How this video was made
This is a screen recording of the Glim app at phone size, on a demo account with Glim's example photos. The taps were made automatically in a browser: each one shows as a soft circle, and an orange outline marks what the video points at. The animations and the film you see were made with AI from those photos, as every animation in Glim is. There's no sound: the captions do the explaining, and they're written out here, with what's on screen at each moment.
