Screen Recorder
For SaaS & Startup Founders
Turn your product into a clear, polished demo without turning yourself into a video editor.
Download for Windows
Pane Studio is an auto zoom screen recorder for Windows built for founders creating product demos, launch videos, feature updates, onboarding walkthroughs, and pitches. Record your product, let Pane guide attention with smooth zooms and cursor motion, make a few focused edits, and ship.
Show your product without overproducing it
You already spent enough time building the product. Creating the video that explains it should not become another project.
Product demos & investor pitches
Make complex products easier to understand
Walk through your SaaS, desktop app, dashboard, developer tool, or new workflow while Pane keeps attention on the part of the interface that matters.
Automatic zoom brings smaller controls, menus, charts, and interactions into focus. Smooth cursor movement makes the walkthrough easier to follow, while the built-in editor lets you remove mistakes and tighten the pacing afterward.
Use it for homepage product demos, investor updates, sales walkthroughs, pitch decks, and those moments when showing the product works better than another ten slides.
Social media & launch videos
Turn a new feature into something worth stopping for
Launching on X, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, Reddit, or your own website?
Record the feature once, then polish it into a focused launch video with clean framing, automatic zoom, smooth cursor motion, backgrounds, and the right aspect ratio for where you want to publish it.
Create short feature reveals, product teasers, launch announcements, build-in-public updates, or longer walkthroughs without rebuilding everything inside a traditional video editor.
Your product gets the attention. Not the recording software.
Onboarding & feature updates
Explain what changed without scheduling another call
Show customers exactly how to get started, complete an important workflow, or use the feature you just shipped.
Pane Studio helps you create onboarding videos, changelog demos, help-center walkthroughs, customer updates, and quick support clips that are easier to follow than a raw screen recording.
Zoom into the important step, trim the parts that do not matter, add your voice or webcam when context helps, and give customers something they can understand on their own time.
From recording to launch
A polished product demo does not need a production workflow.
1. Capture your product
Use Pane's screen recorder to capture your full screen, an application window, or a focused area.
Add your microphone, webcam, and system audio when the demo needs narration, a founder-led presentation, or sound from the product itself.
2. Let Pane focus the recording
Record the workflow naturally instead of worrying about camera moves while you are presenting.
Pane can automatically add zoom segments after recording to bring attention to important interactions. Keep them, refine them, or add your own manual zoom points when you want precise control.
3. Refine the important parts
Cut mistakes. Trim pauses. Adjust pacing. Reframe the screen. Change the cursor. Tweak zooms. Add a background. Reposition your webcam.
Pane's editor is built around screen recordings, so you can polish the demo without moving everything into a general-purpose video editor.
4. Export and ship
Review the final walkthrough and export it for the place it needs to live.
Create landscape videos for landing pages and Product Hunt, square cuts for social posts, or portrait versions for vertical content. Export up to 4K 60fps when you need the extra detail.
Then get back to building.
Make every click easier to follow
Auto Zoom for product demos
Great software can still be difficult to explain when the entire interface is squeezed into one video frame.
Pane Studio's auto zoom screen recorder helps viewers follow the actual workflow by bringing important parts of the screen closer when they need attention.
Enable auto zoom before recording and Pane prepares zoom segments after the take. You can then change the timing, zoom level, or focal area inside the editor instead of being stuck with the first result.
For dense SaaS dashboards, developer tools, analytics products, admin panels, design software, and feature-heavy interfaces, that means viewers spend less time searching the screen for whatever you just clicked.
Automatic when you want speed
Let Pane prepare zooms around the interaction and get a polished first pass immediately after recording.
Manual when the moment matters
Add or adjust zoom points yourself when a particular feature, result, metric, or interaction deserves precise emphasis.
Editable after recording
Your zooms are not baked into the recording. Refine their timing and focus without recording the entire demo again.
Your cursor becomes part of the presentation
Smooth cursor control without rehearsing every movement
Real product demos are messy.
You overshoot buttons. Move the mouse while thinking. Leave the cursor sitting over important text. Jump across the screen faster than viewers can follow.
Pane captures cursor behavior separately so you can improve it after recording.
Smooth rough mouse movement, resize the cursor, hide it when idle, and make interactions feel deliberate without performing the perfect take.
The result is a product walkthrough that feels composed even when the recording itself was not.
For founders, that means fewer retakes just because your mouse movement looked awkward.
Put yourself in the demo when it helps
Screen, webcam, microphone & system audio together
Sometimes the product should speak for itself. Sometimes the founder should be part of the story.
Record your screen, webcam, microphone, and system audio together when you want to introduce a launch personally, walk investors through a workflow, explain the reasoning behind a feature, or create a more human onboarding video.
After recording, adjust your camera framing and layout without rebuilding the presentation from scratch.
Use a screen-first layout when the product is the focus. Bring your webcam forward when your explanation matters more.
Pane gives you the flexibility to do both in the same workflow.
Your unreleased product stays on your computer
Local-first recording for work that is not public yet
Founders regularly record things that should not end up sitting inside someone else's cloud workspace.
Unreleased interfaces. Internal dashboards. Customer information. Revenue metrics. API keys accidentally visible in a terminal. Proprietary code. Features that are still under embargo.
Pane Studio records and edits your media locally on your Windows computer. Your recordings are not uploaded to Pane's servers by default.
You decide what leaves your machine and when.
That makes Pane especially useful when you need to record a pre-launch product, internal build, private staging environment, or anything else you would rather keep under your control.
Built for the machine you already build on
Hardware-accelerated performance on Windows
Your screen recorder should not assume it is the only application running.
Founders and developers often record while running browsers full of tabs, local development servers, IDEs, design tools, databases, Electron apps, Docker containers, or the product itself.
Pane Studio is built specifically for Windows and uses hardware-accelerated processing and export paths across supported Intel, AMD, and NVIDIA hardware.
It is designed to make polished screen recording practical without requiring a dedicated video-production workstation.
So you can spend your hardware budget on running the product—not merely recording it.
Professional product videos without becoming a video editor
Everything revolves around screen recording
Traditional video editors are incredibly capable.
That is also the problem when all you need is a great two-minute product demo.
Pane Studio puts the screen-recording features founders actually need close at hand: automatic zoom, cursor smoothing, trimming, speed controls, cropping and reframing, backgrounds, aspect ratios, camera layouts, audio controls, privacy masks, and export settings.
You can make a simple recording with almost no editing or refine an important launch video much further.
No keyframing every click. No rebuilding the screen inside a complicated composition. No spending half a day polishing a 45-second feature announcement.
Record. Refine. Ship.

If you are a founder working on Windows and searching for a Screen Studio alternative for Windows, Pane is built for exactly that job.
Not just capturing your screen.
Making the product on it look good.
