Start, stop and pause

Last updated: 31 July 2026

Start, stop, pause and cancel recordings with the on-screen buttons. Each pause creates a Clip boundary you can use as a cut in the editor.

Start and stop a recording

Start and stop recordings with the on-screen buttons.

Rapidemo discards recordings shorter than about 2 seconds. If you stop immediately after starting, no project is created.

Pause and resume

Pause a recording to take a break, prepare the next step, or skip something you don’t want in the video, then resume the same session.

Each pause creates a Clip boundary in the editor: the recording continues in a new Clip. That makes pauses natural cut points. You can adjust or remove them later, since gaps between Clips are cuts.

Cancel or restart a recording

Cancel abandons the current recording. Nothing is saved and no project is created.

You can also restart a recording, which cancels the current take and immediately starts a new one, so you can redo a take in a single step.
