# Record yourself presenting your slides

> Stop sharing your screen into a tiny bubble. You and your slides share one frame, in a layout you choose, and the recording lands on the timeline already laid out.

Import a PDF deck, pick a layout and record yourself talking through it. Every slide change lands on the timeline as an editable clip. Free, in your browser.

## How it works

1. **Import your deck** — A PDF (export PowerPoint or Keynote as PDF) or a set of slide images.
2. **Pick a layout and record** — Corner bubble, side by side, presenter first, stacked or slide only. Arrow keys advance, C marks a chapter, a teleprompter scrolls your notes.
3. **Edit and export** — Slides, camera and chapters are separate clips. Cut a stumble, change the layout, add captions, export.

## Why CutLuma for this

- **Looks good on camera** — Camera looks fix the lighting, blur the background and add a name tag before you hit record.
- **Chapter by chapter** — Mark chapters while you talk; each becomes its own clip you can re-order or re-record.
- **Any format** — The layouts adapt to 16:9, 9:16, 1:1 and 4:5, and re-arrange themselves when you change the format later.

## FAQ

**Is it free?**

Yes, with a free account. Optional AI captions use the AI time of the paid plans.

**Can I use PowerPoint or Keynote?**

Export the deck as PDF first; every page becomes a slide.

**Can I change the layout afterwards?**

Yes — "Present: change layout" in Ctrl+K re-applies any preset to a recording you already made.
