Hey, Product Hunt Community!
meet up Pan Studio – Beautiful screen recording, minus the editing headache 🎥
I created Pen because Windows deserves a screen recorder that feels premium and native — fast, fluid, and beautiful out of the box. No clunky interface, no laggy previews, no compromises. The easiest Windows-only recording and editing experience, built for people who want their demos to sound as good as the product they’re showing.
I believe that a screen recording should not sound like a screen recording. They should feel glossy, cinematic, and on-brand — without ever touching your after effects. That’s why Pan lets you restyle your recording after the fact — resize the cursor, smooth the motion, reframe the shot. No need for re-recording.
What’s inside Penn Studio 🎬
🎥 Effortless recording – full screen, specific area/window, or app. Multi-monitor support. Mic + system audio backed up.
✂️ Built-in editor – crop, crop, speed up, crop, and change aspect ratio (landscape, portrait, square) without leaving the app.
🖼 Beautiful Backgrounds and Padding – Choose from curated wallpapers or leave your own. Add shadows and padding for that polished, “designed” look.
🔍 Smart Zoom Effects – Auto zoom at the cursor, or set the zoom manually in the editor. Your viewers’ eyes go where they should be.
🖱 Cursor Magic – Change cursor size. After Recording, smooth out shaky motion, automatically hide idle cursors, loop cursor positions for smooth demos, and apply custom styles. No re-recording because your mouse crashed.
🎭 Cam Layouts and Masking – Place your webcam in custom layouts with neat masking options to hide sensitive information or highlight important parts of your screen recording.
📐 Presets and single frame exports – up to 4K 60fps. Ready to submit to YouTube, Shorts, TikTok, LinkedIn, or a major editor.
🔒 100% Local – Your recordings never touch a server. Everything stays on your machine.
💡 What’s coming next?
This launch marks just the beginning. In the coming months, we will focus on:
✅ Shortcut Capture – Quickly capture actions using custom shortcuts for a streamlined workflow.
✅ More Cursor Styles, Transitions, and Motion Blur – Additional visual options to make recordings feel smoother and more polished.
✅ Transcript Generation – Automatically generate transcripts from your recordings for easy review, sharing or subtitles.
Pan is the tool I’ve always wished existed—and I’m so excited to put it in your hands.
I would love your feedback. Break it down, check it out, tell me what’s missing. I’ve been here all day in the comments. 🙌
