## In this lesson

### Start in your app (0:09)

Here's an empty document, beside our app's code. Creator Terminal started in the app's folder, so it knows the app. Open the palette, and choose Capture from kinlo.

### Chrome opens on it (0:21)

It starts the app's dev server, and opens Chrome on it, in a window of its own.

### The trips, captured (0:26)

We'll take the whole page. From the palette, Capture the page in Chrome. And there are our trips, on the stage. Every part is a layer, named as the code names it.

### Open a trip (0:38)

In the app, a tap on a trip opens its page. Let's send Chrome there. From the palette, Capture a web page, and give it Lisbon's address.

### Capture it again (0:49)

Now Capture the page in Chrome, once more. Look at that. Lisbon's card opens into its page, and the other trips fade away.

### From the top (0:58)

From the top: press zero, then space. There: the card grows into the page. Space to stop.

### A clip for the store page (1:06)

For the app's store page, a short video does it. Click export, then MP4, then Export file. Two hundred kilobytes.
