Well done! Just tested this out and it's great but some feedback:

I couldn't successfully trim my recording. I could get into "trim mode" but couldn't figure out how to do it. That's a really important feature to me and the UX needs a lot of work there.

A feature that I always use with Screen Studio is changing the speed of clips. For example, if I'm typing in the recording, I like to speed it up super fast.

Also, I like the Cursor size/preferences (size, hide when mouse isn't moving, etc)

A feature that is missing from SS is: I can't insert title cards or my own clips. I kinda wish it took video editing to the next level and allowed me to insert other clips or title cards.

I'm still not happy with Screen Studio's pricing change.

Good luck!

Hey thank you so much for this feedback. What are your use cases for a tool like this?

Right now, there is a button with scissors on it that doesn't work. I apologize for not removing that, but I didn't think this post would even make the front page. (as an aside - I've tried several times posting this without success, but a change to the landing page much have done it)

I am definitely going to add the ability to add cards and title screens - and nice ones! I'd love for you to be a part of that conversation.

If you're willing and you have time, I'd love to connect for ongoing feedback. Like some of the other comments have surmised, I will eventually want to charge for it, and I could give you free service (I don't want to say lifetime, because I don't know what that implies, but it would effectively be lifetime or something very generous). I don't want to pretend that means to much right now - as you've stated, it needs a lot of work. But I am determined! And the features you mention are on my roadmap.

This offer extends to anyone willing to provide useful feedback over time, which would mean responding to one or two e-mails a month probably. I don't know what it looks like. I just want help. Thanks!

John, this is spectacular. I'd love to go back and forth with you on this...I've wanted something like this for a long time and I'm super impressed. Could you email me? stephen@bate-man.com.

Sent!

I removed the cut button - but trimming the start and end points still works

Also - I want to add speed up and slow down of clips
