Show HN: Hackreels – Animate your code in HD
I do quite a lot of this kind of stuff for my job. Some context that may be useful.
Often the full IDE is needed. I record a lot of gifs of VSCode, where part of the gif is typing code, part is interacting with the rest of the IDE / terminal - perhaps to run the code and view the output.
For me the killer app would be one which could pre-record keystrokes (and maybe mouse actions) so that I could do them error free. I often attempt a gif 10 times before I'm happy with the outcome.
I don't personally love the transition animation. I would want the option for something that seems like it's being typed.
The closest tools I've found are:
Typewriter VSCode extesion: Allows you to copy text and then "types" it out for you. https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=dansilve...
Ascii Cinema: https://asciinema.org/
- Short form video
-
Rsh: Ruby SHell
but it seems pretty popular for this kind of screen recording.

VHS: CLI Home Video Recorder
I wrote a blog post[1] breaking down tools to record terminal sessions just a couple weeks ago. I wasn't aware of this particular one but it looks like it's going to have issues with recording anything that requires user input.
My post describes how to make high quality recordings of terminal sessions that can be replayed in the terminal, or shared on the web. I'm defining high quality as recordings with zero typos, and relatively controlled timing between commands.
I'm going to assume this works well because all the stuff from Charm seems to, BUT its limitations are ... problematic. I think the techniques i list in the post combined with agg[2] or gifcast[3] to covert it to a gif would be a better solution for non-trivial cases.
I'll add notes about agg and gifcast to the post this evening hopefully.
