A tutorial video maker that zooms in on every step

Built for step-by-step videos

• Auto-zoom on clicks and typing keeps each step readable
• Bigger, smooth cursor with click highlights shows exactly where to click
• Cut mistakes without re-recording
• GIF export for help-center articles, READMEs and docs

Tips for a great tutorial

• Record one task per video and say the goal in the first sentence
• Close notifications and unrelated windows, or record a single window
• Move the mouse calmly; Skrimo smooths it, but deliberate moves read best
• Keep it under three minutes and link to the next step

Plan a tutorial in five minutes

1. Write the goal as one sentence: “By the end, you’ll have …”.
2. List the steps exactly as a new user would do them.
3. Prepare the starting state (a clean account, sample data, the right window size).
4. Record each step at a calm pace, saying what you’re about to click before you click it.
5. Cut pauses and mistakes on the timeline, check the zooms, and export.

Don’t worry about mistakes while recording

You don’t need a perfect take. If you misclick, pause, go back and do the step again, then cut the mistake out afterwards. Skrimo keeps your cursor smooth and the zooms aligned with the clicks that remain.

Where to publish tutorials

• Help center and docs: short GIFs that play inline, one per step
• YouTube: a 16:9 MP4 with chapters in the description
• In-app onboarding and emails: a 30–60 second MP4 per task
• Internal wikis: record once, link everywhere

Tutorials vs explainer videos

A tutorial teaches someone to do a task step by step; an explainer video explains what something is and why it matters. Many teams make both: an explainer for the website and a set of tutorials for the help center.
