Solid tool, some room for improvement
Layerpath is a robust tool that can significantly enhance the way you present and document your software.

The tool captures your screen interactions and translates them into a guided tour with animated dots and prompts. This feature is particularly useful for onboarding new users or demonstrating complex software functionalities. The ability to customize prompts and tooltips ensures that the tour is both informative and engaging.
For those who prefer a more static approach, Layerpath offers the ability to create detailed step-by-step guides. These guides come with animated boxes and text instructions, making it easy for users to follow along. The interface is intuitive, allowing for quick adjustments and edits to ensure the guide is accurate and clear.
Layerpath also provides a video creation feature that records your screen interactions. While the zooming in and out can be a bit aggressive, the tool offers options to adjust the speed and layout, giving you control over the final output.
It's a great time saver getting all three elements at the same time. Once captured you can fine tune them, edit the text and add an AI voiceover.
Tour and Guide editing is fine, I didn't enjoy the video editing, it felt sluggish when I was trying to split and delete unwanted elements (e.g. if you make a mistake).
I'd like to see options for the default video FX, e.g. being able to turn off zooms and rotates. Specifically rotates, I'm not a fan of the way they distort the screen.
Looking forward to seeing how the tool develops, it's very feature rich already and it didn't take me long to record, edit and deploy a tour on a website.
