Show HN: I built a screen recorder with automatic zoom animations for Windows

[timkonie]

Hey HN! I built Rapidemo to finally have a great screen recorder with automatic zoom effects on Windows too. I've been working on it for a few months - now I'm pretty happy with the stability, and the rendered videos look great too imho.

Hopefully it scratches an itch for some of you too!

this looks a lot like screen studio, interesting, was it too difficult to get the zoom effects?

[timkonie]

I built a custom renderer that takes in the recordings and applies the effects. It took a while to get the "feeling" just right, but I'm pretty happy with it now!

that's interesting, so track the mouse events and then apply it on top of the video? that's brilliant

Exactly! Basically everything is recorded and tracked separately but synchronized and then composed in the editor with animations etc.
