what is new in this tool?
this-is-shreya•1h ago
Good question! RookieClip focuses on making tutorial-style recordings easier.

The Chrome extension lets you record screen and camera with background blur or replacement. After recording, you can edit in the browser with a multi-track timeline (videos, images, text, audio) and add zoom effects, transitions, and overlays without needing a separate desktop editor.

The main idea is to combine recording and lightweight editing in one workflow for tutorials and demos.

Hi HN! I'm building RookieClip, a screen recorder and video editor designed for tutorials and demos.

I've always liked tools like Screen Studio because of their automatic zoom effects that make tutorials easier to follow. But I found them a bit restrictive — for example, limited editing options and not much support for things like images or multiple media tracks.

So I started building my own tool that supports the above, and also where you can record your screen and add zoom effects later, without needing to manually keyframe everything later.

I'm still improving it and would really appreciate feedback from people who record tutorials, demos, or developer walkthroughs.

I applaud you for building this web tool. It looks like it could meet my needs very well. I'll be trying it out later today.

Thanks, really appreciate that. If you do get a chance to try it, I'd love to hear what works well and what feels missing.

Thanks, glad you liked it. I'm still improving it, so feedback is always welcome.
