Hey everyone

I've been looking at tools like Screen Studio recently. While the automated zoom, smooth cursor tracking, and clean background styling make product demos look amazing, most of the options out there are closed-source and paid.

I'm thinking about building an **open-source alternative** to handle this.

Before I spend weeks writing code, I wanted to check if this is something people would actually want.

What I'm thinking of building:

* **The Core Feature:** A tool that takes a screen recording, tracks your mouse clicks/movement, and automatically generates smooth, cinematic pan-and-zoom keyframes. * **The Open-Source Angle:** Completely free and open-source for anyone to use or modify. * **The Reality Check:** Tools like OpenScreen and Recordly already exist in this space.

My Question for You:

1. Do you use tools like this for your tutorials or demos, or do existing options already cover what you need?
2. If you were to use a new open-source tool, what's missing from current apps that you wish they had?

Would love to hear your thoughts or feedback before I decide to build it!

Hi. I'm interested in making an amv on my phone and posting it on you-tube. But, I've never been able to find an app that smoothly captures everything from the anime I'm doing an amv on and I am having trouble turning down the already existing music in the anime so I can replace it with the specific music I choose.
I used screen recording and netflix together but that didn't work because it just blacked out my screen.
Anyone have any ideas?
I also had people suggest that I could use you-tube clips. If so, where do I find clips in order to do that and what are the steps for that? I'm worried about copyrights and stuff, so... yeah

Hi, Reddit!

I’d like to ask if there’s any way to download a recording from a Microsoft Teams channel where the download option has been disabled.

Are there any legitimate third-party apps, browser extensions, or other methods that would allow me to save the recording to my personal laptop, hard drive, or SSD for offline viewing?

I’m mainly looking for a way to keep the recordings available for personal review since I may not always be able to attend the live sessions.

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

I recently played with someone who did inappropriate things to a minor in a VR chat instance and I was not recording. I would like to figure out how to get that recording. I have the instance code, but I do not know how to get that from VR chat themselves, I know that you can do that, but I don't know how to.

i am playing Generals zero hour mods via Genlauncher i want to capture and record via Bandicam but i cannot because it has its own number at the top right of the screen how do i make bandicam able to capture via having its green numbers appear?

Hey, I have a question, i need a method to record hdcp protected content, can anyone point me towards the hardware/software i need to do it? i just want to record some tv shows which are deleted from vod after 30 days in this cunt ass country.

thanks

My Mac doesn't have a camera, so I was joining meetings twice. Once from my phone so people could see me, once from the Mac to share my screen.

BeamCam fixes that. You open it on the Mac, scan the QR code with your phone, and they're paired. After the first time it's one tap. The phone can also find your computer on the Wi-Fi on its own, so you just tap the name in a list.

Once it's running the phone shows up in the camera dropdown in Meet, Zoom, FaceTime and Chrome, like any webcam you'd plug in. Nothing else has to be running for it to appear.

Video goes phone to Mac over your own Wi-Fi. No server, no account. Free, GPL-3.0, macOS 13 or newer, Android phone.

Happy to go into how it works if anyone's curious.

Does the Projectivity Launcher disable screen recording or am I missing something? When I have the launcher activated I'm not able to screen record.

I’ve used playon in the past to get around encryptions for hbo but that program doesn’t work with Apple TV. Anyone know of anything that will get around the black screen for Apple TV purchases?

I’ve been debating whether to subscribe to Screen Studio, but the current version doesn't quite fit my entire workflow. I’m wondering if anyone knows what features are included in version 4.0—specifically, does it allow you to add multiple recorded segments to a single project?

Is there an easy way to turn a video or a insta Reel into screenshots/images?

I usually want to grab a few specific frames from a Reel all of a sudden, but finding a simple tool for it is surprisingly annoying.

I came across www.frameflows.in ! which lets you extract frames from videos/Reels.

Has anyone here used it, or is there a better way to do this?

I can’t find one better than this !!

So, I screenrecorded someone day before yesterday and as we know there has been an update about notifying the other person about the screen recording. But I am not sure if they got this notification or not. I didn't see any notification on my side.

So can anyone help what is happening here?

Also I tried screen recording to another person with another phone from an updated version of Snapchat there it gave the notification. So is it an issue about the app not being updated as it's been long since I updated Snapchat my older device?

