The Verismo editor: a recording of the Verismo website framed on a crimson Friday Night backdrop, with a comic-avatar record webcam, the Motion inspector's cursor controls open, and a timeline showing zoom keyframes and the Friday Night music track.

A reliability contract

Record works. Export finishes. File lands.

The project exists before capture. Interrupted takes stay visible. Exports replace the destination only after completion.

Failures stay explicit and recoverable; incomplete exports never replace the last good file.

Inspect the full reliability contract →

One timeline · three deliverables

Record once. Edit the words. Ship the whole package.

Timed transcript words drive cuts, captions, and YouTube copy that stays aligned with the final edit.

Your key. Your explicit action. Narration audio leaves the Mac only when you request transcription; transcript text is sent only when you invoke refine, translate, or Publish Kit.

Features

The craft around the delivery pipeline

Frame, zoom, brand, mix, and organize with the same renderer that creates the export.

Designed framing

Pad, round, and float the capture on a solid, gradient, blurred, image, or animated procedural backdrop — grid-pulse, dots, waves. Reframe the same recording to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, or 4:5 for landscape, Reels/TikTok/Shorts, or square posts — no reshoot needed.

Auto-zoom from clicks

Your click clusters become smoothed zoom keyframes. Hand-edit any of them, or regenerate the whole envelope with one button.

A dark studio that wears your theme

The three-pane editor keeps tools, canvas, timeline, and selection details in view. Choose System, Light, or Dark, then let any theme carry its own color and project-local wallpaper into a new recording.

Dim the room, keep the pointer

For a walkthrough, everything but a soft circle around the cursor drops into shadow, and every recorded click gets a quiet synthesized tick — dimming and sound baked right into the export.

Sign your work

A logo watermark in the corner you choose, plus intro and outro cards that hold a title over the first and last seconds. Set it once and it saves with your Creator Style, then prints onto every take.

Verismo editor’s Branding inspector: a watermark toggle with logo thumbnail, position, size, and opacity controls, plus intro and outro title-card fields — an intro card reading “Verismo 1.1 — Broadcast” over the preview.

Annotations & music

Text, arrows, and highlights scoped to the timeline — plus blur and pixelate redactions (R) for anything the take shouldn't show. An MP3/M4A music bed rides underneath, with trim and volume handles. Everything bakes into the export.

Music that gets out of the way

Lay a track under your voice and it ducks itself — word-accurate when there's a transcript, level-matched from the mic when there isn't. No keyframing the volume by hand.

Usage

One take, three moves

A recording session in Verismo reads like its own timeline.

Record

Choose a source, arm the mic and camera, and record. The control bar and speaker notes stay out of capture; clicks and cursor movement are logged for editing.

Verismo's floating control bar: status badge reading “Ready — mic + cam”, mic, camera, library and play buttons, a 3-second countdown chip, and the round red record button.

Polish

Generate auto-zoom, style the cursor, choose a backdrop, and add captions, annotations, and music. Every control renders live.

Export

One Export Set renders the whole run in sequence — every aspect and format you publish to — without touching the project you edited.

FAQ

Before you ask

Short answers to the usual questions.

Which Macs does it run on?

Any Mac running macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

Do I need an OpenAI API key?

No. Recording, editing, and export are fully local. Your own key unlocks optional transcription and invoked AI actions such as Refine with AI, Translate, Smart Trim, and Publish Kit. Captions use the resulting timed transcript.

Where do my recordings live?

In ~/Movies/Osmo Recordings, as self-contained .osmoproj bundles holding the video, mic audio, cursor log, and your edits. The Library window lists them all; Finder works too.

Do I have to learn the shortcuts?

No — every move is clickable. When you're ready to go faster, press ? in the editor for the built-in cheat sheet, or browse every shortcut on its own page.

Can I polish a video I recorded somewhere else?

Yes. Import a QuickTime .mov or .mp4 (Library → Import, or ⇧⌘I) and Verismo turns it into an editable project — framing, zoom, cursorless captions, music, and all.

What exactly does export produce?

A single MP4 that matches the editor preview pixel-for-pixel — same renderer, same frame. Presets cover common sizes (e.g. 1080p30), and the Library can run a queued export across many takes.
