A little help, when you need it.
Start here for recording, editing, exports and purchases.
Start with an example
Open Clipvera and choose Explore an example, or File → Open Example Project. This creates a new editable copy with original illustrated content. Select clips, zooms, masks or captions on the timeline to explore their settings.
Install and get started
Clipvera is being prepared for the Mac App Store and requires macOS 15 or later. Once released, install it from the official store link on this website. Choose Start a recording, select your source, and enable only the inputs you want to record.
Screen and window access
Use the macOS source picker to select the intended screen or window. For an area, select the display and set the region before recording. If permission is missing, review Clipvera under System Settings → Privacy & Security → Screen & System Audio Recording. The label may differ by macOS version. Reopen Clipvera if macOS requests it.
Camera, microphone and system audio
Check the selected devices, their privacy permissions, and whether another app is using them. Open the laptop lid when using its built-in camera. Make a short test recording with speech or another clear sound, play it back, and confirm each intended source can be heard before an important recording. Virtual audio devices and disconnected interfaces can change the available input format.
System audio records sound from the selected source as supported by macOS. Protected media may be unavailable. Test a short recording before recording a long session.
Exports and notifications
Choose Export, select the format, size and frame rate, then choose a file destination. Keep the Clipvera process running until export finishes. You may work in another app or minimise the window. Enable Notifications from the export panel or Clipvera Settings if you want a completion alert.
If export fails, keep the project, check free space and access to the destination, and try again. Exporting at a high frame rate cannot restore detail absent from the recording.
Recover an interrupted recording
Open the projects panel and review unfinished recordings. Recovery uses readable material already present in the project and keeps the original files. A power loss or unavailable device can leave a track incomplete; recovery cannot guarantee that unwritten media can be restored.
Purchases and Restore Purchases
Open Clipvera Pro and choose Restore Purchases. Use the Apple Account used for the original App Store purchase. A valid active subscription or Lifetime purchase unlocks the same Pro features. If a purchase is pending or Apple cannot verify it, complete or resolve it with Apple first.
See subscription and Lifetime details. For billing changes, use Apple subscription management. Refund requests go through Apple.
