Your product demo, with a hook that stops the scroll

A demo video opens on a reaction, someone surprised or delighted, then shows your product doing the thing that caused it. Upload a short clip of your product (or let Outshot film your website) and it adds the reaction, the words on screen and the music.

Your first 5 videos are free. No card needed.

A real demo video made by Outshot

How Outshot makes a demo video

  1. 1

    You add a demo

    A 5 to 20 second clip of your product in action: a screen recording, a phone video, MP4, MOV or WebM. No clip? Outshot can film your website instead.

  2. 2

    It finds the hook

    A reaction that stops people mid-scroll opens the video, followed straight away by what caused it: your product.

  3. 3

    It adds the words and the music

    Text on screen says what’s happening, and a track carries it. Swap the reaction or the music if you want another.

Questions about demo videos

How long should my demo clip be?

Between 5 and 20 seconds; 10 to 15 works best. A longer clip can be trimmed to its first 20 seconds. Hold the finished screen for 2 seconds at the end: that’s the moment people remember.

What if I don’t have a demo video?

Outshot can film your website and use it as the demo, so a Demo video works from just your site.

What does a Demo video cost?

15 credits, since it puts a reaction and your demo together. Swapping the reaction or the music later uses 2.
