Renee Video Editor Pro is a comprehensive tool for video recording and editing. It integrates screen recording, post-production, and format conversion. You can customize the recording area, screen size, watermark, cursor style, sound source, and output format. It also supports automatic recording schedules. Whether recording online movies, meeting videos, game screens, or software tutorials, it enables you to save them to your computer with one click.
The software can optimize video content during post-production by editing or merging clips, cropping, rotating, flipping, adding opening/ending animations, applying transition effects, switching between filter styles, dubbing, adding or removing sound effects, and importing or creating subtitles. After editing, you can convert the video to various formats, including MXF, AVI, MKV, MP4, MOV, M2TS, M4V, AAC, and AC3, with support for free conversion between video and audio formats.

After entering the settings page, click the Cursor option to set the mouse effect during recording. To record cursor operations, check “Embed mouse cursor in recording”, “Embed mouse cursor in screenshots”, “Mouse click and effect”, and “Mouse click effect”. You can also view the dynamic effects of mouse left click and double click. After setting, click OK to save.
Step 4: On the “Ready” interface, click the Record button, select the area you want to record, and then click the Record button in the lower right corner to start recording the screen.

Renee Video Editor Pro features an easy-to-use automatic recording function. Click the Auto button in the lower right corner of the “Ready to Record” interface to access the automatic recording settings. You can specify the start and end times for the recording. When the start time arrives, the software will automatically begin recording, making the process convenient and worry-free.
Notice: If you select “do not stop” in “automatically stop setting” and “hide the software” in “how to display the software when recording automatically”, use the shortcut key Ctrl+Alt+F3 to stop recording. Alternatively, end the Screen Recorder task in the task manager’s background processes. The recording file will be in the preset output folder.
