Marsha S (ID: 00000069c612ee01) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/11/2023 This extension is great and does what it says. Also the developer is super responsive if something isn't working well. Everything I needed in this extension, thanks!

Joseph La Mere (ID: 0000007990064591) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/05/2023 Surprisingly powerful extension. A must needed tool for anyone producing content!

Odysseas Tsolkas (ID: 0000005548f198ab) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/28/2023 This is by far the best scroll capture tool i found on the web. It would be a solid 5 stars if it actually worked consistently. Which it did, until it didn't, on the same website & computer (osx / chrome). Such a pitty because it is such a well thought out app. Would pay for it 100% if it worked

Stephen Townsend (ID: 0000002db278f89d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/21/2023 Plugin seems great. The only issue I'm having is the recording is coming out a bit fuzzy/low quality. If I set the resolution higher it appears to crop into the site. Not sure if I just need to do it on a higher res monitor or if it's the conversion from webm to mp4 or if it's just the recording itself?

Gene Lewis (ID: 00000075c048f64d) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/15/2023 Hi Patrick! Tool has great potential, but I'm seeing some weird behavior. I try creating a simple timeline of scroll points (only changing the "Y" value), and setting duration to 3 seconds, and delay to 1 second. Rather than cleanly scrolling from one y value to the next, there are a series of small scrolls (maybe a few pixels) in between the bigger scrolls. Am I doing something wrong? I'm on a Mac (Ventura 13.4.1) using Chrome version 116.0.5845.187 (Official Build) (arm64). Can you help?
