Draw the region
- Select area mode in preparation. Drag on the desktop to create a region.
- Move the selection or adjust its eight handles. You can choose an aspect ratio or source-pixel dimensions.
- Confirm with Return. Escape returns to preparation without starting a recording.
Choose capture framing
Leave room for menus, panels or movements you need to show. A fixed area includes only what stays within that region. Use window mode to follow a moving window.
Capture area and editor crop
The region determines which pixels are recorded. Canvas cropping is applied later, non-destructively, to the saved original. The editor cannot recover content outside the capture region.
