Layerpath has made content creation so much simpler and more efficient for me. It’s easy to use, and the way it streamlines updating content, creating voiceovers, and editing videos is impressive. I really appreciate how much time it saves—I can create a complete tour, guide, and video in no time, and even enhance it further using AI tools.
The support team is incredibly responsive and helpful, which makes the process even smoother. Whether you’re working on tutorials, client guides, or marketing videos, Layerpath equips you with the tools to produce high-quality results with ease. If you’re considering it, I highly recommend giving it a try!
I have been reaching out to support and even put it in the question area that I did not get the access email.
I just wish somebody support would help me straighten this out.
Very impressed with this application’s functionality and polish. For a tool that’s all about training, I required very little of it in order to get started. It’s extremely intuitive. I was able to quickly generate guided demos seconds after installing the Chrome extension. One star off for the occasional visual glitches (i.e., zooms with tool tips that don’t remain auto-aligned). I’m guessing the rough spots will be smoothed over in time. Feeling good about this one.
Hi Vinay,
I recently purchased the Lifetime Tier 3 product, and as an advanced user and developer deeply immersed in Zoho One, I must say—this is truly a masterpiece. The platform you and your team have developed is not just functional; it’s a testament to innovation driven by genuine customer-centric design.
What stands out is how seamlessly this product bridges the gap between technical challenges and user-friendly solutions. Every feature is crafted with intention, addressing real-world customer pain points with precision and empathy. The feedback-inspired approach reflected in the transparent and actionable updates on the Canny roadmap is truly commendable. This product isn’t just solving the problem of creating simple, easy-to-understand product demos—it’s redefining how we communicate complex ideas with clarity and impact.
The potential here is enormous, and I am genuinely excited about the feature enhancements you have planned. Your commitment to evolving this platform speaks volumes about your dedication to empowering the users and building trust through meaningful innovation.
I’d like to suggest a few feature requests that could further enhance the platform:
1. AI Video Focus and Highlighting: Incorporate an AI-driven video feature that automatically zooms in on and highlights mindmaps or flowcharts during product demo walkthroughs as I also use these features in my product demos. This would make it easier for users to draw attention to critical parts of their workflows without needing extensive editing.
2. Presenter Camera Feature: Add a camera feature similar to Loom that allows presenters to appear on-screen during demos, with a toggle option to enable or disable the camera based on their preference.
3. Workflow Setup Enhancements: Tools to simplify the creation of step-by-step guides or interactive walkthroughs, seamlessly integrating into product demonstrations.
4. Toggle option to record the entire screen or a specific browser.
These features would significantly enhance the platform’s usability and appeal, making it an even more indispensable tool for creating impactful and engaging product demos.
Wishing you and your team continued success in shaping this exceptional tool into an industry-leading solution! Note: Adding the same points in the canny roadmap product request for easy reference. Thank you!
I was up and running in a few mins. The software is intuitive and easy to learn. I produced my first amazing demo in less than 20 mins. It's better than other similar products I have tried and returned as they were not up to snuff.
My current workflow is to turn on Stepy and Loom to create a walkthrough and video. This always leads to deleting the beginning where you see me turn on loom as the first step in Stepsy. And the end, you see me turning one off in the other.
Stepsy is pretty expensive but it works really well. The ability to edit a process in the live document is my favorite feature. If a tool changes, I can just change a few steps in that document and not have to resend out a new PDF to the world. It's instantly the newest version for everyone who has the link.
LayerPath has that feature and acts like it's not a big deal. It's AWESOME.
While you cannot record your voice during the recording and its only a chrome extension right now, those are both fine for me. Trying to record your voice and do a demo and control your clicks at the same time is hard and usually I end up with a good video OR a good step by step guide. Never both.
I rarely write reviews of products, but in this case I had no choice. LayerPath is now a major part of my workflow and I'm really excited to see what the future holds.
I almost missed this one. I have a similar product, which I love - I won't mention the name. However, this is a slightly different to my other tool. Although I have only used it for 24 hours, I like it a lot. It's very useful. I have given it 4 out 5, and I would have given it 5 out 5 because of the following reasons:
1. At the moment it is only Chrome based recording. It would take this product to the next level if they added a Mac app that would allow you to record your computer window or other stand-alone applications like Microsoft Office, Photoshop etc.
2. It would be great to have human friendly and search friendly URL or slug. The custom domain is great, but it creates an ugly slug at the moment. Hopefully its an easy fix to implement.
3. As there is a video option, it would be good to have a few more editing option with the video. The video side feels a bit rushed and not enough time spent making it as good as the Tour and Guide. I don't believe you can add your own voice to video at present, although you can use the AI voice. It would also be nice to have some ability to add texts and overlays to videos. Something to consider for the future. I understand its not a video editing app. However, if it is trying to be all-in-one solution for demo's and guides then you want to be able annotate the video before sending it to someone.
