ClipDesk transforms regular widescreen screen recordings into polished 9:16 vertical videos for Instagram Reels, Shorts, and TikTok. Instead of spending 30 minutes in Premiere or CapCut manually cropping and keyframing cursor movements, ClipDesk’s virtual camera glides along with your mouse pointer, zooms in smoothly on mouse clicks, adds automatic word-by-word captions on-device via Whisper, and polishes your mic audio. Available as a Windows app, Chrome/Edge extension, and web app.

Partial The UI and recording setup can be vibe-coded, but automatic virtual camera panning that tracks mouse movements and smoothly re-encodes high-resolution vertical video requires non-trivial video processing.
What it would actually take: Requires capturing screen coordinates alongside desktop video frames, writing an algorithm to smooth camera paths (damping, zoom-ins on clicks, deadzones), and feeding these transformations into a native video pipeline like FFmpeg or WebCodecs with WebGL shaders. Coordinating synchronized audio, mouse event streams, and dynamic pan-and-crop re-encoding is the core technical challenge.
