About GlidePage, and the person who builds it.

Why it exists

Showing a website in motion is one of the best ways to present it: in a launch post, a portfolio, a client handoff or an ad. But recording one by hand is fiddly. The scroll stutters, the cursor wanders into frame, cookie banners cover the hero, and it never looks the same twice.

GlidePage does it properly. It opens the page in its own browser, captures every frame one at a time with a real easing curve, and puts it in a real device frame on the background you choose. Nothing is uploaded: the page renders on your Mac, which also means it can record localhost and staging sites. And when a popup is in the way or the page needs a login, Take control lets you use the real page first, then record what you left.

How GlidePage works

You paste a link and pick a device. GlidePage loads the page with that device's screen size and, for phones, its mobile user agent, so the site shows the layout its visitors see. It scrolls through once so lazy images, fonts and reveal animations load, then records.

The recording is not a screen capture. GlidePage runs the page on a controlled clock and captures one frame at a time, so the scroll follows the easing curve exactly, at 60 fps, however busy your Mac is. Animations and videos on the page advance frame by frame too. The frames are encoded on your Mac into a 4K MP4, a transparent ProRes 4444 or WebM file, or a sequence of stills. There are six motion curves, from a steady glide to a cinematic ease, and the guide to scrolling videos compares this with the other ways of making one.

What it will not do

GlidePage does one job. So you know before you try it, it does not:

• stitch a full-page screenshot into one tall image (photo mode takes a 4K still at the spot you choose);
• add voiceover, captions, cursor animations or zoom effects, or edit on a timeline;
• run on Intel Macs, Windows or iOS yet, or render in the cloud.
