How to Blur Sensitive Data in Screen Studio

When creating screen recordings with Screen Studio, you might need to protect sensitive information like email addresses, personal details, or confidential data. While Screen Studio is great at producing beautiful screen captures, it currently doesn’t include a built-in feature to blur or mask sensitive content.

The good news is that the Screen Studio team has acknowledged this need and confirmed that a masking feature is on their development roadmap. This means we can expect native blur capabilities in a future update, which will make the process easier.

For now, there’s a simple workaround to mask your sensitive data. After recording your video in Screen Studio, you can export it and use any video editor of your choice to add blur effects where needed. Popular options include Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, or even free alternatives like OpenShot or DaVinci Resolve.

With Borumi, you can first outline your video's structure in the built-in script editor, which is similar to Notion and Google Docs. You can then record each scene separately, retrying as many times as needed. Borumi allows you to capture your camera, screen, and microphone—even multiple sources simultaneously. After recording, you can easily edit your video in the built-in editor, trimming clips and adding attractive layouts and effects.
