PixelRec Pro for macOS
Photoshop Timelapse Recorder for Mac
Record the artwork in your Photoshop session without filming the rest of your Mac screen. PixelRec Pro starts capturing automatically as you work—with no per-session setup or Start click—tracks the session, and exports the process as a clean MP4.

Automatic every session
PixelRec starts capturing as you work. You do not need to rebuild a setup or click Start for every Photoshop project.
