Video editing

Tighten slow stretches automatically.

Auto Pace finds low-action stretches and speeds them up, turning pauses and repetitive work into a tighter edit. Fine-tune the pacing, then add zooms wherever they help.

  • Choose how aggressively Auto Pace tightens the video
  • Move, resize, and adjust any zoom
  • Preview the edited timing or the original recording

Still images and video

Polish screenshots and videos in one place.

Crop and mark up screenshots. Trim videos, speed up slow moments, and place zooms where they draw attention. Preview the result, then export without leaving TightTake.
