Liveora Studio's editor: a demo shop's refund dialog on an iris backdrop with a spotlight, step 3 and a callout; the timeline below holds clips for the title, steps, arrow, spotlight, zooms, highlight and blur

Pick what to record.

Screen: Any display, chosen from live thumbnails.
Window: One app window from a searchable list with app icons.
Browser tab: Edge, Chrome, Brave or Vivaldi records the tab itself and keeps its sound. Liveora Studio opens a local page in the browser where you pick the tab.
Region: A rectangle dragged out on any display.
Sound: Microphone with a live level meter; system audio on Windows.
Start: A 3 or 5 second countdown, 30 or 60 frames per second.

The New recording page: Screen, Window, Browser tab and Region tabs, the selected display previewed in capture brackets, microphone level, recording options and the red Start recording button

A bar that stays out of the take.

While you record, a small bar floats above everything: pause, stop, restart, discard and the microphone level, plus buttons for the live tools when they're on. The bar never shows up in the recording. Liveora Studio itself steps out of the taskbar and waits in the notification area, or the menu bar on a Mac, with the timer in its tooltip.

Pause: Ctrl+Shift+F9 ⌘+Shift+F9 on a Mac
Stop: Ctrl+Shift+F10 ⌘+Shift+F10 on a Mac
Live pen: Ctrl+1zoomCtrl+2drawTtypeScreen and region recordings only; every mark goes into the video. ⌘+1 and ⌘+2 on a Mac.

Takes stream to disk as you record. If Liveora Studio ever crashes mid-take, the next start restores everything recorded so far as a project.

Cut, mark and time it on one timeline.

Liveora Studio's editor with nothing selected: the project panel shows Frame and background with the Iris backdrop, margin, corner radius and shadow

Cut: Ssplits at the playhead· delete a clip and the gap closes · drag clip ends to trim
Range: IOmark in and outXcut the rangeShift+Xkeep only it
Marks: Arrow, rectangle, ellipse, text, highlight, blur or pixelate, step number, spotlight, zoom and pan. Each one is a clip with its own timing and fades.
Audio: System sound and microphone on separate tracks, with waveforms, volume and mute.
Undo: Undo and redo for everything, autosave, and ? lists every shortcut

Frame it, grade it, join the cuts.

Frame and background turns a raw screen into a product-demo shot: the footage sits on one of eight backdrops with a margin, rounded corners and a soft shadow, and the marks follow the footage.

A frame of the exported video: the refund dialog on the Iris backdrop, dimmed around it by a spotlight, with step 3 and a “Choose a reason” callout — A frame of the exported MP4, straight from the file.

The clip properties: the Focus effects with Vignette selected and its strength slider, and the transition gallery with Fade selected

Backdrops: Iris, Sunset, Ocean, Mint, Candy, Graphite, Paper, Black.
Effects: Colour correction, black and white, sepia, noir, negative, old film, cinematic, VHS, glitch, glow, Matrix, blur, pixelate, vignette. One strength slider, and one button to apply it to every clip.
Transitions: Fade, through black, dissolve, wipe, split, blinds, circle, clock, push, zoom, cube, flip, doors; 0.2 to 2 seconds on any cut.

Export what you previewed.

One renderer draws both the preview and the export, so the file matches the editor frame for frame. Pick a format, a resolution, a frame rate and a quality; Liveora Studio estimates the size before it starts.

MP4: H.264 and AAC. Plays everywhere.
WebM: VP9 and Opus. The open web format.
GIF: For docs and chat; repeated frames are merged to keep it small.
Share: One click uploads the export to your own OneDrive or Google Drive and copies the link. There is no Liveora Studio server in between, so you register your own app with Microsoft or Google once; the steps are in Settings.

The export dialog: MP4, WebM and GIF cards with MP4 recommended, original 1920×1080 resolution, 30 fps, high quality and an estimate of about 7.9 MB for 13 seconds

Your recordings, where you left them.

Projects live in Videos\Captora (Movies/Captora on a Mac), exports in Videos\Captora\Exports. The first start opens with a short demo of record, annotate, export.

Liveora Studio's first start: a welcome message beside a demo stage and a miniature timeline with Record, Annotate and Export chapters

The Recordings page with four projects: Refund an order, Export orders to CSV, Invite a teammate, Set up a discount

Good to know before you start.

macOS audio: Liveora Studio can't record a Mac's system audio. A virtual audio device such as BlackHole, picked as the microphone, works around it. A browser tab's own sound records on both systems.
Browsers: Tab recording needs Edge, Chrome, Brave or Vivaldi; with Safari or Firefox, record the window.
Permissions: On a Mac, allow Liveora Studio under Privacy & Security › Screen & System Audio Recording; it opens the panel for you.
Tray icon: Windows 11 tucks new tray icons behind the ^ arrow. Pin Liveora Studio in Settings › Personalization › Taskbar if you want it in sight.
Name: The 0.1.0 previews were built before the rename, so they still install and run as Captora (Liveora Studio) and Captrio (Liveora Snap) and keep those names for their folders.
Signing: The preview isn't code-signed yet: on Windows the browser and SmartScreen each ask once, and macOS needs Open Anyway. What to click
Built with: Electron, React and Microsoft's Fluent UI; Windows.Graphics.Capture and Media Foundation on Windows, ScreenCaptureKit on macOS.
