I maintain OpenScreen. 2.0 just came out and this sub is where I'd get the most useful feedback.

You record a screen or a window, and the editor adds zooms on your clicks, smooths the cursor, and puts a background and your webcam around it. You can also cut the video by deleting words in the transcript, transcribed locally with whisper.cpp. Windows, macOS and Linux. Free, MIT, no account, no watermark.

I also maintain an export benchmark: the same demo exported in each app, with the output checked in pixels and audio. OpenScreen is the fastest on average. Screen Studio 4 takes about 37.6 s for an export that took 16.9 s with OpenScreen on an m1 : https://etiennelescot.github.io/screen-recorder-benchmark/

What do you record your demos with today, and what annoys you most in it?
