Cursor Metadata

During recording, cursor position and click data is captured at 120 Hz (8 ms sampling interval) independently from the video frame rate. Each sample stores the normalized cursor position (0.0–1.0 relative to the capture area) and the mouse button state. Click events and keystrokes are recorded separately with precise timestamps. All metadata is saved as cursor-metadata.json inside the .frm project bundle and can be used in the editor for cursor overlay rendering and zoom automation.

Zoom & Pan

• Manual keyframes — add zoom keyframes on the timeline with configurable zoom level and center point; interpolation uses smooth Hermite easing for natural transitions
• Auto-detection — automatically generates zoom keyframes from cursor click clusters; clicks within a configurable dwell threshold are grouped into regions, and zoom-in/zoom-out transitions are created around each cluster
• Cursor-follow mode — when enabled, the zoom viewport tracks the cursor position in real time so the area of interest stays centered
• Configurable parameters — zoom level (multiplier), transition duration, dwell threshold, and hold duration
• Full export integration — zoom is rendered at export time; both cursor overlay and click highlights are correctly scaled within zoomed regions

Export

• Export to MP4, MOV, or GIF format
• H.264, H.265 (HEVC), ProRes 422, and ProRes 4444 codec options
