ScreenSolo gives you a few ways to get a recording out of the app — every one of them saves a file to your device.
1. Export the full video
File → Export → Full video (or ⌘⇧E). The session's MP4 is copied to wherever you choose — the file is already H.264 / AAC so it'll open in any video player without re-encoding.
2. Export a clip (in / out points)
- In the timeline, drag the In marker to where you want the clip to start.
- Drag the Out marker to where you want it to end.
- File → Export → Selection (or ⌘E).
- Pick MP4 or animated GIF.
ScreenSolo trims using ffmpeg -c copy where possible (no re-encode) so the export is fast and lossless.
3. Export keyframes as a PDF sheet
Sometimes you want stills, not video. File → Export → Keyframe sheet produces a single PDF with all the keyframes laid out as a contact sheet. Useful for bug reports, design reviews, and tutorial outlines.
4. Export a slide deck (PowerPoint / Keynote)
File → Export → PowerPoint (or Keynote) builds a 16:9 deck — a title slide, then one slide per keyframe with its image and caption, and any AI write-ups you've drafted as speaker notes. Handy for turning a walkthrough straight into a presentation.
Everything exports locally
There's no "publish to a platform" step — ScreenSolo writes the file to your device and stops there. To get a recording into Slack, Notion, a blog, or anywhere else, export the file you want and upload it there yourself. Exporting to a file is a Pro feature; see Free vs Pro.
