Screen recordings for software updates

Create software release videos on Mac.Show what changed and how it helps.

A release video gives a new feature context: where to find it, what you can do with it and how the result changes the work. Record one complete task, then refine it into an explanation your users can replay.

€79 once. No subscription required.

Includes one year of updates. Keep your included versions forever.

For Macs with Apple Silicon, macOS 15 or later.

Finish a product update and schedule the post

Review the update, schedule it on two channels and move it to a new date with the complete calendar in view.
Read the video transcript

Start with the full publishing calendar. Review the updated draft and select both channels. Choose October 15 at 10:30. Schedule the post and return to the calendar. Drag the scheduled post from October 15 to October 22. The post is now scheduled for October 22.

Show the feature in context

Start from a recognizable screen and perform the task. Give viewers a result rather than an isolated click.

Keep the action readable

Review automatic zooms, retain the surrounding labels and cut the waiting that adds no useful context.

Prepare the release assets

Export a landscape walkthrough for release notes or compose a focused vertical version for a short social tutorial.

Make it work for your story

From release note to recorded task.

Choose one change that matters to a user. The recording should answer what it does and how to use it, with the same starting state as the written release note.

  1. Choose the user outcome

    Write one sentence about the work the update improves. Set up a realistic task and the data needed to complete it.

  2. Record the whole action

    Show how to find the feature, use it and verify the result. Record a microphone or camera if the explanation benefits from a presenter.

  3. Edit around the task

    Remove waits, review each zoom target and add a short label for any setting that needs explanation.

  4. Publish the finished file

    Export the video and add it to release notes, a help article or your chosen social platform. Keep the project for the next UI update.

Keep one useful story in each clip.

The screen is the proof of the update. Make the feature and its result easy to recognize at the size where the video will be watched.

Retain the starting point

A viewer needs to know where the action begins. Keep the navigation or a short opening overview before zooming into a control.

Compose for the destination

Use 16:9 for a wider walkthrough or 9:16 for a focused vertical explanation. Reframe the screen so the task remains readable.

End with the changed state

Hold on the result long enough to understand it. Pair the clip with a written release note and a link to the relevant guide.

Planning a software release walkthrough

Can I update the edit when the interface changes?

Save a licensed project to keep editable effects and timing. For a changed screen or action, record a fresh take rather than hiding an inaccurate workflow.

Does Lorivelle upload to release-note or social platforms?

Lorivelle exports the finished file. Upload it to your chosen publishing platform; direct publishing is not included.

Can I use a silent version?

Yes. Export an MP4 with the appropriate audio settings and add captions, or make a silent GIF for a short preview. Check readability at the final display size.
