Just a note that your front page doesn't look great when using dark mode on Firefox Android (in particular the stabby 't' disappears into the background leaving "Screenshots that sick out" which is quite funny but not what you were going for!).

it doesn't look good with dark mode in regular firefox either

Tip for getting good quality website screenshots for presentations from Chrome: - Open developer tools. - Activate the device toolbar. - Set the DPR to 3 and make sure the screen is the width you want to capture. - Press cmd/ctrl-shift-P to bring up the command popup - Type 'screeenshot' and select one of the screenshot options - area, fullsize, node, or just plain screenshot to capture the viewport. Result: high res…

Does anyone know tools that can capture high quality screen recordings from a browser session? Thinking about the type of video that has lots of dramatic pans and zooms + smooth cursor movement used in marketing videos. I feel like I came across a tool that could do this but can’t find it now / might have been my imagination.

I wish there were an option to export a video like the example on the homepage (with some ability to control the camera path). I'd love to be able to use it to make a promotional video for a developer tool similar to the announcement video for the Windows Terminal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8gw0rXPMMPE

I was just thinking the same thing and commented up in the thread. let me know if you come across anything like this!

Shameless plug for https://screenrun.app/ which makes it super easy to create video out of screenshots

I like it! Do you have any examples where it can animate between different screenshots or a video? I think something like that would be super popular.

If you're on a Mac, you can just use QuickTime Player.

  File -> New Screen Recording
I think it does pretty well with movement on the screen. Just remember that "stop" is Cmd-Ctrl-Esc!

This sounded like way too much work, but for some reason I tried it.

Then I realized I don't know what DPR is.

Or what the device toolbar is (is it the device button you push to emulate different devices?).

And ctrl-shift-P didn't do anything.

Ah well.

I'd pay for one-time pro features. I don't want a subscription, but I'm willing to pay to use this service a few times a year maybe. There are probably more like me. Maybe sell 10 pro edits or something like that?

I think this would be a tough one. FWIW, I think your question highlights a great example of why so many companies don't offer the pricing you want, even though it's probably true that the majority of users would prefer this pricing. My bet is that selling "10 pro edits or something like that" would nearly completely cannibalize any subscription sales. Thus, I think OP is probably likely to make a lot more money by o…

I see where you're coming from, and I don't really have the market experience to argue with you.

In my case 10 pro edits would be way too much, it could expire at the end of the year too, to make it even more profitable. First of all it would be more expensive than one month of subscription, and second of all they would expire.

But a person like me who sucks at graphic design would still be willing to fork over like 10 bucks for 10 pro edits even if I only use a few of them.

Because once that rare moment comes where I want this, I really want it!

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Took me 2 scrolls to find an image probably generated by your tool. https://www.tek.no/nyheter/nyhet/i/KnWn0G/ai-flause-for-goog... You probably should make a personal account which limits the amount of images you can generate a month (10?) and a business account which offers unlimited generation but for a steep price.

Or maybe allow free usage with an added watermark. So that people can try it out on their own screenshot, eventually distribute them internally, and pay when they need to remove the watermark for public distribution.

I think that's how the SD basic tool works.

With all due and sincere respect to mikaelaast's effort and ambition, I can't believe we're at a point where the implementation of an image filter can ask for a automatically renewing $5 per month subscription and nobody blinks. We used to blink, didn't we?

At this point I believe that this is only a snowflake on an enormous iceberg of opportunities that we are missing, because “come on, everyone could open a shell and ”. It’s probably a trillions dollars industry that doesn’t exist due to professional deformation and being conditioned to sit and work for someone else’s profit.
