Reviewers mostly see FocuSee as a fast, easy way to make polished tutorials and demos, with auto zoom, cursor tracking, click effects, captions, noise reduction, and newer AI tools cutting down manual editing. Several compare it favorably to Screen Studio or other recorders, saying it fits creator, educator, and product demo workflows well. A maker of
Chinilla similarly says the automatic zooms and highlights kept walkthroughs low-effort. The main complaints are reliability and workflow gaps: failed or incomplete exports, crashes, awkward UI moments, missing sharing, and requests for more templates, voice controls, layers, and undo.

Hey Product Hunters! 👋
We’re really happy to be back here 2 years after our first launch, this time with FocuSee 2.0.
Over the past two years, we’ve kept working on one idea: making “record your screen and get a polished video automatically” feel more complete, more natural, and more aligned with how people actually create today.
Along the way, we talked with many users and learned the same thing over and over: people don’t just want to record their screens. They want to quickly turn rough recordings into polished videos for product demos, tutorials, walkthroughs, online courses, marketing videos, and more — without spending hours editing afterward.
That’s really what shaped FocuSee 2.0.
We kept refining the product around real workflows and habits, and this release is the result of that work.
What’s new in FocuSee 2.0?
✔️ Record mobile demos and tutorials as easily as desktop workflows, with iOS and Android screen recording now built in.
✔️ Go beyond flat zoom with 3D Motion, adding more cinematic depth when you want stronger visual storytelling.
✔️ Keep your delivery natural and confident with in-built teleprompter, so you spend less time stopping and starting over.
✔️ Make every step easier to follow with annotations, magnifier and highlight effects, auto subtitles, and visualized keyboard shortcuts.
✔️ Keep sensitive information out of view more easily with blur effects.
✔️ Make rough recordings look and sound more refined with AI background removal or replacement, voice enhancement, noise reduction, and filler word & silence removal.
✔️ Choose the presentation style that best fits your story with AI avatars and dynamic camera layouts.
All of these improvements are built around the same idea: helping you create more polished, professional videos without making your workflow heavier.
We’re genuinely grateful to everyone who shared feedback, feature requests, and real use cases with us over the past two years. FocuSee 2.0 is a much better product because of those conversations.
🎁 As a thank-you to the Product Hunt community, we’re also offering an extra 30% off.

We’d love to hear what you think and answer any questions. Thanks so much for checking out FocuSee 2.0!

@inc_focusee https://www.producthunt.com/products/velo-4 launched this month.
how do you compare it with them in terms of output.
FocuSee
@mohsinproduct I’ve seen Velo’s launch too. It looks interesting, and respect to their team. I don’t want to turn this into a “us vs. them” comparison, because each product probably has its own strengths, and different tools may be optimized for different workflows.
Velo seems to be tackling the question of why it’s still hard to make a simple video message. While FocuSee is more focused on the “recording to polished output” problem.
Ultimately, it depends on your use case, so trying both might be the best way to see which output works better for your workflow.
@inc_focusee For someone building PH launch tutorials or LI workshop walkthroughs, how well does the AI handle cleaning up natural "teaching moments" like pauses for emphasis or jumping between tabs? Does it preserve that authentic flow while adding subtitles/3D motion?
FocuSee
@dayal_punjabi That’s actually one of the areas we care a lot about.
For tutorial-style videos, we don’t want the AI to make everything feel overly polished or robotic. The goal is to clean up the obvious friction, like filler words and long pauses, while still keeping the natural teaching flow, including short pauses for emphasis.
We keep improving the 2D and 3D zoom effect to make the motion smoother, the highlight positions more accurate, and the overall visual effect more beautiful.
So ideally, it is just with the boring editing work handled for you :)

@abod_rehman The filler word removal works for non-native English speakers. Now you can get AI credits for free to try this feature yourself with free trial. Please do have a try and let me know what you think of this feature.
The iOS screen recording built in is the feature I've been waiting for, as an indie iOS maker I've been jumping between QuickTime, my iPhone, and a separate editor just to make a decent app demo.
Two years of user feedback clearly shaped this into something much more complete.
Does the mobile recording work wirelessly or does it need a USB connection to the Mac?
FocuSee
@misbah_abdel Thanks for the nice words. Yeah, FocuSee is more complete with the genuine feedback from users. USB connection is required for mobile recording to ensure stability.
The gap between 'I just recorded this' and 'this looks professionally edited' has always been the biggest friction point for indie makers. Focusee 2.0 seems to nail that last mile especially the filler word removal, that one's a dealbreaker for me with AI voice tools since I'm not a native english speaker lol. The 3D motion is a nice touch too, adds that cinematic feel without having to touch a timeline
Congrats on the launch! 👏
FocuSee
@alimkhan_y Thanks so much 🙌
Yeah, after talking with a lot of makers, this became even clearer to us: recording is the easy part. The painful part is turning that raw take into something clean enough to share without spending another hour in an editor.
Filler word removal was a big one for us too, especially for non-native English speakers or anyone recording unscripted demos.
And 3D Motion is probably my personal favorite. It makes the video feel more polished without adding extra editing work.
Really appreciate you checking it out!
Super keen to try out filler word removal, this is something I struggle with when recording demos and tutorials so this is great. How does voice work for the avatar? Do you upload an mp4 to overlay or does it use a transcript to generate audio?
FocuSee
@sandra_jirongo Filler word removal is exactly built for that kind of use case 🙌
For the avatar voice: it uses the audio you record in real time. So when you’re recording your demo/tutorial and speaking through your mic, that same audio is what's used with the avatar. There’s no need to upload an MP4 or generate voice from a transcript. It’s all synced directly with your recording.
@jocelyuki perfect! Thanks I'll let you know how this works for my usecase
Been using Loom for product walkthroughs for the last year and the
friction is always "does anyone actually watch a 4-minute video"?
Does FocuSee have any view-data showing where people drop off, or are
you keeping that for v3?
That's the missing piece when I'm deciding
what to even bother recording.
FocuSee
@naumaan_zahid Great question and totally get where you're coming from. We don’t have view/drop-off analytics in place just yet, and it’s not on our immediate roadmap at the moment. That said, this is a really valuable idea, especially for deciding what’s worth recording, so we’ll definitely consider it as we plan v3 (but no guarantee it will be included).
Does it give you the option to edit raw or lightly edited clips to your own timing in a main stream editor?
FocuSee
@jacinto_salz Yes, you can export the recording and bring the raw or lightly edited clip into your usual video editor to fine-tune the timing.
That said, FocuSee isn’t trying to be another full editing suite. We’re still focused on screen recording, plus automated / one-click polishing that helps makers get a clean, share-ready video much faster.
For more advanced editing needs, a dedicated editor like Premiere, Final Cut, or DaVinci Resolve would still be the better place to finish the work.
