Screen recording

Radon IDE has access to what is happening on the device preview screen. It allows you to take screenshots and record the screen.

Capture a screenshot

Click the screenshot button to capture what's currently visible on the device preview.

The IDE will open a file dialog to choose where to save the screenshot. The screenshot will be saved as .png file.

Screen recording

To start screen recording click the screen recording button in the top-right corner of the Radon IDE panel.

A recording indicator appears in the top-right corner of the device preview. Clicking on the indicator stops the recording. Radon IDE will prompt you to choose where to save the recording. The screen recording will be saved as a .mp4 file.

When Show Touches is enabled, touch interactions are included in the recording. Radon IDE can capture recording up to 10 minutes.

Replays

Replays automatically capture the last few seconds of what was happening on the device preview. This allows you to review recent interactions after they occur, go through the recording frame by frame, or save the replay as a file.

Enabling replays

Enable the Enable replays option in device settings to activate the Replay feature.

A new button will appear in the top-right corner of the IDE panel.

Using Replays

Click the Replay button to view the last 5/10/30 seconds of screen activity.

Replay options

The replay overlay provides the following controls:

  1. Replay length - Select recording duration: 5s, 10s, 30s, or full length
  2. Play/Pause button - Control playback (Space).
  3. Seekbar - Navigate to specific timestamps.
  4. Previous frame - Step backward one frame (Left Arrow). Use Shift + Left Arrow to step backward 10 frames.
  5. Next frame - Step forward one frame (Right Arrow). Use Shift + Right Arrow to step forward 10 frames.
  6. Save replay - Export the recording to file (Ctrl + S/Cmd + S).
