Record a demo of Cutaway

Make a how-to video of Cutaway itself, with Cutaway’s own recorder.

Normally Cutaway keeps all of its own windows out of your recordings, so it never gets in the way of what you’re showing. If you want to show Cutaway itself, for example to teach someone how to use it, turn on demo mode.

Turn it on

1. Open the recorder

   On the Projects screen, press New recording.

2. Open the recording options

   Press the gear at the right of the bottom bar.

3. Switch on Record Cutaway too (for demos)

   A note under Start recording says “Cutaway will be in this recording”.

4. Choose what to record and start

   Pick your Display or an Area. With demo mode on, you can also pick Cutaway’s own window under Window.

While you record

• Cutaway stays open instead of hiding, so you can show it.
• You can go anywhere in the app: the projects screen, another project, the editor, export. The recording keeps going.
• Stop from the floating recording controls. Cutaway goes back to the project you started in and adds the recording there.

What’s in the video

In the video	Not in the video
Cutaway’s window, its menus and pop-up windows	The floating recording controls
Everything else on your screen	The teleprompter
	The countdown and your camera bubble

So you can still read a script on the teleprompter while you demo.

Demo mode is only for the current session. Next time you open Cutaway, recordings leave Cutaway out again, so it never shows up in a normal recording by surprise.
