1:54 of brief, live capture, brand plates, narration, captions, and chapters, from one local desk. Approval gates before every render. One 1920×1080 master, square, vertical, and a GIF from the same cut. MIT.
_> The film, made in Studio
Brief, script, direction, Playwright capture, cut, and handoff. Nothing in it is a mock.
A product walkthrough was either a motion project or a raw screen recording. Stakeholders needed the first. Teams had time for the second.
Walkthrough Studio closes that gap on one local desk. The live app is the source of truth: brief, script, direction, Playwright capture, cut, and handoff. Brand plates carry the proof the screen cannot show. Nothing records until the script is approved.
The film has to look like the product, not a slide deck wearing the logo. Hand-editing every zoom, cursor, and title card does not survive the next release, so the cut had to be regenerable from a script.
It also had to stay on the machine. Capture, versions, and the master never leave the laptop. Narration and the music bed call ElevenLabs only when a key is present. Studio opens without one.
Six stages sit on one bar: Brief, Script, Direction, Record, Cut, Deliver. A five-step brief can be drafted by a local agent. Direction sets atmosphere, motion energy, transitions, camera, and cursor once, and every chapter inherits it.
After the first cut, a director note in plain language picks the smallest safe scope: story, brand, timing, plates, or voice. Only that scope re-runs. Studio waits for approval before the next render.
One export: a 1920×1080 master, captions, chapters, poster, square, vertical, a 720p file, and a GIF teaser. Chapters ship inside the MP4 and as YouTube timestamps.
The senior team that ships client work films its own products with this desk. We published it under MIT so other teams can run the same path, from a brief to a file you can send the same day.
