Rationale
Descript is a strong match for the FocuSee concept. It explicitly offers screen recording, multi-source recording (screen, camera, voice), automatic transcription which leads to automatic subtitle generation, and various AI-powered editing tools that automate tasks. While it doesn't explicitly mention 'automatic cursor tracking and dynamic zoom' as a dedicated feature, it does offer 'zooms' and 'pans' as part of its editing capabilities for tutorials, which is a similar function. It also provides instant sharing/export, customizable layouts, basic editing tools, transitions, audio enhancements (Studio Sound, remove filler words), branding options, and multi-language subtitle/dubbing support. The core value proposition of simplifying video creation for creators and educators aligns well.
