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?

@paul_richards1, for example, I didn't use templates, which can be tempting 😉. Instead, I focused on making my message, the text, dance 🕺.
P.S. Recall looks good. I'll give it a spin.
@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 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 😉
@herwig_kusatz Awesome, thanks for the tips. Ill give it another go this weekend.

@keith_kadima_digital dude, this is not the place for promoting your launch :/
@paul_richards1 apologies Paul, didn't think you would mind.
Designer))))))
@julia_zakharova2 You mean, hire a designer or is that the name of a tool?
@paul_richards1 hire) like fancy.design
@julia_zakharova2 their prices are pretty fancy. $5,990/mo is a bit much for us right now.
@paul_richards1 This is a set of tasks, not just one. There are also specialist video editors who do just this.
I personally make a simple video myself in Movavi.
@julia_zakharova2 Ill have a look at Movavi - thanks.
I use Adobe Premiere Pro,The video is not very professional.First launch,
Lmk if you're launching as well, would love to support 🙏
@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.
