Screen Studio released version 4.0 on October 1, 2026, which the maker calls its biggest update yet.1 The main changes:

  • Edit by transcript. Delete a sentence from the transcript to cut it from the video. The app can also find filler words and long pauses and offer to cut or shorten them.
  • Camera cutout (beta). Removes the background behind you on your Mac and places you in front of your screen.
  • Split screen. Shows you and your screen side by side, or one above the other in a vertical video, with layout changes animated automatically.
  • Face tracking keeps your face centered, and Hide during silence hides the camera while you’re not talking.
  • Glass Loupe magnifies a detail under a lens, as an alternative to zooming.
  • Faster exports, up to 3x on Macs with Apple silicon, and new recordings up to 2x smaller.

Projects saved in Screen Studio 4 don’t open in Screen Studio 3.1 The release notes don’t mention pricing, and the pricing page still lists one plan with every feature at $9 a month billed yearly or $29 month to month.2
