How a video is composed

Three sizes decide every video: your window, the virtual screen it stands on, and the output file. This clip shows all three — then dresses the composition up.

What it covers

  • Window — your app as captured; the input size.
  • Output — the file's resolution and quality.
  • Virtual screen — the stage between them; the camera moves across it.
  • Backgrounds — solid, gradient, or image — and they can animate mid-shot.
  • Chrome — the window's dress: macOS, Windows, none (or a phone — that's the Mobile clip).

Say it like

  • "Output at 1080p."
  • "Give the window more room on the virtual screen."
  • "Animate the background to a sage gradient."
  • "Make the window look like a Mac." / "No chrome at all."
