Generate smooth, human-like demo videos of any website without manual recording.

Sitecast is a free, open-source tool that allows you to generate high-definition MP4 demo videos of websites directly from your command line without manual recording. It runs entirely locally, requiring no accounts, subscriptions, or cloud services.

Key Features:

• 100% Local & Private: All recordings and data stay on your machine.

• Human-like Pacing: Automatically scrolls through websites with natural pauses, capturing animations and key content smoothly.

• High-Quality Output: Videos are encoded locally using FFmpeg with libx264 (CRF 23) for near-lossless compression and broad compatibility.

• Developer Focused: Designed for reproducible, high-quality video generation.

• Customization: Options for dark color scheme, kiosk mode (no browser frame), frame rate, resolution, and more.

• Environment Diagnostics: Includes 'sitecast doctor' to verify system setup and 'sitecast setup' to install Chromium if needed.

• Cross-Platform Support: Supports Linux and WSL2 on Windows.

How it Works:

1. Install the CLI: Use npm install -g sitecast.

2. Run the Renderer: Execute `sitecast render <url>` to start recording.

3. Get Your Video: A high-quality MP4 file is generated locally.
