Wow, sounds a great useful tool! I will definitely give it a try ๐ Good job!
Hey @weichsel!
This looks like a super useful tool! What're the biggest changes you've made since you last launched on Product Hunt?
@calum Great question!
I'd say the main new features are:
๐ฌ Movie Import & Conversion
๐ฑ iOS Device Capturing
๐ Click Effect Visualizations
๐ Dark Mode Support (and overall better macOS integration)
Initially Claquette was only a screen recorder with GIF capabilities and couldn't import/convert videos. But I got a lot of feedback from users that told me they were recording their videos with Claquette, so that they can use its great GIF compression.
The Framer team even wrote a nice blog post about their process: https://www.framer.com/blog/post...
So supporting video import directly was very high on my TODO list for 2.0.
@weichsel Brilliant, thanks for sharing!
I've been using GIPHY Capture for some time, because I thought it was the only GIF capture tool, but was disappointed it didn't have many advanced features. Very excited to find another tool with more advanced features especially for GIF compression, this should be very helpful for sharing GIFs on Twitter!
Congrats on the launch!
@calum Thank you Calum - Let me know how it works for you. I am always looking for feedback.
Wow! It's brilliant. Great job! I can't wait when I try it ๐ค
Congratulations!
Had the chance to be part of the beta testers of Claquette. This app is wonderful, I use it myself to record some quick screencasts I share with colleagues. One request I might have is the ability to show keystroke on the video, because after sharing a screencast, colleagues ask me how do you do x or y. Anyway, I highly recommend this app, it's well done and the developer is very responsive. Good Luck Thomas.
@bionik6 Thank you Ibrahima! Recording keystrokes is on my list - I'll look into that and will let you know when I start another round of Beta testing.
@bionik6 @weichsel This might be handy (for Thomas to add the capability and for Ibrahima to get by until Thomas does ๐ ) - https://github.com/keycastr/keyc...
@michaelthegeek I switched business model with 2.0: The app is now free, but exports get a watermark that can be removed via In-App purchase. But: Existing users automatically get this In-App purchase for free. You just have to re-download/update the app from the Mac App Store. If this does not work in your case, please contact me via the "Support" link on the landing page.
@benjamin_nau Let me know how it goes or if you have any feedback. Have fun!
