OpenScreen edits a screen recording with one click per change

A short tour of the OpenScreen editor: a recorded app demo gets a new background in one click, a sentence deleted from the transcript is cut from the video, and an edit is typed into the built-in chat.

Why it's here

A reference for what OpenScreen can make. The creator links the repo in the post itself. We checked the link: github.com/getopenscreen/openscreen.

Make one like it

  1. Open the OpenScreen page and follow the install steps.
  2. Describe the video you want in plain words: subject, length, mood, music.
  3. Let the agent render it, then ask for changes (pacing, colours, text) until it looks right.

Video transitions written from one sentence each

Each cut in this edit was described in plain words, like "shatter it like glass" or "bubbles that pop into the next shot", and the agent wrote the effect for OpenScreen.
