I built an app to turn plain screen recordings into stunning demo/promo videos automatically⚡

Hey guys,

For the past 3 months, I’ve been making a screen recording app with auto-editing features. It’s built for everyone (including me) who’s got no video editing skills to create captivating tutorial, promo, sales, and demo videos in minutes.

As a startup team, we know the struggle of needing high-quality product videos without breaking the bank. Hiring a professional can cost hundreds of 💲💲💲 for each video, and creating a just-so-so video ourselves consumes precious hours. It’s a huge cost for us, either in terms of money or time.

That’s why we built FocuSee (https://gemoo.com/focusee/), hoping to make post-production easier, smoother, and as friendly as possible for non-professionals.

How it works?

  • Simply record your screen (with webcam and mic) as you usually do
  • FocuSee automatically adds pan & zoom effects, and a nice background. So once finishing recording, you'll have a video ready to shine
  • Export it as video/GIF locally, share it via a link, or embed it anywhere
  • You can even add in-video quizzes, forms, and call-to-action buttons to generate leads or get feedback more efficiently. (This feature is available for videos shared online)

Also, you can make personalized adjustments easily:

  • Add extra highlights to focal points with Spotlight to draw the audience's attention
  • Choose the selfie and screen layout based on your use case: side-by-side, overlay, or screen-only
  • Pick from 8 mouse cursor styles and 3 button click effects to match your video's style
  • Change the background, rounded corners, shadow, inset, and padding as you like
  • And more…

We're offering a free trial for both Windows and Mac, with which you can explore all features and export one watermarked video for free. Your feedback is gold to us, and we'd be highly grateful for your insights. 🙏

If you find FocuSee useful, I’d love to offer you an additional 30% off exclusive discount on top of our current early bird offer, as a reward for your support!

    Great job launching this! I just launched my own start up this week centered around AI interview prep and am creating content for it so will take a look at this!

      Thanks Luca! Please let me know your thoughts after using FocuSee.

    Nice work. I'm curious, how does it differ from tella.tv?

      Thanks for asking Alex. As far as I know, Tella is more of a video editor with a screen recording tool, while FocuSee is a screen recording tool with auto and easy-to-adjust editing features. This means you can get an auto-polished video without doing any manual editing. And, FocuSee is focused on polishing screen recording to turn it into a ready-to-use video. So it's less powerful in editing than Tella, but more time and effort saving for indie hackers to create a stunning demo video with in-video forms to boost MVP validation.

      Just let me know if you've got any further concerns. 😉

    That looks very promising! I used to be a video editor but now that I no longer use professional software I struggle to find a simple and comprehensive tool to occasionally edit my video. I will have a try!

      Thank you! Please do let me know your thoughts on it. Insights from a professional like you are valuable to us!🍻

    This sounds amazing! I've been struggling with video editing for a while, so FocuSee seems like a game-changer. The fact that it's designed for non-professionals is a huge plus. I can't wait to give it a try and see how it simplifies the process. Kudos to your team for creating such a user-friendly tool. Looking forward to exploring it further! 🚀🎥

      Thank you so much for your nice words Ari! Yeah, I've been there too. Plz feel free to play around with Focusee, and do let me know your feedback. If you're interested in using it for recording more videos, I'd love to offer you an additional 30% off exclusive discount. :)

    This product is awesome. I usually spend a few days to turn the screen recordings into something eye-catching using ffmpeg CLI.
    Does FocuSee support adding some predefined videos at the beginning and at the end? For example, I start my demo videos with 5 seconds video clip with logo animation and in the end I add some kind of credits.

    Updated: Just got my first customer! Thank you so much for your support guys! 🙌

    Do let me know if you're interested in FocuSee! I'd love to offer 30% off exclusive offer for IHers here! 🤜
