## What it is

Studio is the place in Clacky where you make things. A big Record button starts the screen recorder, and beside it are Screenshot, Scrolling Capture, Edit a Video and Edit a Picture.

Below them, Recent shows your latest recordings and screenshots, with links to All Screenshots and All Recordings. Drop a video or a picture anywhere on Studio to open it in the right editor.

More for recording holds the helpers that go with a take: the Teleprompter, Presenter Mode, Spotlight, GIF Export and Grab Code. Everything you make stays on your Mac.

## Questions

Which macOS do I need?

Clacky runs on macOS 13 or later. The screen recorder and the video editor need macOS 15, and the screenshot studio needs macOS 14.

Can I edit a video I didn’t record with Clacky?

Yes. Edit a Video opens any video file. Zooms on clicks need the pointer track Clacky saves with its own recordings, so those come only with Clacky recordings.

Is anything uploaded?

No. Recordings, screenshots and edits are made and saved on your Mac.
