Tutorial videos for desktop and phone apps: bring your own clip.
Not every product runs in a browser. For desktop programs, phone apps or tools behind a VPN, the quickest way to a tutorial is a screen recording you make yourself. clipooo takes it from there: it watches the recording, cuts it and puts a voice on it.

01When your own recording is the better way
- Desktop software on Windows, macOS or Linux.
- Apps on iPhone, iPad or Android.
- Web apps the live studio can’t reach: an intranet behind a VPN, a login with a hardware key, a test system on your own network.
- Recordings you already have – an old Loom, a Teams screen share, a tutorial that never got edited.
02Record in two minutes
| System | How to record |
|---|---|
| Windows | Snipping Tool → Record, or Win + Alt + R (Game Bar) |
| macOS | ⇧⌘5 → record the whole screen or a selected area |
| iPhone / iPad | Control Center → Screen Recording |
| Android | Quick settings → Screen recorder |
| Any system | OBS Studio, or download a Loom video |
03What clipooo does with it
- 01
Upload
Choose “Bring your own clip” under New video and drop the file in: MP4, MOV, WebM or MKV, up to 10 minutes.
- 02
Watch
Claude looks at the recording and finds the steps: what was clicked, typed and opened, and what happened next.
- 03
Cut
Every step plays as you filmed it. Waiting, loading, a wandering mouse and slips are cut out; the picture holds while the voice explains.
- 04
Narrate
The script is written in the language you pick and spoken in one of the voices, or shown as subtitles – with chapters and a zoom on typed fields.
04Tips for a clean result
- Record one window or one screen, not three monitors. Close chats and switch off notifications first.
- Do the task once, calmly. You don’t need to talk – the sound of the recording isn’t used.
- Hesitating is fine; clipooo cuts it. What it can’t do is show a step you didn’t record.
- Use test data. clipooo doesn’t blur anything, so what is on screen is in the video.
- If you know what the recording shows, say it in one sentence when uploading – the script gets more precise.
05What you get
The same as with every clipooo video: an MP4, a subtitle file, a chapter list for YouTube and, on paid plans, a place in your hosted catalog. If a sentence isn’t right, change it – the video is cut again from your recording, at no cost.
