Hi Product Hunt, I'm Neel. I make YouTube videos and tutorials, and the slowest part was never recording. It was editing: scrubbing a timeline to find the "um", the pause, the take where I fumbled a line. So I built KothaChobi, a video studio for Mac where the transcript is the editor. How it works: 1. Script: write what you want to say and split it into scenes. 2. Record: screen, camera and voice together, with a teleprompter that can follow your voice. Fluffed a line? Record the scene again and keep the good take. 3. Edit: your takes land on the timeline already transcribed. Delete a word from the text and it's gone from the video. A few things I use all the time: Autocut finds long pauses, fillers and retakes and shows you the list before cutting anything. The cursor is recorded separately, so you can add zoom on clicks and click rings afterwards. Captions, privacy blur for passwords, noise removal, and vertical shorts from the same project. It runs on your Mac. Speech-to-text is offline, projects are plain folders, and nothing is uploaded unless you choose to export or share. If you use Claude or ChatGPT, KothaChobi can work with your own account, and there's no AI fee from us. Free to download: script, recording and the full editor, exporting at 720p with a small watermark. Pro is a one-time $67 launch price (no subscription) for 1080p/4K without the watermark and direct publishing to YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and LinkedIn. It needs an Apple silicon Mac on macOS 14 or later. It's new, so there will be rough edges, and I'd really like to hear what you'd record with it and what's missing. I'll be here all day answering questions.
