How to Record Videos Longer Than 10 Minutes in Screen Studio
Screen Studio sets a 10-minute limit on videos uploaded to their cloud service. This means when you share a video through a Screen Studio link, you can’t exceed this duration.
If you choose to export your videos without using Screen Studio’s cloud service, there’s no set time limit. However, you’ll need to consider your available storage space, as Screen Studio recordings can take up significant space on your device.
How to record longer recordings
Before starting a long recording session, check your device’s available storage space. Running out of storage mid-recording can lead to lost footage.
The key to successful long recordings in Screen Studio is breaking them into smaller segments. This approach not only helps manage file sizes but also reduces the risk of stability issues that could cause you to lose your entire recording.
Tips for Recording Long Videos in Screen Studio
Here’s a practical approach to creating longer videos:
Split your content into manageable segments of 10 minutes or less
Record each segment as a separate Screen Studio project
Use a reliable video editor to combine these segments into your final video
This method gives you better control over your recording process and provides a safety net against potential technical issues, but it’s not very user-friendly.

Easier management of long-form content

Automatic clip combining saves time in post-production
