Why are you, as a founder, still making ugly ass screen recordings? This took 4 minutes.

Someone buried a 150lb chest with $10,001 of cash, somewhere within 7 miles of SF's city hall. This is the only clue. Go find it!

We built the best screen recorder for eye-catching software demos. 5 minutes to turn a screen recording into this:

How do people make those cool videos when they launch an app? Is there a tool for that, or do they just edit them manually?

Everyone's too scared to tell you, but your screen recordings look like shit. Even your mom, who smiles politely, thinks, "Really? Again with the Loom slop?" It's time to step it up, founder. Add cinematic lens blur to your demo videos in 2 min:

Fair, if you're happy with the corolla, you don't need the ferrari haha But to be clear, if you're comparing against some earlier SS lifetime deal you bought, our base plan is actually 2X more ($59 vs $29 / mo), annual is ~4.4X more ($40 v $9). Still experimenting, but that's where it sits atm. We do also have a free plan w/ free watermarked exports whereas they block exports until you pay, and we have an (even more expensive! 😱) team plan that lets you save projects, brand kits, templates to the cloud. Apples to oranges though, not trying to replace simple recorders or chase them on price. We replace a whole host of editing tools people usually stitch together. 3D effects is just one feature on the list:

Initial public nationalization™
Tenobrus@tenobrus

maybe this is not yet clear, so let me state it plainly: as of right now Anthropic, and really a small number of individuals at Anthropic, has the capacity to directly attack and cause major damage to the United States Government, China, and generally global superpowers. government agencies like the NSA do not have internal models or defense capabilities that outclass frontier models. if they chose to do so, they could likely exfiltrate top secret information from government systems, gain control over critical infrastructure including military infrastructure, sabotage or modify communications between members of government at the highest level, and potentially carry on activities for some time without detection. the thing about having access to a huge number of zerodays your adversaries don't know about is it gives you a massive asymmetric advantage. they did not exploit this to gain power or destabilize the world order. they publicly released the information that they had these capabilities and worked to mitigate these flaws. you should be grateful american frontier labs have proven themselves remarkably trustworthy and concerned with the public good. but it's critical you understand we are in a new regime. private entities now have power that directly rivals and impacts the government's monopoly on influence and violence. and anthropic is certainly not the only one, there's little chance OpenAI's internal models are far behind. this trend will accelerate on virtually every dimension, not slow down. my prediction for how it plays out is the relatively imminent seizure and nationalization of labs by the US government, sometime over the next two years. it's very tough for me to see how they accept the existence of this kind of threat. but this adds a whole new class of governance issues, as then we've handed these extremely wide-reaching capabilities from private entities to public ones.

@DerekFeehrer kite.video isn't working on Zen Browser, just a white screen with console errors. Also, you don't use Sentry or similar, since I don't see any error tracking requests. It's extremely laggy on Chrome too. And no Windows support 💀

If you're still rawdogging 5-minute Loom videos for your product launches, just give up now. You can turn screen recordings into beautiful, engaging videos in 10 minutes–with one tool.

@DerekFeehrer What's the tool? I'm drowning in product demo recordings that look like they were made in 2015 but need something that actually works without requiring a design degree to operate.

@ethansteininger I'm curious actually, when you tried it, did you start from one of the example video templates or from scratch?
