Turn your steps into a walkthrough

A process you know by heart is a sequence of screens somebody else has never seen. Step Movie takes those captures, orders them as steps, and moves between them like a guided tour.

Step Movie is part of Studio, a one-time $99 purchase. Everything else on this page is free.

Between a screenshot dump and a video

A folder of screenshots has all the information and none of the sequence. A screen recording has the sequence but drags the viewer through every hesitation and mistyped field.

A step-by-step walkthrough sits between them: the moments that matter, in order, with movement connecting them.

It starts with captures

Screenshots, in order.

Take the shots as you go and hand them over. Each becomes a step you can reorder, retitle and retime — the sequence is the thing the folder of screenshots was missing.

  • Reorderable
  • Narration

The camera move

It travels between them.

The frame moves from step to step like a guided tour rather than cutting flatly, which is what makes a sequence of stills read as a walkthrough.
