Stop recording demos
that never ship.
Drop in a screen recording. Get a polished demo with AI voiceover, styled captions, and chapter markers — ready to publish. Stop letting product videos die in your backlog.
Automated product demos for SaaS companies means turning raw screen recordings into publish-ready videos — with voiceover, captions, chapter markers, and SEO metadata — without a video editor, an agency, or a two-week production cycle. obclip replaces the post-production bottleneck that stops product teams from shipping the demos they already recorded.
The problem
Why SaaS product videos die in the backlog
Engineers and PMs record screen walkthroughs constantly. The bottleneck is everything between “recording saved” and “video published.”
- 1Record screen walkthrough of the feature.PM or engineer15–30 min
- 2Write narration script from the recording.PM or marketing30–60 min
- 3Record voiceover or configure TTS tool.Marketing or contractor20–45 min
- 4Import recording + audio into video editor.Editor or contractor15–30 min
- 5Sync voiceover to screen actions, trim dead air.Editor45–90 min
- 6Add captions, chapter markers, branded intro/outro.Editor30–60 min
- 7Write SEO metadata — title, description, tags.Marketing15–30 min
- 8Internal review + revision cycle.PM + editor30 min–3 days
- 9Export and publish to YouTube / embed in docs.Marketing10–20 min
Conservative total: 3.5–6 hours per video. For a team shipping biweekly releases, that's 7–12 hours per month — a full sprint day — on post-production alone.
What changes
Upload a recording. Get a published demo.
Loom, OBS, QuickTime — it all works
Upload whatever you recorded. MP4, MOV, WebM. No format requirements, no plugins, no pre-processing. The pipeline handles codecs and resolution.
Script, voice, captions, chapters — automated
The pipeline generates a narration script, renders voiceover, burns captions, and attaches chapter markers. Review the script or approve as-is.
Same voice. Same style. Every video.
Lock your voice style and caption style at the workspace level. Anyone on the team runs the pipeline — PM, engineer, marketing — and gets brand-consistent output.
How it works
Screen recording in. Published demo out.
Four steps from raw capture to polished artifact. The pipeline handles script, voice, captions, chapters, rendering, and metadata.
Loom export, OBS capture, QuickTime recording, or any MP4/MOV/WebM. No format requirements. No pre-processing.
The pipeline analyzes your screen recording, drafts a narration script, and generates voiceover with your configured voice style — technical for dev tools, friendly for consumer SaaS.
Timed captions render in your chosen style. Chapter markers align to major feature sections, giving viewers a table of contents for longer demos.
Preview the finished demo. Publish directly to YouTube, download for embedding in your docs, or share with your team for review. SEO metadata is already attached.
Side by side
Manual production vs. obclip pipeline
| Manual Production | obclip Pipeline | |
|---|---|---|
| Recording to published | 3.5–6 hours + review cycles | Minutes (mostly render time) |
| Tools required | Screen recorder + editor + TTS + caption tool + YouTube Studio | 1 dashboard |
| Voiceover | Configure TTS per video → download → import → sync | Voice preset |
| Captions | Export transcript → time manually → style per brand spec | Caption preset |
| Chapter markers | Watch video → note timestamps → type into YouTube | Auto-detected from footage analysis |
| SEO metadata | Research keywords → write title/description/tags by hand | Auto-generated |
| Consistency | Depends on who edits this time | Locked presets, same quality every run |
| Scaling 2→8 videos/month | Hire an editor or contractor | Run more pipelines |

FAQ
Common questions
What screen recording tools work with obclip?
Any tool that exports MP4, MOV, or WebM. Loom, OBS Studio, QuickTime, ScreenPal, Camtasia — whatever your team already uses. No plugins or integrations required.
Can I edit the auto-generated script before voiceover?
Yes. The pipeline pauses after script generation. Review the narration, edit for accuracy, adjust phrasing, then approve. Voiceover generates from the approved script.
How does obclip handle technical terminology?
The narrator brief in your voice style configuration accepts product-specific terms, pronunciation guides, and audience context. The script and voice stages use this to generate accurate narration.
Can I produce videos in multiple languages?
Voice providers support multiple languages. Configure a separate voice style per language and run the same recording through different language pipelines. Captions generate in the narration language.
What about screen recordings with existing audio?
If your recording already has audio (e.g., a Loom with narration), the pipeline can analyze the existing audio as context for script generation. You can keep the original audio or replace it with a pipeline-generated voiceover.
How do I maintain brand consistency across teams?
Lock your voice style and caption style at the workspace level. When any team member runs the pipeline — PM, engineer, or marketing — the same voice, captions, and metadata rules apply automatically.
Can different teams use different settings?
Yes. Create separate workspaces per team or video type. Your DevRel team can use a technical voice for API tutorials while marketing uses a friendly voice for product demos.
How long does a pipeline run take?
Most screen recording demos (2–5 minutes of source footage) complete in under 15 minutes. Rendering is server-side and doesn't depend on your machine's specs.
Does obclip replace Loom?
No. Loom is a recording tool. obclip is a post-production pipeline. Record in Loom (or any tool), export the file, upload to obclip. They're complementary.
Ready to ship the demos you've already recorded?
Run your first screen recording through the pipeline in minutes. No credit card required.
