Selecting the Cursor Style for Recording

When you shoot a movie, you can tell Mimic to record your movements and automatically display the cursor and its trajectory on each frame (see Adding Cursors Automatically). Unless you specify otherwise, the default cursor style is used.

Before you begin recording a movie, you can select the style to be used for the automatic cursors. You can select a factory style or you can select a style from any of your palettes.
