Comparison notes & sources
Selected desktop/web recording workflows, including Zoom Clips and CapCut’s web recorder. Features vary by platform and plan. Checked September 2026.
⚠️ means limited support or a manual alternative. Advanced editing means a general-purpose timeline editor; Loom and Kriya offer focused editing tools. Auto zoom means zooming to recorded clicks, not meeting-camera framing. Dead-time removal includes silence or speech cleanup; Kriya suggests cuts for review.
Playback speed is not the same as exporting a faster video. Share-page branding is not a movable logo in the exported video. Kriya’s guides use your chapters and scenes, not an automatically written SOP. Its founder-pitch workflow needs AI configuration; 4K describes output resolution, not recovered image detail. Offline editing means core desktop edits, not cloud AI or publishing. YouTube refers to in-app publishing, not downloading a file to upload manually.

Your videos are files.
Not our inventory.
Choose a folder on your Mac. Kriya reads from it and writes back to it. The hosted app has no shared video disk and cannot browse your library.
Change it any time from the Mac app or browser workspace.
The desktop app runs its local server and FFmpeg against that folder.
Only a processing action you start may send a working copy to isolated compute.
Let the demo
direct itself.
Screen, camera, microphone, interaction-aware zooms, and final MP4 export—in one focused desktop app.
