That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 133 of the 133 other screen recording and video tools grade higher. - You could make: Templates: an app builder makes this well. - You could not: A video editor. - You could not: Speech turned into text you can trust. - You could not: A real app for Windows. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
