Introduction

Welcome to ScreenCI

ScreenCI is the first Deployment Automation platform for product videos. We treat your product walkthroughs, documentation clips, and marketing videos as code—allowing them to be recorded, rendered, and updated automatically whenever your UI changes.

Why ScreenCI?

Manual screen recording is brittle. Every time you change a button color or move a menu item, your documentation videos become obsolete. ScreenCI solves this by automating the entire lifecycle:

• Write Once: Write .video.ts files — almost regular Playwright e2e tests that are easy to write or AI-generate — and let ScreenCI record and render them with captions automatically on every update.
• Re-record Automatically: Trigger recordings in your own CI on every deployment.
• Update via Text: Change captions by simply typing. No reshoots required.
• Embed Permanently: Use a single link that always points to the latest version of your video.
