Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rapidemo?

Rapidemo is an automatic screen recording app for Windows 10 and 11. It records your screen, cursor, camera, and microphone, then automatically adds zoom animations on clicks, smooths the cursor, generates subtitles, and applies cinematic layouts.
The result: a single take becomes a polished video ready to publish, without professional editing skills. Built for creators, founders, and agencies producing tutorials, product demos, launch videos, and client deliverables.

What makes Rapidemo different from other screen recording tools?

Rapidemo captures more than just your desktop.
It records your screen without the cursor and tracks mouse interactions separately. After the recording, the data is combined and a custom cursor is overlaid on the video.
The tracked mouse data lets Rapidemo create effects and animations based on clicks and cursor movements, automatically. It also enables many cursor customization options in the editor.
Conventional screen recording software captures the screen, including the mouse cursor, requiring professional post processing and editing skills to customize the cursor and animate mouse events.
