Very cool tool, Grant! I love how user-friendly it is! Congrats on the launch! Just upvoted :)

If you're tired of starting over and over your recordings in Loom, you should use tella. They invented the "re-record" button ! Jokes aside, for curated video recording creation, Tella is killing it. It looks so much more professional than a quick loom
Benjamin Netter
Wow the new release is so good. 😍
Grant Shaddick
Cheers @benjaminnetter. Couldn't have done it without your feedback! :)
David O. Andersen
This looks great. And may I just compliment you on the presentation video: no BS and to the point. Well done!
Grant Shaddick
Thanks @davidoa :)
Thiago Monteiro
Great work @happylinks1 @9rantys! Love the new recording UX. πŸ’ͺ

@borisandcrispin love to hear that :)

❀️ Love the Demo video @9rantys going to try Tella for async pitching πŸ‘Œ
Grant Shaddick
@itsjeremiahs great idea :)

This is a fantastic product. One suggestion is to add a Split feature along with Trim, so that we can kick out multiple awkward silences, aahs, umms... etc easily.
Grant Shaddick
@surjithctly yeah that would be cool, we'd like to make this possible without it feeling too much like a traditional video trimming tool. However, you can already remove part of a scene by duplicating it and adjusting the start and ends.
Surjith S M
@9rantys Yup. I saw that. Would be a pain if there are too much section to remove. Also, Do you have the option to add Speed Controls on a particular scene / part? btw, Its a great product. I enjoyed using it for the first time. Never felt a lag. And export to MP4 as a background task is killer feature, as I have experienced how slow the process is usually.
Grant Shaddick
@surjithctly yup that's true - it's best when there's only a couple major things you want to remove. Re. scene-based speed controls, what kind of use case are you thinking about here? e.g. a speed run of a product feature.
Surjith S M
@9rantys For example, I might be writing some code and if I wanted to speed it up, I can use that. So users don't want me to see typing super slow. The same goes for showing lot of steps. Since its visually digestible easily, we could speed up the steps instead of Realtime.

Slick! I'll be using this often I'd imagine. 😁

You guys recently improved the renderer which made playback so much smoother on the embeds. So nice! I’m super glad you enabled us to abandon the old edit -> render -> upload loop for this type of video content πŸ™ Congrats to the whole team πŸŽ‰
Grant Shaddick
Thanks @ricklamers - really appreciated all your feedback so far!
Ziv Reichert
Congrats on launching V2 - looks awesome :)

G'day, Product Hunt. Tella is back! Extremely excited to share the new version with you. πŸ“· Tella is like a camera that lives in your web browser. You can record yourself, your screen, or present slides β€” without installing any plugins or apps. πŸ’… Customise your recordings with different layouts, backgrounds, and frame styles. No design or video editing skills needed. 🎬 Combine multiple recordings as a single video. No more long, boring single-takes. ⚑️ Share your video anywhere, instantly β€” just copy its link.

People use Tella for product demos, presentations, launch videos, how-to's, sales pitches, internal comms, course creation, telling stories, and heaps more. Really looking forward to hearing what you think. 😊

@9rantys Hey Grant I head partnerships for Pitchground.com and I'd love to host Tella on our global marketplace for you for no out of pocket cost. Interested? DM me on Twitter. You could gain $$$ + global reach + paying customers.
Leonard Bogdonoff
@9rantys The video quality updates and ease of use is unmatched. @happylinks1 and @9rantys you guys are crushing it!
Aleks Bochkov
@9rantys Love it! Especially the template of the video! Looks fresh compared to the boring talking heads in a circle format! Congrats πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€

@9rantys All the videos you made about Tella using itself look and feel lovely. πŸ‘ When did you start creating Tella and curious at what point you initially launched?
Calum Webb
Hey ?makers, congrats on 2.0, loving the look of the new customization options and the new scene options look super exciting! If anyone can create an engaging demo video, it's got to be @9rantys πŸ™Œ
Grant Shaddick
Cheers @calum!
Girdharee Saran
Awesome project! I've been looking for something like this for quite a long time.
SΓ©bastien Robaszkiewicz
Amazing job ?makers! Love that new version, it makes it so easy to edit a longer video without the hassle that comes with regular video editing software. And the instant sharing is killer: congrats! πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘
Jon Perl
I love using Tella for creating product demos and documentation and how responsive @9rantys is to feedback
NaveenKumar Namachivayam
Looks neat :) ?makers

So just to move the facecam and few more layout and add background I have to $10 extra than loom ?
Grant Shaddick
Hey @itstechmode, not at all - you can still do all of those things in the Free version :)
Shun Yamada
Love this concept & the quality of recording the video. How do you complete with Loom and Screencastify?
Grant Shaddick
Cheers @shun_yamada - our main focus is giving people creative tools on top of screen/cam recordings. In the past we made the mistake of going too far down the video editor route. So now we're trying to find the right balance of enough customisation so that you can express yourself, but also remaining pretty light and efficient. E.g. Maybe the comparison could be the an Insta story, where you have a limited set of editing tools (Haven't checked Screencastify recently tho...).

I really like Tella for the extra features it offers but I am baffled quite a bit by its key feature. The idea that you can instantly share a video you just recorded with someone remote is absolutely great, and very useful, but the implementation does disappoint me as you cannot really promise what you can't control. Let me explain myself better: Tella claims that you can share a video you just recorded with it instantly with anyone. This is 50% true and 50% false at the same time. True because you can indeed share instantly a link to your just-recorded video. False because if you are on a slow internet connection that takes hours to upload your recorded video, anyone with whom you will share that link will not be able to see nothing more than a black screen loading a video. Am I missing something?
Grant Shaddick
Hey @robingood - while you do a recording we upload it in the background, in most cases this means that a recording will be fully uploaded shortly after you stop recording. If your video hasn't finished uploading after you've stopped recording then we'll continue uploading while you edit or add other recordings. Your video needs to be fully uploaded before recipients can watch it - a slow internet connection can mean that takes longer. But we're always trying to make it faster, even on slower connections :)
Robin Good
@9rantys Thank you Grant, I am happy to read that I am not mistaken and that my little disappointment is not something just in my head. I understand most of your customers are not in my situation, but I do value 100% transparency in the marketing communications department. Thus I feel that your site/landing could be a little more clear to what one can truly expect. I myself I feel into the trap of believing 100% what you promise here and on your landing and I even published a positive short review about it (tools.robingood.com). I now regret having re-sold at face value your "share instantly" claim, because I myself have been a victim of it. Honesty always pays back. To further help the constructive side of this let me share these info points: a. I am connecting from a Mexican island called Holbox. b. I am connecting via a HughesNet satellite connection c. This connection is 90% of the time throttled unless you pay a hefty price d. Upload speed according to SpeedTest is 0.70Mbps Finally, I think you are doing a wonderful job with this tool and nailing the key areas where competitors have been sitting and sleeping for a while. Kudos! I like what you do and I trust we can fix this little issue both by being more honest and transparent about how things really work and by following up further on the path you have already taken.
