Show HN: I couldn't find a Screen Studio alternative for Windows, so I made one (getrapidemo.com)

Hey HN!

I kept seeing those awesome animated screen recordings on X and wanted to make videos like that too. I couldn't find any good screen recorders with automatic effects for Windows, so I decided to build my own!

It currently - makes the cursor smooth - follows the cursor - zooms in on clicks - records & animates webcam - and a bunch of other stuff that's available in the editor (change background, generate subtitles, speed up video segments...)

It's a paid app but there's a free trial if you want to play around with it - I'd love to hear what you think!

PS: I'm aware of the warning when downloading / installing the app. It's because I can currently only sign the installer with an IV code signing cert. Unfortunately there isn't much I can do at the moment - apparently code signing is hard and quite gatekeep-ey.

Wow, this looks pretty full-featured. Even has an editing interface. Good job delivering!

Definitely more professional looking than the free solutions I've used in the past.

Thanks, appreciate it! I wanted to make sure to make the experience great on Windows ahead of the launch.
ClipShare on GitHub is a solid open source alternative to Loom.
