How to record a bug report with Director
-
Pick the screen with the bug
Reproduce the bug once so you know the steps. Then click Choose what to record and pick that screen. Turn on your microphone if you want to say what you expected and what happened.
-
Record the steps
Press CtrlAltP and walk through the steps slowly, from the starting state. Director shrinks to a small monitor in the corner and stays out of the video.
-
Point at the moment it breaks
CtrlAltS dims everything except the area around your cursor, so the error stands out, and CtrlAltD turns it off. CtrlAltZ zooms in on a small error message. CtrlAltN drops a marker right when it breaks.
-
Stop and attach the MP4
Press CtrlAltP again. The MP4 is saved in your Videos folder, and your markers are listed with their timestamps, so you can write "breaks at 01:12" in the ticket next to the written steps.

01 Why record a video for a bug report?
A short video shows the exact steps, the state before the bug and what went wrong, which is often faster to understand than a long description. Keep the written steps in the ticket too, so people can search for it.
02 How do I point at the exact moment the bug happens?
Press Ctrl+Alt+S to spotlight the error and Ctrl+Alt+N to drop a marker. When you stop, Director lists the marker with its timestamp, so you can add it to the ticket.
03 Can I use it for code reviews?
Yes. Record the screen with your editor or the pull request, zoom in on the line you are talking about with Ctrl+Alt+Z, and pin the zoom with Ctrl+Alt+G while you scroll or type.
04 Does Director upload the video or make a link?
No. Director saves an MP4 in your Videos folder on your PC. You attach that file to the ticket, the issue or the message, wherever your team already works.
05 When can I try Director?
Director is in private testing on Windows 10 and 11. Join the waitlist and we'll email you as soon as it's ready for you to try. Pricing isn't set yet, and people on the waitlist hear about it first.
