Will CleanShot X capture the FlowPrompter prompt?

If you record a selected region and keep the prompt outside that region, CleanShot X will not capture it. For full-screen recordings, turn on Window Privacy before recording.

Why use FlowPrompter for short CleanShot X clips?

Short clips still benefit from planned wording. A few scripted sentences prevent retakes, keep support replies concise, and make bug reports easier for teammates to follow.

Can FlowPrompter help with GIF captures in CleanShot X?

Yes, even though GIFs have no audio. Use the script as a private storyboard so your cursor movements and timing stay intentional.

Integration

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
