1. Plan (10 minutes)

Who is watching? A prospect, a new user, an investor? Pick one.
What's the "aha" moment? The one screen where the value is obvious.
Outline in three beats: the problem (10 s), the product solving it (60–90 s), the result and next step (10 s).

A demo account with realistic data. Privacy blur covers real emails, card numbers and keys if they show up.
Close unrelated tabs; zoom the page so text is readable (Ctrl++).
Set Recording quality to 16+ Mbps and 60 fps for smooth UI.

Camera on for the intro
(Pro), or start directly on the product.
Record the happy path
with voice-over. Pause (Ctrl+Shift+Y) to set up the next screen.
Right-click to zoom
on the aha moment while you explain it.

✨ Smart Edit (Punchy)
removes loading and hesitation and adds zooms on clicks.
Text callouts
for 2–3 key benefits.
Style:
background, padding, browser frame; your logo (Pro).
Captions
(Pro) for muted autoplay.

How long should a demo be?

Landing page: 60–120 seconds. Sales follow-up: 2–5 minutes. Social: under 60 seconds.

Do I need a script?

An outline is enough. Smart Edit removes pauses, so you can think while you talk.
