Two ways to share your drawing process
Comparing the traditional camera recording workflow with Speedpaint's automated single-pass drawing engine.
Manual camera & screen capture
Recording your screen while you work captures your complete creative session in real time—requiring camera rigs, lighting, hours of footage, and tedious speed-up video editing.
- •Requires recording equipment, camera tripods, and desk lighting
- •Produces massive raw video files that take hours to edit and speed up
- •Impossible to create if you only have the completed photo or artwork

- •Turns finished photos, diagrams, and artwork into drawing videos instantly
- •Customizable drawing hands, pencil styles, paper textures, and pencil audio
