moment it helps.
Open on your face, drop to full screen for the walkthrough, then go side by side to talk through the result. Every change is a decision you place on the timeline yourself.
Changes on the timeline
Layouts have their own lane. A change is added at the playhead and runs to the next boundary, so your cuts stay where you put them.
Transitions you choose
Cut for a hard change, Fade for a soft one, Morph to glide between arrangements. Morph is the default for new changes.
Built for the editor
Controls that stay where you can reach them.
Layouts live in their own inspector tab next to the rest of your editing controls, and in a lane under the video on the timeline.
Fit or Fill
Framing decides whether the source fits inside its pane or fills it.
Your split, your side
Choose the camera side and drag the seam anywhere from 10 to 90 percent.
Zoom still works
Push in on a detail while a split layout is on screen.
Splits fit the format
A split opens side by side in a landscape format and stacked in a portrait one, so a vertical version starts from an arrangement that fits.
Camera layouts need a separate camera recording made with CursorClip.
Smart Camera
The bubble gets out of the way.
Point at something and the camera bubble can step back instead of covering it. Smart Camera resizes or hides the bubble in place. It never moves around the frame, so your viewer always knows where to look.
Find it under Layouts, More, Camera behavior. It applies in Screen with camera mode.
Keep cursor clear
The bubble makes room when your cursor comes near it. This one needs cursor data in the recording. Off by default.
Shrink during zoom
The bubble gets smaller while a zoom holds on the detail you are explaining. Off by default.
One recording, more formats
Linked output formats let one recording carry landscape, portrait and square versions. Timing is shared and framing belongs to the format you are editing. See the 2.0.0 changelog.
Layouts, clarified
Are layouts available now?
Yes. Layouts are available in CursorClip 2.0.0 and later. Open your recording in the editor and use the Layouts inspector tab or the Layouts lane on the timeline.
Which layout modes can I use?
Screen, Camera, Screen with camera, Side by side, and Stacked. A split of screen and camera opens side by side in a landscape format and stacked in a portrait one. Framing offers Fit and Fill, you can choose which side the camera sits on, and you can drag the split seam between 10 and 90 percent.
Do I need a camera recording?
Yes, for anything other than Screen. Camera layouts need a separate camera recording made with CursorClip.
How does a layout change work on the timeline?
A layout change is added at the playhead and runs to the next boundary. Choose Cut, Fade, or Morph for the change. Morph is the default for new changes.
What does Smart Camera do?
Smart Camera lives under Layouts, More, Camera behavior and has two toggles: Keep cursor clear and Shrink during zoom. Both are off by default and apply in Screen with camera mode. The bubble is resized or hidden in place, it does not move around the frame. Keep cursor clear needs cursor data in the recording.
Can I still zoom inside a split layout?
Yes. Zoom keeps working inside a split layout, so you can hold a side by side arrangement and still push in on the detail you are explaining.
Where should I start?
Open a recording in the editor and go to the Layouts tab in the inspector. Pick a default layout, then move the playhead to where the frame should change and click Add a layout change at the playhead. Every layout except Screen needs a camera recording, so turn your camera on when you record.
Record once. Decide the frame after.
