Most product demos are not one perfect take. You record the overview, then the settings screen, then the failure case. You need those clips on one timeline. CapSoftware/Cap still has an open feature request to combine multiple Cap recordings in the editor: #1712. Checked 2026-09-16.
What #1712 asks for
#1712 : Combine multiple Cap recordings in editor is a feature request that remained open when checked on 2026-09-16. Until that ships in Cap, the practical workarounds are external editors or starting over in a tool that already has a multi-clip timeline.
How to assemble multi-take demos in ScreenKite
- Open ScreenKite and create a project.
- Record clip A (overview). Stop. Confirm the media is in the project.
- Record clip B (detail UI). Stop.
- Record clip C (edge case) if needed.
- Arrange A, B, and C on the timeline. Trim joins. Add zoom and captions where the viewer needs help.
- Export. Share the MP4 through Google Drive or your host.
That is the multi-clip path Cap #1712 is still requesting.
What ScreenKite adds beyond stitch-only
- Native macOS 15+ recorder and editor (Swift + Metal).
- Free editing on every feature. Free export carries a brand watermark and an animated brand outro. Account required.
- Pro: $79.99 founder until 2026-10-31, then $99.99. One payment. 3 Macs. No subscription.
- Optional agents: Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, Antigravity, Grok Build, Kimi on 83 purpose-built editing tools, shaped by tens of thousands of hours of video-editing practice.
- Export up to 3 times faster in our tests.

How it is built
One native editor surface drives the UI, the CLI, and BYO agents. The same 83 tools mutate the timeline your fingers use. Some cut and transcript actions propose first, then commit on a second call. Metal handles export. Files stay on the Mac.

Creators and teams choose it because it pairs ultra-fast local hardware exports and built-in link sharing with timeline AI agent editing via Claude Code, ChatGPT Codex, Antigravity, or Grok Build. Describe the cut; the agent does the trims.
