       Ask HN: How do you produce product/feature demo videos?
        
       Sometimes I want to create a short 10 second video showcasing a
       feature to share social media and in the product (e.g. in-app
       release notes).  What is everyone using in 2021? :)

       | 
       | - OBS Studio to record video
       | 
       | - Google Sheets to keep track of different segments of the video
       | 
       | - ffmpeg to split the original video into separate chunks (one
       | per 'scene')
       | 
       | - openshot to arrange the scenes into the full video (speeding up
       | some scenes and maybe slowing down others)
       | 
       | - (don't remember) for recording voiceovers
       | 
       | - sox for normalizing volume of voiceovers
       | 
       | - openshot for adding the voiceovers in the right spots (with the
       | help of my Google Sheet) and background music
