I see a lot of awesome product videos people make for their product hunt launch. I wanted to make one but was told it would take a month and cost a couple thousand dollars. Are their cheaper tools that you can use to DIY it?

@julia_zakharova2 You mean, hire a designer or is that the name of a tool?

@herwig_kusatz thanks for the suggestion. I tried it but I couldn't get something I liked. The templates look a bit generic for me.
@paul_richards1, for example, I didn't use templates, which can be tempting πŸ˜‰. Instead, I focused on making my message, the text, dance πŸ•Ί. P.S. Recall looks good. I'll give it a spin.

@paul_richards1 Today we launched on product hunt and I did the simple launch text video with canva. Nothing fancy but I think it works fine. Probably the music also helps πŸ˜‰

@scofield1982 thanks Michael. Yes we are launching on Monday. Hopefully I will have my video by then. If all else fails, I will just go with Loom. Here is our launch page: https://www.producthunt.com/prod...

Launching soon!
I’m on the same boat! For a cost-effective and quick solution, I’m considering using Loom to create a personal walkthrough-style demo. It seems great for capturing screen recordings and adding a personal touch with your narration. If the visual presentation from Loom doesn’t meet my expectations, I plan to edit it using Adobe Premiere or Hit Film Express (Free) to polish it up and add any necessary enhancements. But yes if you are considering Motion Graphics I would recommend After Effects instead.

@dpakmenon cool thanks. How is the learning curve for Premiere or After Effects?

We use the Fiverr platform, where you can get excellent videos at good prices. They review the design until you are 100% satisfied.

Hi Paul, For creating Product Hunt launch videos, I exclusively use Loom. It's quick and easy to use, perfect for screen recordings and voiceovers. Here's why I recommend it: Ease of Use: Simple setup and intuitive interface. Speed: Create and share videos quickly without extensive editing. Cost: Free with basic features, which are usually enough for most launch videos. By focusing on clear, concise content, you can create effective launch videos without spending a lot of time or money.
