Make Demo GIF / MP4, released earlier this month, now includes a zoom feature. When you want to draw attention to a specific interaction in a screen recording, simply dropping in a GIF or MP4 does not always communicate what matters. This update adds an optional zoom effect that smoothly magnifies any area of the video to highlight button clicks, form inputs, or other key UI moments.

Today I'm releasing Make Demo GIF / MP4, an open-source tool that converts screen recordings into GIFs or MP4s optimized for GitHub READMEs and social media. It runs FFmpeg on Google Colab, letting you merge multiple videos, tune quality, and adjust playback speed — all through a notebook UI, no command line required.