4. It would be nice to be able to share the video via a link and to be able to embed it in the same way as the "Tour."
I know I have written in depth about the things I feel it needs. But its constructive feedback. I only spend time writing in-depth feedback when I really like a product. So, please don't misunderstand me, I do think its a great product, Given the fact that this is an early stage product, it has some very useful features and its a tool that could be very useful for me. Btw, I have only owned it for about 24 hours, so I may update the review at some point. Difinitely worth it given what I have seen so far. Thanks.
The future is bright for Layerpath!
It's an exciting screen-recording app that shows great promise. While still in its early stages, I believe it has the potential to compete with more established players like Arcade Software.
After some initial testing and playing around with its functions, here are several areas for improvement that I would like to see (please note that my setup is Windows 11 using a 4K monitor):
**VIDEO EDITOR**
The video editor needs more basic editing functionalities, such as:
- Allow timeline resizing (expand/shrink) using mouse scrolling or hotkeys.
- Enable click-and-drag functionality for the timeline bar.
- Add transition effects for smoother, more professional cuts between slides.
- Slow down the default zoom in/out effect speed, and perhaps even allow users to choose their preferred default duration for each effect.
- Introduce a 'Pan' setting for moving video scenes up, down, left, or right for better control.
- Increase the size of the blur and highlight target area (in the side panel) for precise adjustments; currently, it's too small for accurate placement.
- Add fade-in/fade-out modifiers for blur and highlight effects to create smoother transitions.
**VIDEO PLAYER**
The video player requires more essential playback features, including:
- An option to play video from the beginning; maybe something like a 'Previous' button.
- Better navigation like buttons (and/or hotkeys) to rewind and fast-forward by a specified number of seconds; it's just Play/Pause right now.
**PANEL UI/UX ENHANCEMENTS**
- Allow adjustable panel width for side panels and height for the video editor panel.
- Improve visibility of 'Enhancement with AI' notifications during generation and at completion, as it's sometimes difficult to tell when the process has finished with a tiny pop-up on the lower-right corner and a "Generating..." indicator at the top.
- Display usage statistics (AI Content, AI Voiceover, and Video Exports) at the top of the screen during project work for easier credit management and monitoring.
**AI VOICEOVER**
- Allow the use or upload of custom voiceovers and audio (background music, sound effects, etc.).
- Consider providing a custom voice cloning feature.
- Add more customizability for voices, such as speed and pitch adjustments.
- Introduce a greater variety of voices, including different accents, emotions and cultural tones and inflections.
**DEFAULT SETTING CUSTOMIZABILITY**
Add a "Set Default" option under Settings for menu selection items like "Language" and "Recording Category" when setting up the 'Enhance with AI' feature. Currently, I have to adjust these settings each time, which is repetitive and frustrating.
Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with my purchase and believe Layerpath is on a promising trajectory. However, it still has some way to go before it can truly mature and stand out among its competitors.
Addressing these points and adding features should undoubtedly help Layerpath unlock its full potential and compete effectively in the market. I'm excited to see how it evolves!
I have read previous answers that mentioned separating workspaces and considering the use of a custom domain. I have already purchased T4. In summary, everyone works in the same workspace and sees all the data. What I am looking for is to have separate workspaces and be able to invite teams into my own workspace or create workspaces for projects. I think you could sell LayerPath better than this. Right now, I am considering asking for a refund because the single workspace is not suitable for my work

I've been using other training authoring tools for decades. A favourite tool of mine has just gone to a subscription-based model; yuck! Layerpath could be a good replacement for that tool. What I am concerned about, though, is how Layerpath does not distinguish between a mouse-click and mouse click-and-drag. Am I missing something? Is this in the development pipeline?
Using it for the past few months, and it has really been awesome. In my opinion, the concept is ingenious. Much easier than relying on demo scripts!
Active development during the time I am using it, I really hope it stays like that.
Testing out new apps is always interesting to see if they meet your expectations. I have been searching for an app like this for quite some time and it has most of the features I need. Where I did run into issues was the inability to annotate a video portion/slide. After recording, you will often see something that could do with an arrow or further explanation in a text box. However, this isn't possible in the video slide, but it is in the other static slides.
I found the developer most responsive to my comments to the point we had a video call and shared our screens. He now has a very clear understanding, not only of what I am talking about, but also why it is a necessary feature for busy consultants.
All in all, I find the product is slightly lacking in maturity at present, but with a few more enhancements, it will be a fantastic way of sharing guides with clients and on social media.
