Kliper vs ScreenPal: record, edit and keep a reusable project
Make tutorial videos in Kliper with local captions, clip editing, separate Windows audio and portable projects. Try recording and editing free.
Kliper gives you a local recording and editing workflow for tutorials, walkthroughs and support videos. Cut the recording, add readable captions, adjust sound, and save an MP4 on your computer.
Keep the .kliper project when the video will need updates. You can reopen the edit, replace a section, and make the next version with its layers and audio still available.
Why choose Kliper for tutorials you will revise
Use one Studio timeline to combine videos, remove pauses, position text and cover private details. Mouse handles make it possible to place and resize text or images in the picture; imported image layers require Pro.
For new full-screen recordings with saved pointer data, generate editable focus zooms and click highlights. On Windows, balance the recorded microphone and computer sound separately. Preview the changes, then export a new copy.
Generate and correct captions on your computer
Kliper's optional speech tools turn the edited audio into a transcript locally after setup. Review the words, split or merge cues, and adjust their timing. Recognition is a draft to check, especially for names and numbers.
Windows setup downloads the tools and model; Mac setup uses an installed whisper.cpp CLI. You can insert up to 100 cues within the project's 120-layer limit, or save the full SRT for a longer transcript. See the caption guide for setup and editing steps.
Compare the work around the video file
| Task | Kliper | ScreenPal |
|---|---|---|
| Local work | Record and edit locally; optional tool setup needs internet. | Offline recording and editing are documented. [2] |
| Delivery | Export files to your chosen folder. | Local saving and separate sharing actions. [3] |
| Product scope | Clips, layers, captions, audio and portable .kliper projects. | Recording/editing plus hosted video, quizzes and analytics. [1] |
Local saving is available in both products. Kliper focuses on the recording, the edit and the project files you keep. It does not include hosted quizzes or viewer analytics.
Kliper Free and the one-time Pro purchase
Start with Kliper Free: record up to 30 minutes at a time, edit the recording, and export locally. Local recording and editing do not require an account. Pro is $29.99 once for up to five devices, with longer recordings, imported image layers, hidden floating controls, and optional YouTube or Google Drive uploads.

Download Kliper, record a short example, and open it in Studio. Remove a mistake, add a caption, and save an MP4. Save the editable project too if you expect another revision. The free version lets you check that workflow before buying Pro.
