Screen recording is fine for showing a colleague something quickly. For a video you deliver, exporting is the better way: the file has the frame’s exact pixel size, the length you set and nothing on it that was not in the design. With Video Exportify, ten frames become ten videos in one go, where recording means ten takes and ten crops.
| Video Exportify | Screen recording | |
|---|---|---|
| Size | The frame’s own pixels, or twice that | Whatever your screen shows, then cropped |
| Length | Set in seconds; short clips loop | Wherever you stop the recording |
| Cursor and interface | Never in the file | Have to be cropped or hidden |
| Several versions | Select the frames, export once | One recording each |
| Frame rate | 30 or 60 fps, fixed | Depends on the recorder and the machine |
| Price | Free for 3 short exports a month, Pro €19 a month | Free |
When recording is the right tool
When you want to show a prototype being used: taps, transitions between screens, scrolling. Video Exportify exports a frame with video playing inside it; it does not play back prototype interactions.
