   Red hatched blocks are cuts; blue "2×" blocks are sped-up parts. Click a cut to bring it back, or a speed block to change its speed.

How it decides what to cut

Smart Edit looks at what happened while you recorded:

• No mouse movement, clicks or typing for a while → cut (long gaps) or sped up (shorter ones).
• Long bursts of typing → sped up.
• You talking (on your microphone track) → never cut, never sped up.

It also adds zooms around clicks and typing. Free: 3 zooms per video; Pro: unlimited.
