What is it?

Cursor smoothing refines your cursor’s movement, making it glide smoothly rather than jumping or shaking. You can enable or disable it and adjust animation style in the Cursor section of the editor.

Why Use It?

A smooth cursor guides viewer focus and creates a more cinematic experience. It elevates screen recordings by removing distractions and highlighting precisely what's important during tutorials, product demos, and educational videos.
