How Do I Remove the Mouse from Screen Recording?

Published in Screen Recording Editing 2 mins read

You can remove the mouse cursor from a screen recording by hiding it during specific sections using video editing software.

Here's how to typically do it:

  1. Identify the Section: Click on the timeline in your video editing software where you want to start hiding the mouse cursor.

  2. Access Hide Cursor Tool: Look for a "Hide Cursor" tool. In some software, this might be located under "Tools" or "Effects". The reference provides one example of software where this is located under "Tools" then selecting "Hide" then "Hide Cursor."

  3. Apply and Adjust: Select the "Hide Cursor" option. Usually, this will create a segment or effect that hides the cursor. You can drag the edges of this segment along the timeline to precisely control when the cursor is hidden and when it reappears.

In Summary: Most screen recording or video editing software offer tools to selectively hide the cursor during playback. Use the timeline to select the portions of the video where you don't want the cursor to be visible, and apply the 'hide cursor' effect to those sections.
