Automatically speed up your speedpaints. Save hours in editing.

No need to record a full speed video and then speed it up to create your speedpaint. That only leaves you with files that are 100s of GBs that you later need to manually speed up. Instead, Hustl automatically records a speedpainting ready to share. Say goodbye to QuickTime and OBS – Hustl is a native speedpainting recorder, not just another screen capturing software.

Integrates seamlessly with your existing video editing process.

Hustl works with the most widely accepted and standard video formats (.mov, .mp4), so you can still edit Hustl videos with your favorite video editing software (Premiere, Sony Vegas, etc.) If you like editing your videos, doing nice transitions, talking over them... Hustl is your best ally. It will do all the heavy-lifting work of creating the speedpaint for you, so you just need to add the last finishing touches in the edit process.

Designed for long painting sessions. Like yours.

Paintings can take very long – sometimes even 10s of hours. Don't worry: Hustl does not only support long recordings, it has in fact been designed for that purpose. It will record your 20h painting without problems. Plus, you can pause the recording at any moment and resume later with a fresh eye. You can even change the recording speed in the middle of a speedpainting to focus more prominently on a certain detail. The sky is the limit, it's all up to your imagination.

Capture only the active app.

Record one app, and only one app. Even if you're frequently tabbing and switching over from Photoshop to your browser. Set a specific app as a target and Hustl will prevent any other screens to be part of your time-lapse by automagically ignoring all other activity happening outside of your target app. This life saver will help you drastically cut down editing time – if any!

Ultra high-definition. 4K & 8K support. Sharp details.

Crisp. Big. Fresh. Hustl 2 is adding support for the next generation of ultra high-definition video. With a capture area matching your monitor's size, Hustl can now export in up to 8K resolution. Enjoy the quality and the precision of every pixel on the screen. Details are now sharper than ever before – you'll never get a blurry time-lapse.

Pause your time-lapse. Resume anytime.

Sometimes the task at hand is just too big to get it done in one sit, and sometimes you just need a break to catch up with emails and browse social media away from the camera's eye. Hustl 2 lets you pause and resume your recording at any time, as many times as you need. Plus, you'll get useful stats about the time-lapse when you pause so you'll always feel in control over the final product.

Fix the aspect ratio. Or go fullscreen.

You requested it, here it is. Go fullscreen in a single click, or even set up Hustl to record time-lapses in fullscreen mode by default. Or get to adjust every capture area with pixel perfect precision and aided by the tool to lock the aspect ratio. Your choice.

Slow down. Or speed up. Select the final duration and control every detail.

Adjust output video format and select export time: choose how long the time-lapse will be by changing the amount of frames per second (FPS) the output video will use. For example, if you recorded 8 hours at one screenshot every 10 seconds, you can choose your final time-lapse video to be 4min (at 12fps), 1.5min (at 30fps), 48 seconds (at 60fps)... condense it as much as you want, it's your choice!
