Rapidemo
Cursor
Last updated:
Customize how the mouse pointer appears in your video in the Cursor properties. Change its size, color, smoothness and much more.
Change the size, color theme and shadow
Adjust the cursor Size to increase visibility or make it more subtle.
Select a light or dark Color Theme to match your video’s look.
The Shadow Alpha control adjusts the drop shadow intensity of the cursor. Set it to 0% to remove the shadow completely.
Adjust smoothing, blur and rotation
Smoothing removes jittery movement from the cursor path. More smoothing looks more fluid, but it also gives up some fidelity, for instance near mouse clicks.
Rapidemo adds a subtle Blur Effect to the cursor to make it look more dynamic during fast movements. Adjust the Effect Strength to match your video’s style.
Movement Rotation tilts the cursor slightly as it moves, which makes the motion feel more alive.
Dynamic and static cursor types
Rapidemo replaces your system cursors with vector graphics that stay sharp at any resolution and zoom level. Besides the arrow, this includes the text input cursor, the hand cursor and many others.
To always show the arrow cursor instead, for instance while hovering a text input field, set the Cursor Types to Static.
Cursor motion at the end of the scene
At the End of the Scene, cursor movement often only leads to the stop button. Cut off cursor movement to keep the cursor still at the end. This is a per-Scene setting, in the Scene’s Cursor properties.
Loop cursor applies to the whole project, so it lives on the transport bar next to the playback controls rather than in the Cursor properties. It glides the cursor back to where it started, so you can loop the finished video cleanly. It changes the cursor path only; it doesn’t make playback repeat.
