What do you use to record coding tutorials that stay readable?

I record coding tutorials and keep hitting the same wall: the editor text that looks fine on my monitor is illegible in the video. OBS records faithfully but that's the problem — it records everything flat, no emphasis. Loom is capped at 5 minutes on free now. Manually adding zooms in an editor works but it doubles the time per video.

For devs who record tutorials: what's your setup? Do you bump the font size and record at 1080p, add zooms in post, or use a recorder that zooms automatically while you record?

Disclosure: I build one of those — AutoZoom, which auto-zooms into clicks and typing as you record. If any tutorial-maker here wants to test it, Pro is free for you: https://az.happybap.abrdns.com/az/
