Quick Start Guide

Get started in 3 simple steps

Learn how to record your screen effortlessly using Screen Script. This quick start guide covers everything you need to begin — recording, editing, and saving your videos in high quality.

Step 1: Creating a Project

To start recording, you first need to create a project.

• Visit the Launcher directly at https://screenscript.app/launcher, or click on “Create Product Demo” from the homepage.
• Once inside the launcher, click “New Project.”

• Give your project a name and click Create.

• To begin recording, click the Record button next to your project.

Step 2: Recording

When you open the recorder, you’ll be prompted to select what to capture. Toggle the switches next to the options you want to enable:

• Record Screen (required)
• Record Camera (optional)
• Record Mic (optional)

Permissions

• If have not already granted permission to access your camera and microphone, you’ll be prompted to grant permission to access your camera and microphone.

• Screen capture permissions must be granted each time you record. During this process, you can select whether to record a tab, window, or your entire screen.

• Once your options are set, click Start Recording. Your recording will begin — switch to your tab/window/screen and present your content.

• When finished, return to the app and click Stop Recording. Your recording will automatically be saved and opened in the Editor.

  Don’t worry if the start or stop part gets recorded — you can trim it out later in the Editor.

Step 3: Editing Your Video

1. Trimming Start and End

This section explains how to trim the start and end of your video. Feel free to skip this section, if you don't want to trim your video.

• On the left panel, select the Project item under Layers, then you will see the Project Settings on the right panel, where you find Start Trim and End Trim.

These values define where your video should start and end.

• Adjust Start Trim to remove unwanted delays at the beginning.
• Adjust End Trim to cut off the ending.

2. Adding a Zoom Effect

This section explains how to add a simple zoom effect to your video. Feel free to skip this section, if you don't want to add a zoom effect.

• In the Layers panel on the left, select Zoom Layer. Now you may notice a Zoom Effect Icon that appeard above the timeline.

• Click on the Zoom icon to add a zoom effect at the current position of the timeline pointer. You can drag and adjust it as needed.

• Once your edits are done, click Export at the top right,this will open video export settings for you.

Step 4: Exporting the Video

This section explains how to export your video. The export window allows you to choose your final video settings.

• Select your desired resolution — you can either choose from presets or enter a custom value based on the aspect ratio set in the Editor.

Advanced Option: Batch Size

• The Batch Size represents a value that is almost synonymous to how many frames are loaded at once:

  • Higher batch size → faster export but uses more memory and CPU.
  • Lower batch size → slower export but lighter on performance.

• Screen Script automatically picks a suitable batch size for your device, but you can manually adjust it if needed.

• Once ready, click Export to begin rendering your video.

Rendering is a resource-intensive process. If you switch tabs during export, your browser may throttle performance or pause rendering,which can result in errors or corrupted videos. Keep the tab open until export is complete.
