What is ZXN Studio?
ZXN Studio is a creative video workspace for Mac, bringing together screen and camera recording, a multi-track editor, background removal, animated titles and colour tools. The current desktop app is labelled ZXN Video.
What is in the free plan?
The whole editor. Record your screen and camera, edit on a multi-track timeline, remove backgrounds, add titles and effects, and export up to 1080p at 30 fps. Nothing expires and no account is needed.
What does Studio add?
Every title style, filter and camera frame, all cut-out models with live background removal, depth occlusion, 3D surfaces and motion tracking, and exports at 4K, 60 fps and ProRes. Studio is $15.99 USD a month, renewing until cancelled, or a single $159 USD payment for lifetime access.
Can I try Studio features before paying?
Yes. On the free plan every Studio feature can be added to a project and previewed in the editor. Only exporting a project that uses them needs Studio, and the export sheet lists exactly which clips do.
Can I edit my recording afterwards?
Yes. Screen and camera captures can be imported as separate timeline clips. You can trim the edit and change the camera frame’s appearance and position afterwards.
Do I need AI to use the editor?
No. The editor works without connecting an AI assistant. Optional Codex assistance requires the official Codex CLI and your own authenticated account. Local AI tools may need model downloads.
Will background removal work on every clip?
Results depend on the subject, motion and footage. Review the cutout through the full clip, and use refinement controls where needed. The original source remains available.
What Mac do I need?
The current native screen recorder requires macOS 26 or later. See the system requirements in the documentation before purchasing.
