The version picker
Beside the project name in the editor’s title bar sits the name of the version you are editing. A fresh recording opens on Version 1. Click it to see every version of the project, with a checkmark on the one that is open, then pick another to switch.
Kirocast saves as you edit, and saves the version you leave before it opens the next one. The project reopens on the version you had open last. Export renders the version that is open.
Duplicate and rename
- Open the version picker and choose Duplicate Version. Kirocast copies the version you are on and switches to the copy, named after it: Version 1 copy.
- Choose Rename Version… to give it a name that says what it is for, such as “Changelog” or “Full demo”. Names are unique within a project.
- Edit the copy freely. The version you duplicated stays exactly as you left it.
The original
Every project also keeps the timeline as it came out of the recording: the automatic zooms and effects, before any edit. It sits in the picker with a lock as Copy Original. Choosing it opens a fresh, editable copy named Version 2, Version 3 and so on, so the starting point is always one click away and stays as it was.
What each version keeps
| Part of the project | Belongs to |
|---|---|
| Cuts and clip speeds | Each version |
| Zooms and position keys | Each version |
| Masks, Smart Annotations and Tap Taps | Each version |
| Captions, with Show captions and Size | Each version |
| Frame, backdrop and Animation settings | Each version |
| Click animations, the camera bubble and the visible timeline rows | Each version |
| Screen recording, clicks and camera footage | The whole project |
| Audio tracks heard, and their order | Each version |
| Narration takes and the recording’s transcript | The whole project |
| Project name | The whole project |
Undo history belongs to each version too. Switch away and back, and ⌘Z still steps through that version’s edits.
Agents work with versions as well: list_versions, create_version, switch_version, rename_version and delete_version. See the MCP tool reference.
