Record process

Record process records the drawing process live directly from the canvas and downloads it as a .webm video file. It is ideal for showing how an idea takes shape step by step or for sharing a time-lapse clip.

Record process: recording indicator and Stop button

In the bottom toolbar, More tools (⋯) → Record process.

  1. Select More tools → Record process. Recording starts.
  2. While recording, a red indicator and a Stop button appear at the bottom center.
  3. Do your drawing; only the canvas is recorded (not the toolbars or menus), so you get a clean clip.
  4. When you press Stop, the video is downloaded with the name cizim-<date>.webm.
  • It records clearly with a high bitrate; the preferred codec is VP9, falling back to VP8 if unsupported.
  • If your browser does not support recording, the menu item appears disabled.
  • If you need an animated GIF, record it as WebM and convert it with a tool (e.g. ffmpeg -i cizim.webm cizim.gif).
