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
