I got tired of editing videos, so I wrote a tiny web app that allows me to record uniform ready-to-publish videos for my SaaS in real-time, so creating & publishing a 5-min video only takes me about 15 minutes.
The videos look like this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rdeir2-bVA
Creating a video is simple:
- think about the subject (usually during the week)
- 5 min: copy an existing video script and edit it to match the current subject
- 5 min: record the video with OBS capturing the web output
- 5 min: publish it on FB/LI/youtube/...
It uses a simple scripting language with actions that I can trigger by pressing a button. The script has custom commands that allow you to mount HTML/overlay the webcam video/show the webcam video as a thumbnail/play music/... And you can compose commands into other commands.
Here's an example script I used for the video mentioned in the beginning:
const script:Record<string,string[]> = {
