Looks really solid. I built a similar product called Automagical awhile back ( https://automagical.ai/ ) that we exited to a media agency. A few notes from my experience: 1. Using gifs in this way as part of a composite video is unfortunately against giphy's ToS. We received a cease & desist from them after awhile, so just be aware of that up front. 2. If you want to support more variety in your transitions, check ou…

Thanks for the feedback, very impressive that you exited Automagical.

1. Haha oh no, I'll have to look for alternatives to Giphy then.

2. Yes i've been eyeing this for a while as the GL-transitions are really smooth, I plan to add it once I release further support for multiple screens.

Looks great, I used for a few minutes and it's very intuitive! I did try to download my video on Firefox and after waiting a few minutes I gave up, maybe you got an error in your tracker?

Thanks! The video transformations can be a bit time-consuming (especially right now as there is quite a bit of traffic from hackernews) - I'll add a proper loader so you can see how much time is remaining. Admittedly I haven't tested much with firefox, i'll check if there is an issue with the download itself.

I've been dragging my heels on doing a new demo video for my company - going to try this out first thing Monday. Thanks, @oskarahl!

Couple things I'll be looking into:

* the zooming looks awesome

* how easy it is to insert title cards or subtitles

* I don't think I need the borders, so it'd be good if those are optional.

That seems silly, as I don’t think they own/have a license to any of their GIFs.

Hey oskarahl, as a solo dev working on https://ente.io, I was looking for something just like this!

The MVP imo is the ability to zoom.

What I'd kill for is the ability to add text widgets to point out/explain features.

Thanks for building this, and congratulations for launching. All the best!

Are there an pre-set dimensions/settings for iPhone apps? What I'd really like is just easy exporting of all screenshots and the video thumbnail. I know there's a lot of tools that do this already but there's always room for new effects/styles. Thanks

Thanks! Yes sliding in texts / headers / annotations are on the upcoming features list. Any specific kind of text widgets that you are thinking of?

That's awesome let me know how it goes. The border can be removed by pressing the "undo" button (perhaps the ui/ux for this could be a bit clearer - i'll see what I can do).

Currently no title/subtitle support yet (outside of the intro scene), but it's something i'll start working on asap as it's been requested by quite a few users already.
