I made the demo video for https://plandex.ai myself using CleanShot X ( https://cleanshot.com/ ), Adobe Premiere Pro, an effect I bought in Adobe's marketplace, some AppleScript automation, and music from SoundStripe ( https://soundstripe.com/ ). It was my first time using all these tools. It took me a couple days to make the video. Premiere is a bit of a beast, but by just asking ChatGPT how to do everything, I was…

CleanShot is also included with SetApp

Others mentioned ScreenStudio (which is awesome), but if you don't need all of its features (or can't afford it at the moment), I've found ScreenRun to be a great alternative: https://screenrun.app/

It's browser-based, but there's a Mac (and Windows I think) companion app that records the screen with click-tracking for zooming (as it's not possible with browser screen sharing just yet). It's somehow limited compared to ScreenStudio, and the interface feels cheaper compared to a native Swift app, but for my needs it gets the job done.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I record these videos for my workplace on windows. We use Loom + Davinci Resolve - it's nowhere near as smooth as screenstudio

With which of these 2 software can you do the "zoom in", "move mouse cursor", and "zoom out"?

It's done in two steps, first use loom to record the mouse movement in much higher res than needed and then use resolve to zoom, follow and frame as needed.
