The cleverest part of this build is how the board footage gets made: instead of capturing the screen, the whole-board video is rebuilt from saves and KiCad's autosaves. In my view that should give a much cleaner clip than a raw capture, since the layout appears as a series of tidy snapshots rather than a recording of a cursor flying around.
The setup records two streams while the maker works: the editor view and the whole board. A render dialog inside KiCad handles the final video, with side-by-side or stacked output available. During rendering there are choices for layers, hole and via style, and the copper layer, so the finished clip can be tuned rather than accepted as-is.
Other details stand out too. Recording only runs while the PCB Editor is active, and it pauses during alt-tab, sleep, and lock screen. Installation goes through the KiCad Plugin and Content Manager, either by grabbing the -pcm.zip from Releases or dropping the -manual.zip into the plugins folder. Rendering needs Python 3 plus pymupdf, pillow, and ffmpeg on the PATH, and testing happened on Windows 11 with KiCad 10.0.7.
The open question is platform support: the maker asks whether it works on Linux, macOS, or older KiCad versions. Testing so far has been on the maker's own boards, and the maker also noted that a full-screen recorder like OBS might suit tutorials better because of speed.
