I am recording screencasts on OSX and Linux, and I am trying to set up some way to speed up recording of typing long blocks of code.
I need a way to take scripts or macros that I generate, and have it type during the recording, for smooth perfect typing. I also need to be able to control the speed - so sometimes typing is quick and sometimes it slows down (to help the viewer see what's going on).
I was thinking of generating vim macros, but they execute very fast and I can't figure out how to control the speed. Another option is keyboard macros (keyboard maestro, etc), but I can't find one that I can easily write scripts/macros for (they all seem to be GUI-focused).
OR: Is there a way for me to easily do this in post-production (video editing)? My current solution is to actually edit out the mistakes and typeovers. It produces a very nice video, but takes hours to edit a few minutes of typing.
1Have you ever played with AutoIT? It have the ability to type keyboard strokes, set sleep time between each, etc. – Pimp Juice IT – 2015-10-18T23:38:31.167
That looks like it could work, but I should have mentioned I'm only on OSX and Linux. – willoller – 2015-10-19T02:50:19.930
