Use cases
What people record with Prequel
One short page for each kind of video. Pick whichever is closest to what you are making: each says what usually goes wrong with it, and which part of Prequel is the answer.
No credit card required
Demos and launches
Showing the product to somebody who has not seen it before, and has not agreed to watch for very long.
Product demos
Record a product demo that looks produced
Walk through the product once. Prequel pushes in on every click, frames your camera, sets it on a background and exports one MP4 at up to 4K.
App demos
Show your app the way the store would
Record the app on your own machine and let Prequel do the part that usually needs an editor — the pushes, the framing, the background, the cuts.
Sales
Send the demo instead of booking the call
Record the walkthrough once, at the quality you would want on a call, and let it answer the question while you are asleep.
App Store
App previews, sized for the store
Record the app, let the zooms land on the moments worth seeing, and export at the shape the listing wants.
Launches
A launch video worth the front page
The video on a launch post is doing the selling. Record it once and let Prequel hand back something that looks like it took a week.
Teaching and onboarding
Recorded once, watched by everyone who needs it. The kind of video whose value is that it is not a meeting.
Onboarding
Onboarding that customers actually finish
A recording that pushes in on the thing being clicked is a recording people watch to the end. Prequel places those pushes for you.
Training
Record the training video once
Do the process on your screen while Prequel watches where you click and type. What comes back is the video you would have spent an afternoon editing.
Courses
Record course lessons that hold attention
One distance from the viewer for forty minutes is what makes a lesson hard to watch. Prequel varies it for you, on the moments that earn it.
Tutorials
Software tutorials people can follow
Record the steps once. The zooms land on what you clicked, the cursor stops wandering, and the result is a tutorial rather than a screen capture.
Publishing
Made to be posted, in the shape the platform wants it in.
YouTube
Screen recordings ready for YouTube
Record, look at a take that already has the pushes and the framing, trim what you fumbled, and export at 4K.
Vertical
The same take, vertical
Record once in landscape and switch the frame to 9:16. The camera and the padding stay where you put them instead of sliding off the edge.
Engineering
Small text, read closely, by people who will pause the video to look at it.
Bug reports
Show the bug instead of describing it
A recording that pushes in on the thing that went wrong saves the round trip that starts with which button did you press.
Code
Walk through code at a readable size
Prequel places a zoom on every burst of typing, so the line you are talking about is the line filling the frame.
Changelog
Ship the changelog as a clip
Thirty seconds of the feature actually working, recorded in the time it takes to write the paragraph about it.
Ways to record
The two questions people ask before anything else.
Screen and camera
Record your screen and your camera at once
Both at the same time, as separate tracks — so where the camera sits, what shape it is and whether it is there at all are decided afterwards.
System audio
Screen recording with system audio and mic
Both recorded, on separate tracks with separate gains, with no virtual audio driver to install first.
None of these quite it?
Every one of these is the same app. The features page is the whole list of what Prequel does to a recording.
