Instage Studio
Cinematic screen recordings for Mac, in one take
Native Mac screen recorder and editor that follows your cursor with cinematic auto-zoom, drops your webcam in as an overlay, and frames the whole thing on beautiful wallpapers. Pay once, $29, no subscription. Built for Apple silicon.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Mohammed Kareem. I built Instage Studio because I was tired of two things:
1. Spending more time editing a 2-minute product demo than I spent recording it.
2. Watching screencasts where the cursor disappears into a blob of UI and you can't tell what just got clicked.
Most screen recorders give you a raw video. Most editors make you wire up every zoom, cut, and pan by hand. Instage does the part in between: it watches your cursor and clicks during the recording, then plans graceful camera moves on a timeline you can still edit frame-by-frame. The result feels like After Effects work without the After Effects.
What's in v1:
🎯 Auto-zoom that follows the cursor and clicks
📷 Webcam overlay — vertical, square, or landscape
✨ Cursor effects — click ripples, smooth easing, per-moment cursor types replayed exactly
🎨 Beautiful wallpaper backgrounds + mesh gradients
📐 One-tap aspect ratios — 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 21:9, 3:4
🎬 HEVC, H.264, or ProRes export, up to 120 fps
🛡️ Local-first — no cloud upload, no account, no analytics
Pricing is simple: $29 one-time, lifetime updates, no subscription. The whole editor is free to try — record, edit, preview as much as you want. The one-time unlock is just for export.
This is my first launch on Product Hunt and I'm here all day for feedback, bugs, ideas, hate mail, anything. Thanks for trying it 🙏
