We are excited to announce the open-source release of FrameFuseVid, a desktop application designed to solve one of the most persistent pain points of remote work: managing multiple Zoom cloud recording files.
The Problem
If you have ever recorded a Zoom meeting with cloud recording enabled, you know the drill. You end up with a folder full of separate files:
- An MP4 of the active speaker
- Another MP4 of the gallery view
- A separate MP4 for the screen share
- An audio file (M4A)
- Transcript files (VTT/SRT)
Combining these into a single watchable video traditionally means downloading everything, importing into a complex video editor like Premiere or Final Cut, syncing timelines, and manually arranging layouts. Most people just skip this step entirely.
"There's no capability to combine two recordings on Zoom. In general, this would require downloading the two files and using some other video editor to combine them."
— Zoom Community Forums
This is not a niche problem. With 300 million daily active Zoom users and 59% of employees spending 5+ hours per week in video meetings, the volume of fragmented recordings is enormous. Industry analysts estimate enterprises face a $42 billion training video crisis due to unusable recording libraries.
Our Solution
FrameFuseVid automates the entire workflow into four simple steps:
- Detects your files automatically — point it to your Zoom recording folder and it identifies which file is which based on naming patterns.
- Lets you choose a layout — Picture-in-Picture, Side-by-Side, Sequential, or Audio Merge. See a live preview before committing.
- Processes locally — your recordings never leave your computer. FFmpeg runs locally and renders the final video.
- Exports a single file — MP4, MKV, or MOV. Share it on your LMS, cloud storage, or intranet.
Key Features
- Interactive PIP — drag the overlay to any position, adjust size from 10% to 50%
- Subtitle Burning — import VTT/SRT transcripts and hard-code them into the video
- Quality Presets — Fast (quick encode), Medium (balanced), Slow (best quality)
- Real-time Progress — percentage, timecode, and FPS during encoding
- Cross-platform — macOS, Windows, and Linux builds via electron-builder
Who Is This For?
FrameFuseVid is built for anyone who records Zoom meetings and needs a better way to combine and share them:
- L&D teams creating training content from recorded sessions
- Sales teams building demo libraries with presenter + screen share
- Executives producing polished town hall recordings
- Compliance teams archiving recordings with embedded transcripts
- Educators publishing lecture recordings to LMS platforms
Why Open Source?
We believe tools that handle sensitive corporate recordings should be transparent and inspectable. By releasing FrameFuseVid under the MIT license, we enable:
- Trust — anyone can read the code and verify that files stay local
- Contribution — the community can add features, fix bugs, and support new platforms
- Customization — enterprises can fork and adapt it to their specific workflows
