It's amazing but can be better and improved
First of all, congrats for making such a tool without need "internet" making tutorials and explainer videos is easier now! I feel that this tool can do much more and there are a few things that would be amazing to be my all-in-one tool for recording, editing and more.
Hope the dev see this and start adding it on future updates:
1-- The hability to use web-cam or camera only. I would like sometimes to switch between the camera (I use a Sony A7C as a webcam) me talking and then a smooth animation showing the window or the actual screen. Smooth transitions.
2-- The editor shall be able to let me use certain display templates at different cuts: What I mean is that the tool has pre-built templates showing the camera and the recording screen in different positions and sizes right? when in-editor I cut a part of the video where I want a certain template or show only the screen is not possible. The templates are applied once and i can't select multiple tracks with different "templates", hope you understand.
3-- Auto Captions: Yes, like capcut but you can blend it like camtasia did with their latest update, I mean, the auto captions are very simple, you could try to add trending templates for easy of use.
4-- Can't zoom in certain edits: If I want to make a zoom "aka scaling in other programs" I can't and if I crop, using the crop tool even tho I previously made a cut to select just one part of the clip the crop applies to all the video.
5-- Undo doesn't work quite well: I made a few changes to my video, for example, the crop I mentioned above and the undo (Command + z) doesn't "undo" my crop. I need to go to crop again and select restart.
6-- Add enabling magnets to the clip and a Media folder for images/gifs/sound effects. For example would be cool to add some sound effects between transitions or zooms... I can't find the typical media section where I drop some assets. For example I want sometimes to paste some images/pngs in the timeline but i can't (for example when talking only using the webcam) and add pre-built animations like capcut for it.
7--Enable BLUR: Sometimes when you're recording your screen some personal information pop-up, like notifications, emails used, etc. Would be good to add a custom blur so the information can't be visible.
8-- Add animated backgrounds
9-- Add the option to use Border colors/Degraded effects for the camera, or use AI to auto-cut (like capcut) for example if I want to put something behind me like a text, etc...
10-- Music: I would like to add some music background (you can add a search engine for non-copyrighted background music) and use AI to auto-tune the voice.
11-- Enable cursor click animations: For example everytime I click something, show like a circle animation or something... would be nice
12-- Use AI to enable "edit silences" in video: Take a time to see how Filmora does this. Enable to see the "sound" waves and the sound bar in the tool to make such edits, but like Filmora does, you can use AI to auto-detect silences with just one click and remove it, take a look how filmora does it, it does better than capcut or any other video editing software. It uses AI on-site to perform this, try to use all the ai features with no cloud computing.
13-- Enable it for windows asap!! This tool is amazing and I would like to just use this for my videos.

Jun 19, 2024Thank you so much for your detailed feedback and suggestions for improving our tool. Your insights are invaluable as we strive to enhance both the user experience and functionality. Here is our response to each of your suggestions:
1. Using only the webcam: We will add the ability to smoothly switch between the camera and screen with animations for seamless transitions.
2. Using display templates in different sections: We are working on enabling the application of various templates to specific parts of the video during editing.
3. Automatic subtitles: We will test this feature and may include it based on the results.
4. Scaling and cropping: We will enhance the scaling and cropping tools to allow them to be applied to specific parts of the video, rather than the entire clip.
5. Undo feature: We have prioritized the improvement of the undo feature.
6. Adding GIFs and sound effects: This is currently a low priority, but we will consider your request.
7. Blur feature: We will definitely add this feature.
8. Animated backgrounds: This has minimal priority and may be added later, but we can't make any promises.
9. Colored frames and AI for background cropping: Currently a low priority.
10. Improving music and voice: This is an important feature. We will add the ability to enhance audio, including adding music and removing background noise.
11. Cursor click animation: Please clarify why this is necessary if automatic scaling is used.
12. Automatic pause removal using AI: We will review how this is implemented in Filmora and aim to improve upon it. It's important to ensure that significant moments when a person is silent but active are not removed.
13. Windows version: We plan to release a Windows version by mid-summer. Stay tuned for updates!
Thank you again for your suggestions. They help us prioritize and improve our tool. If you have more ideas or need further assistance, please feel free to reach out!
