Show HN: I built a structured directory to compare AI coding tools

I would like to understand how he creates the transparent/blurry terminal overlays in front of the video. My hypothesis is that he creates two videos. First, the screen recording with alpha channels. Second, the video of him coding. He then layers them on top of each other. Any other ideas? Which screen recording software supports this kind of recording?

Hint: I think that he is not streaming the video as a wallpaper, because in some videos you can see his screen with the regular wallpaper.

I'm actually not so interested in the editing software. I think that part is doable with any modern video editing software. I'm more interested in the screen capture and how to preserve the transparency. He mentioned Cleanshot X somewhere for screen recording, but I doubt that he is using it for the recording. I tried it and it did not support the transparency that you can see in his videos.

What I'm saying is he does that with the editing software. He captures two videos (screen + camera) then in Final Cut Pro he does those effects.
