Record · Edit by transcript · Caption · Publish to YouTube
From raw recording to published video. On your machine, with your AI.
A desktop editor that runs entirely on your Mac or PC. Pay once, use forever. No subscription, no cloud upload.
Everything it takes to go from raw clip to published video.
Record, edit, polish, and publish in one local app, by hand or with your AI agent.
Record your screen, camera, and remote guests
Capture your screen and webcam, or record a remote podcast where every guest is saved locally in full quality. Screen recordings come in cursor-free, so the editor draws a smooth, scalable cursor on top.
- Screen plus camera
- Remote podcasts, recorded locally
- Smooth cursor that follows your zooms
If you can delete a word, you can edit a video.
Every recording is transcribed on-device. Delete text and the video re-cuts to match. Strip um, uh, repeats, and dead air across the whole timeline in one click, no scrubbing.
- Remove fillers like um and uh
- Remove repeated words and false starts
- Remove silences over a threshold
Captions that match your brand
Add animated, word-synced captions in a click. Ten styles, your brand colors, burned into the export so they play everywhere.
- 10 caption styles
- Brand-color aware
- Auto-timed to speech
Polished graphics without After Effects
Drop in lower thirds, stat reveals, chapter cards, flowcharts, and checklists, then connect your scenes with clean transitions.
- 13 motion-graphic templates
- Lower thirds and chapter cards
- 6 scene transitions
Make it look intentional
Color-grade with one-tap LUTs, keep your face centered with auto-reframe, arrange webcam layouts and backgrounds, and export to any aspect ratio.
- Color-grade LUTs
- Auto-reframe and crop
- 16:9, 9:16, and 1:1
Package it to actually get clicks
Generate titles, descriptions, and chapter timestamps, plus a thumbnail that reads your video instead of slapping on a generic shocked face.

- Chapter timestamps
- Thumbnails that fit the video
Publish straight to YouTube

Questions, answered.
Is it really a one-time purchase?
Yes. Download free and get 3 exports to try it. A one-time license ($99) unlocks unlimited exports forever, with lifetime updates. No subscription, ever.
Can I get a refund if I don't like it?
Absolutely. We offer a no-questions-asked refund policy. You can request a full refund within 14 days of purchase by sending an email to kamal@writepanda.ai
How is PandaStudio different from other screen recorders?
It is a full studio, not just a recorder. Record your screen, camera, or a podcast, then edit by transcript, add captions, zooms, and motion graphics, and publish, all in one app. You can even drive the whole editor with your own AI agent (Claude, ChatGPT, and more). And it runs on both Mac and Windows, not Mac only.
Does my footage leave my machine?
No. PandaStudio is local-first — recording, transcription, and editing all run on your computer. Even remote-podcast guest tracks transfer peer-to-peer, not through a cloud.
Can I record my screen, camera, and audio together?
Yes. Capture your screen, camera, microphone, and system audio at the same time, and reposition or resize the camera while you edit. You can also record multi-person podcasts with each guest captured locally in full quality.
Can I export in 4K?
Yes. Export local MP4 files up to 4K, plus vertical cuts for Shorts, Reels, and TikTok. You can also publish straight to YouTube and Instagram from inside the app.
Which AI do I need?
Your own. Connect your ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, or Kimi account for titles, thumbnails, and edit-by-asking. You pay your provider directly — no AI markup from us.
Mac and Windows?
Both. Native builds for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows.
What are the system requirements?
macOS 12 (Monterey) or newer, or Windows 10/11 (64-bit). Both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs work. Because the AI models run on your machine, we recommend Apple Silicon or 16GB+ RAM for smooth performance, and around 10GB of free disk while exporting longer videos.
Do you have an affiliate program?
Yes. We pay 30% commission on every sale you refer. Email kamal@writepanda.ai to get set up.
