I'm excited to share my indie Mac app, ShotGlass.
It's a screen recorder and screenshot tool that can make cinematic demos like this. All automatically. You just click the record button, do your thing, then you can make it 3D in the editor.
Or just enjoy smooth automatic zoom.
Why did I build it?
I was tired of jumping between four apps to make one product demo. Screenshots, recordings, annotations, and After Effects for anything cinematic.
I'd also seen the MacBook Neo commercials (recording playing on a 3D MacBook in a scene) and wondered why no screen recorder just did that.
So I made ShotGlass to do all of it: record your screen or multiple windows (and rearrange them after), take and annotate screenshots, or drop a recording onto a virtual 3D MacBook with a simulated camera lens.
Comparison:
Most screen recording apps end up with the same zoomed-in Screen Studio look. I wanted this to do something different:
I tried to make it simple to use and, for fun, themed like a glass of whisky. I'm updating it quite a lot, so I'd love your feedback and feature requests.
It can be downloaded from shotglass.app

Comparison:
Most screen recording apps end up with the same zoomed-in Screen Studio look. I wanted this to do something different:
- 3D scenes, virtual backgrounds, and a simulated camera lens for cinematic shots
- Records both screen and screenshots in one app (most tools only do one)
- Multi-window support that can be arranged after recording
- Supports adding and mixing audio and music
- Standard 2D polish too: smooth (or instant) zooms, transitions, custom cursors, camera, audio, auto-replaced desktop backgrounds
