Home / 4K timelapse recording

Record your art as a 4K timelapse

Limner records your whole process as you paint, at up to 4K, and keeps the timelapse inside your document. No screen recorder, no separate app.

How it works

• Recording runs while you work and captures the full session at up to 4K.
• The timelapse lives inside the .limner file and resumes across sessions, so a piece drawn over days becomes one continuous video.
• It is hardware encoded, with a CPU fallback, so most machines can record without slowing down.
• Export with speed control and an end-card hold, and make social crops sized for where you post.

Good for sharing and proof of work

Process videos are some of the most shareable art content, and they show a piece is hand-made. Limner makes one every time you draw, with no extra setup.

Formats

Timelapse exports to MP4. Still art exports to PNG, JPEG, layered PSD, and SVG, and animation projects export GIF and MP4.

Common questions

Do I need a separate screen recorder?

No. Timelapse recording is built into Limner and captures your process automatically while you paint.

What resolution can it record?

Up to 4K. The timelapse is hardware encoded with a CPU fallback so most machines can record smoothly.

Where is the timelapse saved?

Inside your .limner document, and it resumes across sessions. You export it to MP4 when you are ready.
