Aeschylus is a proof-of-concept Auto-Editing ScreenCast system that removes the need to manually edit screencast videos. As you record a screencast, you tell Aeschylus that you are at a safepoint, or need to rewind to the last safepoint and try again. When you are finished, Aeschylus then automatically edits the video, removing all the rewound scenes, and producing a ready-to-upload file as output. I first saw a version of this idea in this video from Vivek Haldar: relative to Vivek's implementation, Aeschylus uses the time of events to edit the video. Example videos using Aeschylus are Don't Panic! Better, Fewer, Syntax Errors for LR Parsers and Virtual Machine Warmup Blows Hot and Cold.
Aeschylus is extremely rough and ready, held together by strings, low-level, and won't work on your system without at least some customisation. However, it might serve as inspiration for someone to build, or extend, a more robust system in the same vein.
Aeschylus takes as its first argument a configuration file, which is a zsh script. You need to set the following variables in your configuration file:
