KeySnatcher
Posted on 11. Jul, 2008 by Jerzy Drozda Jr in Blog
Since I’m working on Making It Look Great 5 DVD I don’t want to miss any opportunity to make things look their best. I’ve watched previeus editions of this series and most of them where recorded on Mac using some build-in software. The most cute feature was a visual representation of keys that were being pressed during the recording. I wanted that for myself.
Unfortunately I wasn’t able to find any software for Windows that would do what I desired. Everything that I found was made for Mac. I liked KeyCastr the most. I believe that I even seen one software for Windows that meets this functionality, but it was worse than ugly. After an hour of googling I decided to make my own, and so I did. Here’s a little preview video of what it is at the moment.
There are some small bugs to fix, but hopefully it won’t take long before I publish this wonderful little app for us Windows users.

It’s a hybrid based on client-server architecture. I’ll explain how it works in a separate post when I’m done, which shouldn’t be long, since I need this tool to start recording tutorials for Making It Look Great 5

It’s a hybrid in a client-server architecture build on top of Vb6 and Air platforms.

It’s a great helper program, I’ve been looking for such a program as well; but couldn’t find anything. thanks so much. What is gonna be the price of it, Jerzy? I have a suggestion: if you can, make an option which is gonna force the letter indicator to be near the curser and travel along with the curser. the viewers always follow the curser…

If I was to see this few months ago, I’d recommend ShowOff, which, with a little bit of tweaking can almost get you to that Mac software look. However, I can see you got it working and it’s WAY better than what you can do with the AHK script. Are you going to release it officially? :|

That’s the plan. Hard to say when. There are major changes to be made in order for it to work on other machines, not to mention adding cool features. Everything in it’s own time. I guess now (that I have been more active with the site) when I say “soon” it really means “soon”, so… KeySnatcher – coming soon :)

Thanks for the quick reply! I’m really looking forward to it. Maybe it’s not really the right place to say that, but keep those great tutorials up man! I always thought, when it comes to AE, I can pretty much do anything or figure it out in the process of creating it. However, going through the blog and the tutorials page, I realized how wrong I was. That’s why maltaannon.com popped up in my daily-check list. Again, great work!

As a matter of fact – yes. There will be a public release available in a few months. It’s just that NAB 2010 is very close and I’m quite busy getting ready for the presentations. After NAB I should go back to working on the public release. However – if you need the tool now drop me an email and we’ll work something out.
