Nothing leaves the tab
zoomies reads, zooms and encodes the video in your browser. Projects stay in this browser's own storage, on this computer.
How the recorder places a zoom
Four times a second, zoomies compares each frame of your recording with the one before, on a copy 192 pixels wide.
- Small change
Typing, a click or a menu changes a small area, and that area becomes a zoom.
- Whole screen
A scroll or a page load changes everything and never starts one.
- Two zooms
Close together they merge. Far apart, the camera pans from one to the next.
