Kinetic / Guides / Screen Studio and Kinetic
Screen Studio and Kinetic do different jobs.
Screen Studio records your screen and makes the recording look great. Kinetic creates a motion-designed film from text and screenshots. Many launches use both.
Runs in Chrome, Edge and Safari on Mac, Windows, Linux and ChromeOS. Free trial: 3 exports, no card. Pro is one payment: $9 for the first 100 buyers, then $19.
Which one you need
Use a screen recorder like Screen Studio for a walkthrough: the real product, real clicks, a few minutes long, ideal for docs and onboarding.
Use Kinetic for the launch film: 15 to 30 seconds of kinetic type and animated screens that make people stop scrolling and click.
Using both
- Make the short launch film in Kinetic for X, LinkedIn, Product Hunt and your homepage hero.
- Record a longer walkthrough for your docs or the Product Hunt gallery.
- Link from the short film to the walkthrough.
