v2.2.0

Screenify Studio v2.2.0

Screenify is now an MCP server

Screenify has been scriptable for a while — a command line, agent mode, AI-directed effects. The one thing still in the way was the terminal. Now it speaks MCP, the standard AI assistants use to plug into apps. Connect it once and Claude, Claude Code or Cursor can record your screen, style the video and hand you the file.

Added

  • AI Assistants tab in Settings — one button registers Screenify with every AI client it finds on your Mac, and shows which ones are connected. There is a one-click bundle for Claude Desktop as well.
  • Ask for the finished video, not just a recording — your assistant can drive the whole studio: wallpapers and backgrounds, device mockups, auto-zoom, cinematic effects, GIF or MOV, and the platform presets for YouTube, TikTok, Reels and the rest.
  • Photo mockups and camera moves on request — ask for a café desk or a workspace shot and Screenify picks one from the library; ask for a slow push-in or a drift across the frame and it writes the camera move for you.
  • Open a video you already have — point Screenify at any video or image and it becomes a project you can style. Your assistant can do this in one step: hand it a file, get a finished video back.
  • Progress on long jobs — recordings and exports report how far along they are while they run, and can be cancelled mid-flight.

Improved

  • Opening and closing transitions from the command line — set a fade or slide in one flag instead of editing the project by hand.
  • Multi-window recording is documented everywhere — it has worked since 1.18, but the option was missing from the guides.
  • A fuller settings catalog for assistants — voiceover, transitions, cinematic focus, mask shapes, zoom easing and every device mockup control are now discoverable, so an assistant can reach settings it previously could not see.

Fixed

  • Watermark no longer renders as a blurred smudge on imported projects. Videos opened from a file fell back to a frosted watermark that looked wrong over raw footage.
  • Turning the watermark off from the command line now actually turns it off.
  • Applying effects and styling in the same command no longer fails.
  • Paths starting with ~ work everywhere — asking to save to ~/Desktop used to create a folder literally named ~.
