What is CodeVideo?

CodeVideo, an authoring tool for creating code tutorials and software training using event-sourced action recording and deterministic timelines.

Convert editor actions, terminal output, and narrated steps into video, MP4, Markdown, PDF, PPTX, HTML, or framework-specific exports (React, Angular, Vue).



Event-sourced timeline captures file edits, mouse events, and terminal commands for precise, scrubable replays.

Edit, insert, or remove actions to correct lessons without re-recording, then export updated content in seconds.

API and JSON exports enable automation, custom integrations, and cloud or S3 workflows for programmatic generation.

CodeVideo use cases

  • Create scrubable, editable code tutorials by recording editor edits, terminal output, and UI events into a deterministic timeline, then export to video, Markdown, PDF, PPTX, HTML or framework-specific projects for embedding in docs, course platforms, or marketing assets
  • Develop collaborative, step-by-step coding lessons with teammates using the event-sourced recorder and editable action timeline to add annotations and corrections in real time, then publish as interactive HTML or push programmatic workflows via API/JSON for LMS and onboarding integrations
  • Produce reproducible training modules and coding assessments that capture terminal output and UI interactions for exact replay and automated grading, export as framework-specific projects and instructor-ready PPTX/Markdown, or generate customized lesson variants programmatically through the API
