RIP Loom. Hello ツSupercut — Screen Recording that doesn't suck

This is just one of these must shares. If you record your screen a lot, sharing updates with team mates, customers or clients, you are going to love this new tool.

Let’s start from the beginning.

Almost 10 years ago now I first met David Okuniev — the then founder of the now legendary data collection company Typeform. I was new in Barcelona, had just sold my company, and made a soul searching road trip half way across the globe.

David, a man, obsessed with details, took me in, you see I was the first product designer to join the Typeform team back then. I learnt a lot working with David. How he tilts his head when looking at designs. How he relentlessly want to improve, built and contribute. He is by heart an IC.

Fast forward to today, and I have the honour to call him a friend. I would be lying if I did not mention he is a bit odd, but aren’t all founders a bit loose?

When stepping down from day-to-day ops at Typeform, David let me in on what him and Neil Kinnish was going to do. They had raised a bit of money, and had their target set on Screen Recordings.

Now after 6 months in stealth, they released to the world - supercut.video Loom I’m sorry but I’m now an EX-loom user, and I’m now all in on Supercut.

I’m not sure if you use Product Hunt, but if you do, go give them some love and share your thoughts directly with the team there.

Now this is a space I’m personally very attracted to. For one, I record my screen quite a lot, secondly, communication between individuals when using screen recording greatly improves. It’s a very powerful tool, that will make you stand out. Supercut is built with speed and quality from day 0.

So it does not matter if you are making discardable internal updates, or if you are making customer walkthroughs or sales pitches. Supercut handles all these cases with ease.

Another thing that really makes me bullish on Supercut, is that they are doing so much leg work behind the scenes. Someone or something crashing your screen recording party with a loud noise? Easy out of the box they clean the audio. Need chapters? Yeah they sort that too. Captions, yes. Download source video? Yes.

You see, maybe one of the most overlooked features, is that it just works. Speed is not an afterthought, its a core principle, as is quality and design.

I’m also very keen to see the team execute on future AI features, where instead of flashing this as AI powered screen recording. They simply use AI everywhere it makes sense and enhances the experience for the end customer, the supercut user and everyone between.

My final verdict is that Supercut is a tool that I’m almost certainly think you’ll love. It’s built by my friends, old colleagues and I know they have sunk a lot of their time into making this just right.

Go show them some love on Product Hunt, go try out Supercut for yourself, it’s free during their Open Beta.

Let me know what you like/dislike about screen recording tools.
