#32Does this have any advantages over OBS Studio?
Yes. For me personally, I am only interested in creating short demo videos in as little time as possible. OBS is an advanced software that requires me to learn to use it.
I just downloaded this and had a zoom effect video from the first attempt. The learning curve is roughly zero.

#33I see that this is for MacOS. Isn't there a stock feature for screen recording, like on the iPhone, or on Windows (snipping tool can do screen recordings since Windows 10 or 11)?

#34I'd rather have the metadata from click and typing events and use that to create a davinci project...

#35I've been using this for the past month or so and have had nothing but positive experience. It's easy to use and works well. I wish the zoom was a slider instead of preset options, that way I could get finer control. Easily one of the best apps I found recently along with Handy.computer.

#36Also checkout https://screenix.studio/ if you're on Linux
I just tried Open Screen but it didn't work on my machine (Cachy OS) - it didn't detect the screen or my microphone. Hopefully it gets better

#37Does this have any advantages over OBS Studio?
It's the automatic zooming animations. I've not found any OBS scripts that can do this?

#38Smart choice using PixiJS for the rendering pipeline — WebGL gives you hardware-accelerated compositing for the zoom/pan effects without needing to shell out to ffmpeg for every preview frame. The auto-zoom feature alone makes this worth it for anyone doing quick product demos where you'd otherwise spend 20 minutes keyframing in a full NLE. Would love to see cursor click highlighting land at some point, that's the one Screen Studio feature I actually miss.

#39That's pretty cool!
Btw, it seems that "How trimming works" screen has some missing translations.

#40Curious how this compares to Recordly ( https://recordly.dev )
It seems Recordly is a fork of OpenScreen with some native MacOS features. Interesting post here https://www.reddit.com/r/software/s/bAvNP3WjgT
