screenstudio-alt
Open-source headless Screen Studio alternative: auto speed-up of idle, auto-zoom on click clusters, keystroke overlay chips, smoothed synthetic cursor, and 9:16 vertical export that follows the action — post-production for screen recordings from the CLI.

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
## When to Use Use when polishing a screen recording / demo video for sharing, when the user mentions Screen Studio, auto-zoom, idle speed-up, or vertical/social video from a screen capture, and for any social-facing demo (vertical output is the default for those). _Source: [connerkward/screenstudio-alternative-skill](https://github.com/connerkward/screenstudio-alternative-skill) (MIT)._ # screenstudio-alt The skill's code lives in this directory (`polish.py`, `render.py`, `studio.py`, `events-log.swift`, test fixtures, etc.). Published publicly as `connerkward/screen-studio-alternative` via the publish-skill skill. Two components: - `events-log` (Swift) — capture-side input logger (cursor 60Hz, clicks, keys; drops keys during macOS secure input). Runs ONLY while recording. Needs Accessibility/Input Monitoring for the terminal. **Auto-zoom/keys/cursor need this data at capture time — it cannot be recovered from pixels later.** - `polish.py` (Python, ffmpeg + PIL) — the post-production pass: ```bash python3 src/polish.py in.mp4 --events in.events.jsonl \ --speedup # compress idle (input-gap ∩ frozen-pixels; animations stay 1x) --zoom # eased auto-zoom on click clusters (zoompan) --k

What does the screenstudio-alt skill do?
Open-source headless Screen Studio alternative: auto speed-up of idle, auto-zoom on click clusters, keystroke overlay chips, smoothed synthetic cursor, and 9:16 vertical export that follows the action — post-production for screen recordings from the CLI.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill screenstudio-alt --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
