3 Best Video Editing & Recording Software & Tools 2025

Screen studio is the best screen recording tool for quick and elevated videos. You don't have to have any experience with professional screen recording when using Screen Studio. It gives your screen video a professional look by default with features like automatic zoom, smooth cursor movement, auto-hiding your static cursor and super easy editing (if even required). We are huge fans.

Who is Screen Studio For?

Screen studio is for you if you are creating promotional videos, tutorials, product updates, demos, or social media stories. I'm sure you've seen screen recordings that were recorded and edited via Screen Studio—more and more software companies have been using them for new feature launches, and product videos.

We've tried a myriad of tools in this category (e.g. Loom and CleanShot X), and while they both work well for capturing the screen recording, Screen Studio is a far superior. When recording software videos for our social media channels, we were previously recording with CleanShot X and the videos felt quite dull and boring. There was no auto-zoom or a way to really engage the viewer.

Then we saw someone else's demo video on Twitter and were blown away with how sleek it looked. Our first impression was "Wow, how did they film and edit that? That's so cool!". When finding out that Screen Studio was actually a software that actually automatically edits the screen recording by following your cursor, and zooming in on the screen when you click, we knew it had to be a part of our arsenal. We also wanted our videos to have that elevated look 👀

You can even edit your videos easily after the recording for vertical video platforms like YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram, and Twitter.

We'd go as far as saying this is the best tool on the market for professional screen recording.

It is currently only available on macOS.

Who Shouldn't Use Screen Studio

Loom is still the most convenient screen video recorder for quickly recording and sending over a tutorial or training video to your team or customers. If you are filming one-off videos (e.g. because you're doing asynchronous work or for a video for your customers), there is no point of elevating these types of videos with Screen Studio and you'll work much faster with Loom.

We're actually paid users of Loom and CleanShotX (that we use for screen capture screenshots) and Screen Studio for our more professional videos.

That said, if you also want to have some elevated screen recording videos (without needing an entire production studio 😅), definitely sign up for Screen Studio.

Tella is an awesome tool to use if you are wanting to create courses or film beautiful videos that require screen sharing. It easily allows you to film a series a clips to create your video, and also allows you to edit your videos right within the web browser.

We used Tella to create our Motion App Course and it saved us tons of time and not to mention we didn't have to hire a video editor to get a beautiful end result.

While some editing features can be improved (you can read about in our full Tella Review), overall we'd recommend it and found that it came in very handy.

Loom is just the accepted standard for recording asynchronous communication at companies.

People love receiving a Loom (over getting a meeting request), and even support teams love receiving a Loom when you're asking for help.

Loom has replaced internal and external video calls by as much as 95% in our business. You can also use it to record internal processes to use for team and customer onboarding. We use it for everything.

It's also free for recordings shorter than 5 minutes, so just go and sign up already 😉

If you're looking for more of an impressive screen recording and video editor for things like product feature launch GIFs and videos, look no further than our friends over at Screen Studio.
