Vidova turns a screen recording into a walkthrough: automatic zooms on clicks, cursor-following camera, filler cuts, captions, and a file you export. Cap records the screen so you can send a link. If the job is a polished demo, that is Vidova.
Who this is for
- Vidova: product demos, SaaS tours, and tutorials that need click-cluster zooms and a timeline you can still rewrite.
- Cap: a Loom-style share link. Not an auto-zoom editor.
| Vidova | Cap | |
|---|---|---|
| OS | ||
| Auto zoom | Click clusters, cursor follow, editable zoom layer | Not the product. Cap is a share-link recorder. |
| Files you keep | Local MP4, Premiere FCPXML, Resolve OTIO | Share page or self-host. Not an NLE round-trip. |
| Hosted player | Optional. Export stays local. Own S3 if you want it. | Sharing is the product. |
| Price | Free plan with watermarked 720p exports. Lifetime is a one-time $49 purchase on vidova.ai. | Free personal. Desktop $29/year. Pro $12/user/mo or $8.16/user/mo annual. |
The split
Vidova is the editor after capture. Cap is the link after capture. Use Vidova when the recording has to read as a demo. Cap does not place click-cluster zooms or export FCPXML / OTIO.
