Scroll video vs manual screen recording

Recording a landing page with OBS, QuickTime, or a phone pointed at a monitor works — until you need a clean viewport, consistent speed, or a second take after copy changes. Scrollify automates the scroll from a public URL.

When screen recording fits better

  • • You must show a logged-in product or staging host
  • • You need cursor hover states you control live
  • • The “video” is really a live improvisation with voiceover

When Scrollify fits better

  • • Public marketing pages, blogs, and portfolios
  • • You want consistent scroll speed every export
  • • You need share links and a library, not desktop files only

FAQ

Is Scrollify just automated screen recording?
It captures a remote browser session scrolling a URL you provide. You are not recording your local desktop, so notifications and bookmarks stay out of the frame.
Can I record any website for a landing page demo?
Public pages work. Private networks, localhost, and blocked hosts are rejected for safety. Only capture sites you are allowed to use in marketing.
What if scroll speed feels too fast?
Paid plans can tune FPS and duration within plan limits. Free presets use calmer defaults (including 8fps on quick captures) so viewers can read section headings.
Where do files live after export?
In your Scrollify library with download and optional public share links — no hunting through Downloads folders.
