screenstudio-alt — an open-source headless Screen Studio alternative (Claude Code skill): auto-zoom, idle speed-up, vertical export.

*A headless, open-source [Screen Studio](https://screen.studio) alternative — turn a raw screen recording into a polished demo from the command line (or your coding agent).*

You record your screen as usual. screenstudio-alt does the rest — **auto-zoom on clicks, fast-forward of idle time, keystroke chips, a smoothed cursor, and 9:16 vertical export** — then hands you an mp4 (or an FCPXML for Resolve / Final Cut / Premiere). No GUI to click through, no subscription.

*The editor: a raw recording (the "Run" button + search box) auto-zoomed on clicks, idle time fast-forwarded (8×), and keystrokes (`hello_demo!`) rendered as chips — all detected automatically, then tweakable on the timeline.*

## What it does

- 🔍 **Auto-zoom** onto clicks and typing bursts — eased, and crisp (re-samples the original frames, so zooms stay sharp)
- ⏩ **Idle speed-up** — dead time is compressed automatically; a playing animation is never sped up
- ⌨️ **Keystroke chips** rendered like real typing
- 🖱️ **Smoothed cursor** + click ripple + a real click sound
- 🏷️ **Text callouts** — screen-fixed labels that auto-flip light/dark to stay legible on any background and sit at the edges, off your content
- 📱 **9:16 vertical** that follows the action — plus 16:9 / 1:1
