Video Editor
Trim recordings, add zoom effects, set backgrounds, and export in custom dimensions without leaving Snapzy.
Trim & Timeline
The video editor shows a visual timeline with a frame strip so you can scrub to the exact moment you want to cut.
- Drag the start and end handles to set the clip range.
- Scrub through the frame strip for precise edits.
- Undo and redo any trim change.
Follow Mouse / Smart Camera
If the recording was made with Smart Camera metadata enabled, the editor can build a Follow Mouse path automatically.
- Auto-focus — zoom segments follow the cursor path without manual keyframes.
- Manual zoom — add custom zoom segments when no Smart Camera metadata is available.
- Smooth transitions — zoom in and out with interpolated motion.
Note — Smart Camera metadata is collected during recording. Enable it in Preferences → Recording for best results.
Wallpaper Backgrounds & Padding
Change the background behind your recording to create polished exports for social media or documentation.
- Choose a solid color or wallpaper image.
- Add padding around the recording for a framed look.
- Backgrounds apply to the final export, not the source recording.
Export Settings
Export your edited video or GIF with full control over dimensions and format.
- Custom dimensions — set width and height independently of the source resolution.
- GIF export — convert a segment to an animated GIF with adjustable size.
- Video export — output as MP4 with the original or custom resolution.
Animated GIF Viewer
Preview animated GIFs directly inside the video editor before exporting. The viewer shows frame timing and loops so you can verify the result.
Undo & Redo
Every edit in the video editor is reversible. Use ⌘Z to undo and ⌘⇧Z to redo. The history persists for the current editing session.
