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 (⌘⇧E on Mac, Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows). 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 (⌘E on Mac, Ctrl+E on Windows).
- Save — you get an MP4 of just that stretch.
ScreenSolo trims using ffmpeg -c copy where possible (no re-encode) so the export is fast and lossless.
3. Export snapshots as a PDF sheet
Sometimes you want stills, not video. File → Export → Snapshot sheet produces a single PDF with all the snapshots 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, on a Mac) builds a 16:9 deck — a title slide, then one slide per snapshot 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. PowerPoint export works on both Mac and Windows; Keynote export is Mac-only.
5. Export a recap video
The same export menu can also build a recap video — a short cut of the session's key moments, for when nobody will watch the full recording.
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. The 4K / shape presets and the slide-deck guides come with Pro — see Export shapes and quality.
