Framing

Make a raw recording look designed

Resize and position the recording so the background shows around it
Round the corners, add a border, and drop a shadow behind it
Add zooms and callouts so the click that matters is the one people see

What teams put on a clean background

Product demos for prospects

A recording framed on your brand colour reads as a finished demo instead of a screen share. Capture it with the screen recorder and style it before you send it.
