What’s new

Copy for AI

Every finished take gets a Copy for AI button. Its video is prepared ahead, so one click puts a ready prompt on your clipboard to paste into your agent (export for AI).

Shipped by Gabs

Four takes in the corner

Up to four finished takes stack in the corner, the newest at full size, so you can record again before dealing with the last one.

Shipped by Gabs

H.264 export

Shipped by Gabs

Raw recordings

New screen recordings start without a background. Turn on Background to frame them (frame and backdrop).

Shipped by Gabs

History that keeps up

History finds projects you move or rename and lists the ones exported for AI apart. Talk mode takes and projects exported for AI go to the Trash after 7 days, unless open. Exported videos stay.

Shipped by Eric

Settings search

Search Settings and jump straight to the option.

Shipped by Gabs

Zoom at a cut

A cut through a zoom no longer makes the frame jump.

Shipped by Eric

Agent recordings

Your agent’s first click on an inactive window now counts, it can record Kirocast’s editor window, and its screenshots during a take show only the recorded area.

Shipped by Gabs

Video filters

Adjust, Look, Blur, Zoom Blur, Focus, Spotlight and Sharpen sit on the Effects lane and ease in and out. Click one to add it at the playhead, sweep its row to preview it, and key its settings over time in the Effects tab.

Shipped by Eric

Keystrokes on screen

The keys you press show as keycaps, like a dark Mac keyboard: shortcuts only, or every key. Move and retime them on their own lane. Password fields are never recorded.

Shipped by Gabs

iPhone and iPad recording

Plug in an iPhone or iPad, pick it in the recording bar and record it from a live mirror. The take is drawn inside the device.

Shipped by Gabs

Desktop sound

Turn on Sound in the recording bar to record what your apps play on its own track, then move, trim or mute it apart from your voice.

Shipped by Gabs

AI Agent workspace

The new AI Agent mode gives the chat and the preview the whole window, and ⌘J opens the chat in a bubble over the editor. Editor keeps everything Advanced had.

Shipped by Gabs

Second screens

Your agent records the area you ask for on a second screen, not on the main one.

Shipped by Eric

Drag a zoom on the timeline to move it whole, ramp in and pull-back together. Dragging its left edge moves where it starts and keeps the ramp you tuned.

Shipped by Gabs

Every zoom can be deleted, including the first one added to a recording, and its camera positions go with it so later zooms frame the right spot.

Shipped by Gabs

The + on the zoom lane adds a zoom that lands, holds and pulls back at the playhead, shown in the preview right away.

Shipped by Gabs

Shipped by Gabs

The Kirocast manual

Every feature has a short guide in the manual. Start with Get started in five minutes, then connect Claude or Codex over MCP and let your agent make the video.

Shipped by Gabs

Buy from the app

When the trial ends, Buy a License opens checkout and the license lands on this Mac by itself, ready to export. The key is emailed too.

Shipped by Gabs

Motion blur (experimental)

Fast zoom and pan moves blur like a real camera, while what’s on screen stays sharp. It’s experimental, so it’s off by default: turn it on per version in the Effects tab, or ask your agent.

Shipped by Eric

Cursor styles

Kirocast draws your cursor back into the video: pick a style, set its size or hide it, and each version keeps its own.

Shipped by Gabs

Smooth cursor

Shipped by Gabs

Pointer tap taps
