How can we help?

Everything you need to go from a screen recording to a product video that sells, one topic at a time.

Getting started

Create your account and make your first video.

What is LamaLama?

LamaLama is a free video editor that runs in your browser. It turns a plain screen recording of your app into a polished product video: camera moves on a 3D stage, text, motion graphics and transitions. You record or upload your app, the AI can direct a first cut, you polish it, then you export an MP4 or share a link.

How do I sign up?

Go to Sign up and continue with Google, GitHub or your email. With email we send you a magic link: open it and you're in, no password to remember. Every account gets a personal workspace right away.

Does it cost anything?

No. LamaLama is free. The AI features run on your own Anthropic API key, so Anthropic bills you directly for what the AI uses (see Your AI key). Every manual tool works without a key.

What's the fastest way to my first video?

  1. Create a brand kit with your colours, fonts and logo.
  2. Open Footage in the sidebar and record your screen or upload a recording.
  3. Open the clip, press Direct with AI or set the camera, cuts and text yourself.
  4. In Videos, press New video, add your clips and press Export.

Brand kits

Colours, fonts and logo that every video uses.

What is a brand kit?

A brand kit holds your product's colours, fonts and logo. Text and motion graphics in your videos use them, so every video looks like your brand without picking colours each time. A brand kit is also the folder for the footage of that product.

Can LamaLama draft a kit from my website?

Yes. Paste your website's address and press Create from website: the AI reads the page and drafts the colours, fonts and logo. Review the draft and change anything before you save. This needs an AI key in the workspace, and each workspace can draft up to 20 kits a day. You can always build a kit by hand instead.

Recording and uploading

Get your app's footage into LamaLama.

How do I record my screen?

Open Footage in the sidebar and start a recording. If you have more than one brand kit, pick the one the clip belongs to. Your browser asks which screen, window or tab to share. Stop when you're done and the recording uploads on its own. Recording needs a desktop browser.

Which files can I upload?

MP4, MOV and WebM videos, up to 10 minutes and 1 GB each. Large files go up in small parts at the same time; if your connection drops, only the part that failed is sent again. Keep the tab open until the upload finishes: the browser asks before you close it.

What happens after an upload?

The clip is processed so it plays smoothly in the editor, then analysed to find its key moments: where something happens on screen. You can keep working while that runs; the clip shows its progress and opens when it's ready. With an AI key, each key moment also gets a short description of what's on screen.

Is there a daily limit?

Each person can start up to 100 uploads or recordings a day, across all their workspaces. The limit resets every day.

The motion studio

Camera, cuts, text and graphics for each clip.

What can I change in a clip?

  • Camera: shots on a 3D stage that zoom, tilt and turn to what matters, timed to the key moments.
  • Cuts and speed: split the clip, drop the dull parts and speed up the waits.
  • Text and graphics: titles, captions and motion graphics in your brand's colours and fonts.
  • Looks: layouts, backgrounds and lens effects.

What does Direct with AI do?

Direct with AI looks at the clip's key moments and directs a first cut for you: camera moves, cuts and text. Then change anything you like. On a single moment, Let AI choose picks a graphic that fits it. Both need an AI key in the workspace.

Can I undo a change?

Yes, with ⌘Z / Ctrl+Z and redo with ⇧⌘Z / Ctrl+Y. Changes save on their own as you go.

Which keyboard shortcuts are there?

  • Space: play or pause. J / K / L: backwards, pause, forwards (press again to go faster).
  • , / .: one frame back or forward. ← / →: move the playhead 0.1 s (with Shift, 1 s).
  • S: split the footage at the playhead. Delete: remove the selected text or graphic.
  • F: full-screen preview (Esc to leave).

Press ? in the editor to see them all.

Videos

Join clips into one video.

How do I make a video from several clips?

In Videos, press New video, then Add clips and pick them from your footage. Put them in order and choose the transition between each pair. Every clip keeps the camera, cuts and text you gave it in the studio.

What if the same video is open in two tabs?

Saves are versioned. If the video changed in another tab or by a teammate, LamaLama tells you instead of overwriting their work, and you choose which version to keep.

Export and share

Download an MP4 or send a link.

Which formats can I export?

MP4 in four shapes: 16:9 for websites and YouTube, 9:16 for Reels, Shorts and TikTok, 1:1 and 4:5 for social feeds. Press Export, pick the shape and keep working: the video renders on our servers and is ready to download when it's done. Each person can start up to 50 exports a day.

How do share links work?

A Share link publishes the video on a public page that anyone with the link can watch, no account needed. Search engines don't index it. You can revoke the link at any time, and the page stops working right away.

Workspaces and teams

Work on videos with your teammates.

What is a workspace?

A workspace holds brand kits, footage, videos and an AI key. You start with a personal one; create shared workspaces for your team and switch between them from the sidebar. Each person can create up to 5 workspaces a day.

How do I invite someone?

In Settings → Workspace, enter their email and choose what they can do. They get an email with a link to join; people without an account create one on the way. Each person can send up to 40 invitations a day.

What can each role do?

  • Owner: everything, including deleting the workspace. Each workspace has one.
  • Admin: everything else, including members, the API key and the workspace name.
  • Editor: brand kits, footage, videos, AI and exports.
  • Viewer: can look, can't change anything.
  • Custom: pick each permission yourself, from uploading footage to managing members.

Your AI key

Turn on the AI features with your Anthropic key.

Why do I need my own key?

LamaLama is free because the AI runs on your own Anthropic account: you pay Anthropic only for what you use, and nobody else spends your budget. Without a key, the AI features stay off and everything else works.

How do I add it?

Create a key in the Anthropic Console, then paste it in Settings → API key. We check it with Anthropic and store it encrypted (AES-256-GCM). The key belongs to the workspace, so every member with the Use AI permission can run the AI features on it.

Which features use the key?

  • Drafting a brand kit from a website: up to 20 a day.
  • Describing the key moments of a clip: up to 300 a day.
  • Direct with AI: up to 40 a day.
  • Let AI choose a graphic: up to 100 a day.

Your account

Profile, mascot, and deleting your account.

How do I change my name or photo?

Open Settings → Profile from the user menu at the bottom of the sidebar. There you can also pick your llama mascot: Director, DJ, Artist, Explorer, Coder, Astronaut or Rockstar.

How do I delete my account?

In Settings → Profile, press Delete account and type your email to confirm. It can't be undone: your personal workspace and every workspace you own are deleted, with their brand kits, footage and videos, for everyone in them. See the Privacy Policy for what we keep and for how long.

What is Make it rain?

Llamageddon. Press Make it rain next to the logo, or in the header of the app, and find out.
