Product Introduction
- Definition: Screentell is a browser-based screen recording and video editing SaaS tool (Software-as-a-Service) that leverages Web APIs for zero-install operation. It combines real-time screen capture, multi-track editing, and cinematic post-production in a single browser tab.
- Core Value Proposition: It eliminates complex desktop software dependencies for creators needing professional-grade tutorials, enabling studio-quality product demos with 3D effects, annotations, and privacy-first local processing entirely in the browser.
Main Features
- Cinematic 3D Transforms: Uses WebGL and Three.js to apply dynamic 3D rotations, scaling, and perspective shifts to screen recordings. Users manipulate keyframes on a timeline to create Hollywood-style motion paths, depth effects, and immersive transitions without rendering delays.
- Dual-Stream Recording Engine: Captures screen activity and webcam footage simultaneously as separate tracks. Leverages the MediaRecorder API for lossless compression, allowing independent editing of screen/camera layers post-recording (e.g., resizing face cam, adding borders).
- Vector-Based Stickers & Annotations: Offers SVG-powered hand-drawn shapes, arrows, and text bubbles with granular customization (color, border radius, opacity). Supports PNG/JPG uploads for custom stickers, all editable via a non-destructive layer system.
- Local-Only Processing: Executes all video encoding/decoding client-side using WebAssembly and IndexedDB. Ensures zero data leaves the user’s device, with exports rendered directly to MP4/WebM/GIF via the browser’s native media capabilities.
- AI-Powered Focus Tools: Automates viewer attention guidance through 2D focus zooms (adaptive cropping) and 3D focus transforms (depth-aware highlighting), driven by path-tracing algorithms that simulate camera motion.
Problems Solved
- Pain Point: Traditional tools like Camtasia or OBS require installation, platform-specific compatibility, and steep learning curves for basic edits—slowing down content creation.
- Target Audience:
- SaaS Product Managers: Creating quick feature demos with polished effects.
- EdTech Instructors: Building interactive tutorials with annotations.
- Marketing Teams: Producing social-ready clips (e.g., TikTok, YouTube Shorts) without designers.
- Support Agents: Annotating bug reports with hand-drawn cues.
- Use Cases:
- Recording software walkthroughs with 3D zoom effects to highlight UI elements.
- Editing webinar recordings to split segments, adjust speed, and overlay branded stickers.
- Converting static screen captures into animated explainers for landing pages.
Unique Advantages
- Differentiation: Unlike Loom (limited editing) or Descript (audio-focused), Screentell specializes in browser-native cinematic effects—beating desktop tools in speed and accessibility. Competitors lack real-time 3D manipulation and local-only privacy.
- Key Innovation: Patented dual-stream architecture synchronizes screen/camera tracks frame-perfectly, while Three.js integration enables complex 3D animations typically exclusive to high-end software like After Effects.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Does Screentell work on iOS or Android?
Screentell is optimized for desktop browsers (Chrome, Edge, Brave) and unsupported on mobile due to Web API limitations for screen recording. - Can I import videos from other tools into Screentell?
Yes, upload existing MP4/WebM files to leverage Screentell’s 3D effects, stickers, and cutting tools—ideal for repurposing legacy content. - How does Screentell’s lifetime license handle future updates?
Lifetime Plan buyers receive all feature upgrades permanently, including new 3D effects and export formats, with no recurring fees. - What’s the maximum resolution for exported videos?
Pro users export in 1080p HD; free tier caps at 720p. All exports use H.264 encoding for compatibility with YouTube/Social platforms. - Does Screentell support green screen removal for webcam footage?
Not currently; the camera layer supports opacity/position adjustments but lacks chroma keying. Use-cases focus on picture-in-picture overlays.
