- Windows 10 or Windows 11, x64
- Windows 10 version 2004 or newer, or Windows 11, on a 64-bit Intel or AMD PC. The installer includes the app runtime, capture helper and video tools. No Rust, Node.js or developer tools are needed.
- Mac with Apple Silicon
- M1 or later, running macOS 13 Ventura or newer. Intel Macs are not supported. Live window previews in the picker need macOS 14 or later; capture itself works on macOS 13 Ventura.
- Disk space for clips
- Clips and original footage are saved in your chosen recording folder as ordinary media files. Leave room for original segments, editor previews, exports and application updates.
- A TradeClip account
- Sign-in, licence checks and clip counting are online; recording is not. The app keeps working for up to 72 hours without a connection and tells you when it needs to go online again. 7-day free trial, no card required.
- Capture permissions
- Choose the window or display to capture in the app. On macOS, grant Screen Recording permission when prompted. Microphone and camera tracks are optional.