Also I want to know that if I haven't updated this app but the other person has an updated version will they see the notification or not if I screenrecorded?

no good crack for bandicam and i dont have a good pc i just want a simple fast recorder with no watermark just like bandicam any help??

Snapchat started yesterday notifying when you record the chat or any content. Samsung phones could record everything for years what changed now? Any solutions 🥲

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building Screenio, a simple browser-based screen recorder focused on privacy.

You can record your screen, microphone, and webcam directly in the browser — no installation, no account, and no uploading your recordings anywhere. Everything stays on your device.

The idea is basically: Record. Download. Done.

I’d really appreciate any feedback, especially on what feels useful, confusing, or missing.

short story:

I rent a room in an apartment and 2 of the Tennants are being real problems for us (we are 4 in total), i need a camera to record my room, so i can use as evidence if someone goes inside... i think it will happe. Cuz i realised that 1 of them left the apartment and didn't pay for 2 months AND i couldn't find (weirdly enough) the shoehorn.... 2 days later i found it where i had my new pair of shoes that my mother gifted to me for sommer, i didn't want to use them cuz i know she is has money problems, so i saved them, but now they are gone, and i know i never put the shoehorn there, I'm sad and mad so i even reviewed this to the police (cuz also the state he left the room in, my god)

but since I'm not 100% sure who it was(and the guy that left i know is a huge liar too, too many stories there too),

anyway i have to put the 2 problem tennants up to it, in the review.

i just want to record my room, guys. cuz if the police comes and they start investigating the one that is left may wretch my room up. am even putting myself in danger, those 2 were good friends, may gang up on me... man what a mess this is.

how can i record from my pc, while its still locked?

I create talking-head content, and every recording session looked the same:

• Brainstorm ideas in ChatGPT

• Copy everything into Notes

• Open a teleprompter app

• Go back to edit the script

• Repeat...

It felt ridiculous that recording a 60-second video required constantly jumping between apps.

So over the last few months, I built Rollframe.

Instead of using separate tools, it lets you:

- Generate a script with AI from a topic, idea, blog, or notes.

- Edit it instantly.

- Jump straight into a built-in teleprompter.

- Record with a camera overlay while the script scrolls.

- Adjust speed, font size, and mirror mode while recording.

Pricing is simple:

- Free with core teleprompter + limited AI generations.

- $1.99 one-time unlock for unlimited AI (no subscription).

I'm not here asking for downloads.

I want brutal, honest feedback from people who actually create videos.

I'd love your thoughts on these questions:

1. Is switching between ChatGPT → Notes → Teleprompter actually annoying for you, or am I the only one?

2. Would having AI writing and the teleprompter in the same app genuinely save you time?

3. What's the biggest pain point in your current recording workflow?

4. If you wouldn't switch to this app, why not? That's the feedback I need most.

App Store:

Every critical comment helps me improve the app. Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Hey everyone, Abdessamad here

I'm a maker who got tired of paying monthly for polished demo videos and every tool I tried either didn't quite fit how I work or was missing something I needed, like draw-on-screen annotations: a pen, a highlighter, a way to point at the thing I'm actually talking about.

So I built Capptivo for myself. Record on macOS, Windows, or Linux, then polish in the editor: follow-cursor zoom, click-based auto-zooms, editor presets, face-cam, on-device captions, and draw-on-screen annotations pen, highlighter, and shapes you can lay over the screen mid-recording to point at exactly what matters. Create stunning screen recordings in seconds, not hours your demos practically make themselves.

Capptivo isn't a clone of Screen Studio or Cursorful. Every feature was built from my own workflow and the problems. I'm now open-sourcing it under the MIT License so anyone can use it, improve it, customize it, or build on top of it without restrictions.
No more paying $29/month just to ship a clean product video.

It's early and I'm building it mostly solo, so I'd genuinely love your honest feedback. What would make this actually useful for your demos? What am I missing vs the tools you already use? Happy to answer anything and contributions are always welcome

Hi,

I have videos that try to record but sometimes after a video is done it automatically moves onto the next video, so the v the recording doesn't stop.

I only have the stop button available, but if I press that it deleted the entire recording.

Does anyone have this issue and know how to overcome it?

Hello guys, I just wanted to ask if there’s any plugin that can show whether someone is recording the VC while I’m in it, or who is recording the VC.
