Record a tutorial of the app

File › Record › Record Tutorial… records the project window with the cursor, shows your clicks, and zooms in on the panel you work in. Each recording joins a Tutorial Recordings sequence.

Choose File › Record › Record Tutorial…. It needs macOS 15 or later. The first time, macOS asks you to allow VLPremiere Pro under Screen Recording.

The options (remembered)

• Follow the panel under the mouse: zooms in on the panel you work in; you can change it afterwards.
• Show clicks: a soft ring where you click (orange for a right click).
• Record the microphone.
• Record the app's sound.

Press Start Recording. Only the app's own windows are recorded, with the cursor. A small bar shows "Recording 0:42" and Stop; it is never in the recording.

After recording

• Each recording is saved in a Recordings folder beside the project and added to the end of the sequence Tutorial Recordings. That sequence is not opened, so the timeline you are showing stays in front.
• The zoom is made of ordinary Scale and Position keyframes, which you can change or delete in Effect Controls.

File › Record › Record Screen still records the whole screen.
