Glisio is the one to look at if your videos go to more than one place. It records your display, webcam, microphone and system audio in a single take, then lets you edit on your Mac with click-based zooms, cursor smoothing, Smart Cut, backgrounds and branding.

Exports come in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1, so one recording can become a tutorial and a vertical clip. AI captions and an AI voiceover are there if you want them, and a screenshot tool called Snap is built in.
