I 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)?

#55Am I in the minority for thinking ScreenStudio is actually worth the money? The recent video I did for Cling for example ( https://lowtechguys.com/cling ) I’ve had many people ask about how I did it because it has just the right amount of motion and highlighting. I did it in a few minutes of editing in the ScreenStudio UI. I’m not saying it’s a great video, but people say it conveys the info well enough and that’s wh…
I think it's mostly just that a subscription seems weird for a tool like this. Most users would probably only need it occasionally, and with a subscription you can't just add it to your toolbox to grab when that time comes.

#56Smart 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 on…
pixijs has been great for my saas as well. rendering is blazing fast compared to ffmpeg pipelines.

There is, using QuickTime. The repo just fails to mention the benefits of this by assuming everyone knows what Screen Studio is and does.

#58Looks awesome! Super excited to try it. What are pros / cons over Cap? https://cap.so/ - also open source https://github.com/CapSoftware/cap
This one is free even for commercial usage.

After experiencing many bugs and UX oddities with both of those, I went back to ScreenStudio.
ScreenStudio is reliable and produces the best results for my use case (educational content and client updates)

Now I'm both locked in to paying every month, and can't keep using the app as it was when I bought it, because it auto updates and most apps will invariably have a server component that will quickly become incompatible with old app versions.
I hate the direction of "we'll force you to update even if you don't like the new direction, and we'll force you to pay for the privilege", so I'm voting with my wallet on this.
