Full-screen recordings force viewers to squint at tiny UI elements. Auto-follow tracks your cursor and zooms into clicks automatically — making recordings 10x more watchable without any editing.
Zumie automatically follows your cursor and zooms into clicks — no editing required.

Click, navigate, type as you would. Zumie tracks your cursor position and every click event in the background.
After recording, Zumie automatically generates smooth zoom keyframes that follow your cursor and highlight your clicks.
The built-in editor shows the auto-zoomed result. Adjust any keyframe if needed, or export immediately.
These four features work together to turn raw screen captures into polished, professional videos.
The camera tracks your cursor in real time. Move to a menu, click a button, scroll through a page — the recording follows every movement so viewers never lose sight of what you're doing.
Every click triggers an intelligent zoom into the element you interacted with. Buttons, form fields, links — they all get highlighted automatically, no keyframes needed.
Zoom movements use eased animations that feel cinematic, not jarring. The camera glides between focus points with natural timing that keeps viewers engaged.
The combination of auto-follow, click zoom, and smooth transitions produces recordings that look like they were made by a professional video editor — in a fraction of the time.
Auto-follow means the recording camera automatically tracks your cursor movements and zooms into areas where you click. Instead of showing a static full screen, the recording dynamically focuses on what you're doing — making it much easier for viewers to follow along.
Both offer automatic cursor following with smooth zoom animations. The key differences: Zumie works in Chrome on any OS ($39), while Screen Studio is a Mac-only desktop app ($89). Both produce professional results. Zumie is better if you work in a browser; Screen Studio is better if you need to record native Mac apps.
Tella offers manual zoom controls where you set zoom keyframes in editing, but it doesn't automatically follow your cursor during recording like Zumie and Screen Studio do. This means more editing time to achieve a similar result.
Yes. In Zumie's editor, you can fine-tune the zoom level, adjust zoom speed, and modify individual zoom keyframes. The automatic zoom gives you a great starting point, and you can customize from there.
Zumie's auto-follow works with tab recording and full-screen recording. It tracks your cursor position and click events to determine where to zoom, regardless of what you're recording.
Record naturally. Zumie handles the zoom. No editing required.
