What is DemoTake
DemoTake records, edits and shares product demo videos on your Mac or in the browser. A recording is a take made of scenes you can retake one at a time, and your coding agent can run the whole thing for you.
DemoTake is a screen recorder built for product demos. You plan a demo as a few short scenes, record them, let DemoTake polish the result, and export as many formats as you need. You can do all of it by hand, or ask Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or any MCP client to do it for you.
It is made by Sansavision, a division of Sansa Group AB.
A demo is a program, not a video
Most screen recorders give you one long video file. When the app changes, you record it all again.
DemoTake keeps something richer. Every recording is a take: a portable .take package with the goal, the scenes, every click, keystroke and wait, the pointer track, checkpoints, assertions, your edits and your exports. The MP4 is just one output of that take. Because DemoTake knows what happened and when, it can redo a single scene, shorten a wait without touching the click before it, or render the same take as 16:9 and 9:16.
A take is split into scenes: story beats like "Sign in" or "Create a project", each ending at a stable screen. Scenes are the unit of retry.

Record your first take walks through it in about five minutes.
What makes it different
Retake one scene, not the whole demo. Scene 4 went wrong? Retry scene 4. The other scenes keep their footage and their edits. See Retakes and checkpoints.
Edits are about events, not frames. DemoTake records a trace of what happened, so an edit can say "shorten waits longer than a second" or "hold the result two seconds longer". The recording itself is never modified, and every edit can be undone. See the command bar.
A presentation pointer and a camera that follows the story. The pointer viewers see is drawn from your actions, so it glides smoothly instead of shaking. Zooms follow the beats that matter, like filling a form or showing a result, not every click. See Camera and pointer.
Exports check themselves. Before a video is marked ready, DemoTake test-decodes every clip it uses and validates the finished file. When something fails, you get a diagnosis instead of a broken MP4. See Export checks.
Proof, not just footage. Assertions check that the right text or element was on screen. A Reviewer Pack bundles a conservative cut, a verification manifest and reviewer notes, for App Store or OAuth reviews. See Reviewer Packs.
Agents can run it. DemoTake runs a local MCP server. Your agent can plan a take, rehearse, record scene by scene, check its work, edit and export. See Connect your agent.
A good first prompt for your agent: "Record the feature we just built. Show that login works, create a project and export it. Make a clean 45-second video, hide the credentials, give me 16:9 and 9:16."
