Zoom effects
Zoom in on a detail by hand — follow the cursor or lock onto a target, up to 350%.
Screen effects
Make every screen recording easy to follow
Zooms, an animated cursor, blurs and highlights — effects that guide viewers through what's on screen, all added after you record.

Four effects, one editor
Start with Auto Zoom for a first pass, then add zooms, restyle the cursor, and blur or highlight by hand.
Auto Zoom
Tella tracks your clicks and generates a full set of zooms for you, ready to fine tune.
Animated cursor
Redraw your cursor from recorded mouse data: pick a style, smooth its path, and make clicks pop.
Blur & highlight
Hide passwords and private data, or dim everything except the part viewers should look at.
Recorded once, styled later
Tella captures where your cursor goes and what you click while you record. Nothing is baked into the pixels, so zooms can follow the action and the cursor can be redrawn in any style long after you hit stop.
Every effect on the timeline
Zooms, blurs, and highlights are cards on their own tracks above the transcript. Move them, resize them, split them, or select a few and change them together — and let Auto Zoom lay down the first draft.
Frequently asked questions
Anything Tella draws on top of your screen recording to guide the viewer: zooms (added by hand or generated by Auto Zoom), the animated cursor, and blur and highlight overlays. Each has its own page with the details.
No. Record as you normally would. Tella captures cursor and click data alongside the screen, and every effect is added, moved, or removed in the editor afterwards.
Zooms, blurs, and highlights work on screen recordings and uploaded videos. The animated cursor and Auto Zoom need cursor data, which the Mac and Windows apps record for any capture and the Chrome extension records for browser tabs.
Yes. Zooms, blurs, and highlights each sit on their own timeline, and overlapping effects of the same kind are placed on separate tracks automatically, so nothing hides anything else.
Every effect is timed to the edited video, so when you cut a section or trim a clip the effects around it stay in sync with what viewers actually see.
