Recordly
The open-source screen recorder and editor for professional product videos, demos, and tutorials.
The Lens
Recordly is the open source alternative to Screen Studio for polished screen recordings, tutorials, and bug reports. It records your screen, lets you edit the footage, and produces professional-looking product videos with zoom effects, cursor highlighting, and clean exports.
This is specifically for product and developer content. It's not a general video editor. It's optimized for the 'record my screen, make it look polished, export' workflow that Screen Studio popularized.
The catch:. The license is listed as 'Other' which means you need to check the repo for exact terms before using it commercially. And it's newer than Screen Studio: fewer export options, less polish on edge cases.
