Main Interface

Vida has three primary tabs.

Record

Use this tab to configure and start recordings. It contains:

  • Primary Start Recording button, fixed at the top of the Record screen so it remains visible while setup sections scroll.
  • Timer / auto-stop controls.
  • File name field.
  • Recording mode selector.
  • Display selector for Screen + Audio.
  • Collapsible Audio, Quality, and Format sections with current selections shown on the right while collapsed.
  • Save location selector.

During active recording, Vida keeps you on this tab and hides settings that should not change mid-recording.

Recent

Use this tab to find completed recordings. You can:

  • Open a recording.
  • Reveal it in Finder.
  • Remove it from the list.
  • Refresh the list to clear missing files.

Removing an item from Recent does not delete the recording file.

Settings

Use this tab to set defaults for future recordings:

  • Default mode.
  • Default quality.
  • Video and audio formats.
  • Countdown duration.
  • Save location.
  • Audio defaults.
  • Permission status.
  • Advanced frame rate, codec, and resolution options.
