FlowPrompter + CleanShot X
Quick captures from CleanShot X, clean narration from a script.
CleanShot X is built for speed: hit the menu-bar shortcut, drag out an area, and share a recording in seconds. The speed evaporates when narration takes five retakes. With FlowPrompter, the few sentences you need sit right beside the capture area — and since CleanShot X records only the region you selected, the prompt can stay in plain sight without ever entering the clip.
How to Set Up
Draft the narration in FlowPrompter — for a 30-second clip that is usually just a few sentences
Choose Record Screen in CleanShot X and drag out the capture area
Park the prompt just outside that area, or enable Window Privacy and leave it anywhere
Set a slow scroll speed; short clips read better at a calm pace
Record, narrate in one pass, and share the clip straight from CleanShot X
Pro Tips
- 💡CleanShot X captures a selected region — anything outside it is never recorded, so the prompt needs no hiding
- 💡GIF captures have no audio: use the script as a storyboard so your cursor movements stay deliberate
- 💡Save recurring snippets — support replies, demo intros — as separate scripts in FlowPrompter and reuse them
- 💡Recording the entire screen instead? Window Privacy keeps the prompt out of the capture
