Reframe is a desktop studio for product demos, pitch videos, presentations, tutorials, company updates, course lessons, and release walkthroughs.
What Reframe is
Reframe is a desktop studio for product demos, pitch videos, presentations, tutorials, company updates, course lessons, and release walkthroughs. It runs on macOS and Windows and records screen, webcam, and microphone input in sections, with multiple takes and a teleprompter. Recordings become editable text, so removing words or sentences cuts the matching video. Audio tools include noise removal, volume leveling, filler-word removal, and silence trimming. Video options include cursor-tracking auto-zoom, cursor smoothing, backgrounds, captions, background blur, colour grade, and studio backdrop effects. Exports are MP4 or GIF at up to 4K and 60fps with hardware acceleration. Audio cleanup and effects run on-device, and footage stays on the user’s machine. The Free plan costs nothing forever, needs no account, and allows 5 exports / month. Pro costs $12 a month with unlimited exports. Lifetime costs $79 a month, has no subscription, and includes 1 year of updates. A full refund is available by email within 30 days.
