Buyer questions

Is MotionShine a subscription?

No. MotionShine is free and every paid plan is a one-time payment. Pro includes 12 months of updates but the app keeps working after them. Pro Forever and Agency include lifetime updates.

What do I get for free?

Everything with no time limit: unlimited recordings, unlimited exports and every feature. The only limit is export size up to 720p at 30 fps. Any paid plan unlocks 1080p, 1440p, 4K and 60 fps.

Is there a watermark?

No, not even in the free version.

Can I record my Mac's own sound and webcam?

Yes. MotionShine records your microphone and your Mac's own sound together with separate volume controls. You can also record your face with your screen and position the camera bubble in the editor.

Is my data uploaded to the cloud?

No. Recording, editing, captions, voice cleanup and export all happen on your Mac. The captions tool downloads once when you first make captions and the app checks for updates, but nothing else is uploaded.
