Getting started

Director records your screen, your camera and your voice, writes down what you said, and lets you cut the video by editing that text. Delete a sentence, and the video skips it.

Your first video

1. Choose File ▸ New… and give the project a name and a place.

2. Click Record. The first time, Director asks for Screen Recording and the Microphone; the Camera is optional.

3. Say what you came to say, then stop. Director transcribes the take on your Mac, and nothing leaves it.

4. Select the words you don’t want and press Delete. The picture follows the text.

5. Click Export.

The command palette

Every command is one search away: press ⌘ K and type what you want to do.

Where it goes

Landscape

The recording as you made it, 16:9, for a page or a player.

Short

From the terminal

Agents drive the running app with the director command, one change at a time, each one an undo step in the open window:
