Facecast gives your hands keys for the things that change during a take.

Colours are Alt with 1 to 8. Ink is drawn into the recording. On a slide, a PDF page or a document the ink belongs to the content, so each page keeps its own.

Screenshots#

S captures the frame, Shift with S the content alone. Shots go into a tray during the take and a gallery after it. You can download one or all as a zip, caption them and star the ones that matter. "End with a summary" closes the take with a card of its screenshots.

Other keys#

M mutes, and ? shows every key.
