OBS records faithfully but that's the problem — it records everything flat, no emphasis. Loom is capped at 5 minutes on free now. Manually adding zooms in an editor works but it doubles the time per video.</p> <p>For devs who record tutorials: what's your setup? Do you bump the font size and record at 1080p, add zooms in post, or use a recorder that zooms automatically while you record?</p> <p>Disclosure: I build one of those — AutoZoom, which auto-zooms into clicks and typing as you record. If any tutorial-maker here wants to test it, Pro is free for you: <a href="https://az.happybap.abrdns.com/az/" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://az.happybap.abrdns.com/az/</a></p> discuss
