About Screendrift

ScreenDrift is a browser-based editor that adds 3D tilt, motion, effects and sound to screen recordings. You drop in a recording or camera footage (MP4, MOV, WebM), apply one of 40+ animation presets or dial in rotation, scale and offset, and export in 4K at 60fps. Everything is processed on the device, so no video is uploaded and it works offline.

The output is framed, shadowed and placed on a brand background with a camera move that follows the action, plus background music and sound effects, aimed at demos for Product Hunt, LinkedIn and launch posts. GPU-accelerated rendering handles the export. The free tier has 10 animation presets, watermarked exports and basic 3D controls; Pro is $19 per year with all presets, no watermark and 4K 60fps export; and a lifetime license is listed at $29.
