A Product Hunt launch video that shows your app working
Point Flowcase at your live app, describe the flow you want to show, and get a clean, paced MP4 ready for the gallery before the clock hits 12:01 AM Pacific.
Launch day rewards one thing: a video that makes people understand your product in the first ten seconds. Hunters scroll fast, and a static screenshot rarely lands the hook. A short, well-cut demo does.
Flowcase builds that demo from your real app. You give it a URL and a flow, it drives the screen, eases the camera into each click, paces the scenes, and renders the file in the cloud. No screen-recording retakes, no editing timeline, no missed launch window.
Ready before midnight Pacific
Describe the flow, render in the cloud, and have a launch-ready MP4 in hand without an all-nighter in an editor.
The camera looks where it matters
Auto-zoom eases into every click and field, so hunters scanning fast never lose the thread of what your product does.
Show your real account
Save a login session once and Flowcase records as you, so the demo shows real data instead of an empty sandbox, with your password never exposed.
Re-cut on a last-minute change
Tweaked a feature an hour before launch? Re-run the same flow and get a fresh, fully paced video, not another editing session.
How a launch video comes together in Flowcase
Start with your live URL. Then describe the flow in plain English ("sign up, create a project, invite a teammate, export the report") or hand over exact scripted steps if you want precise control over every click and field. The AI agent plans the run and captures a clean pass through your app.
From there, the director pass takes over. It groups the raw clicks into named, paced scenes with timing and importance, the way an editor lays out a timeline. Auto-zoom eases the camera into each button and input, then pulls back out, so viewers always look exactly where the action is.
Captions are generated automatically, the cursor moves on smooth eased curves, and the whole thing renders in the cloud up to 4K. You download an MP4 and drop it straight into your Product Hunt gallery.
Why this beats recording it by hand the night before
Hand-recording a launch demo means screen-capture software, a steady hand on the mouse, ten takes to get one clean run, then an hour in an editor adding zooms and text. At 11 PM before launch, that is exactly when things break.
Flowcase removes the manual run entirely. The cursor is eased and consistent, the zooms are placed for you, and the captions come from the steps you described. Tweak a feature an hour before launch, re-run the same flow, and get a fresh cut, not a fresh editing session.
Example launches you can build today
A solo founder shipping a writing tool scripts six steps: open the editor, type a prompt, accept a suggestion, format a heading, export to Markdown, share a link. Flowcase zooms into each action and renders a 35-second 1080p clip with captions and no watermark, ready for the gallery.
A two-person team launching a dashboard product wants their real account on screen, not a blank sandbox. They save a login session once on the Connections page, and Flowcase records as their account without ever seeing the password, so the demo shows real charts and real data.
An agency relaunching a client's checkout flow gives a plain-English goal: "add a product to the cart and complete a test purchase." The agent plans the clicks, the director pass names the scenes, and the team exports a 4K master for the gallery and a shorter cut for social.
Frequently asked questions
- What makes a good Product Hunt launch video?
- Keep it short, around 30 to 3 minutes, show the core value in the first ten seconds, and let viewers watch the product actually work. Flowcase handles the pacing with a director pass that groups clicks into timed scenes, plus auto-zoom and captions so the point lands even on mute.
- How long does it take to make one?
- Most launch videos come together in minutes. You point Flowcase at your URL, describe or script the flow, and the cloud render produces the MP4. The slow part of doing this by hand, the repeated takes and manual editing, is gone.
- Can I show my real, logged-in app instead of a demo account?
- Yes. Save a login session once on the Connections page and Flowcase records as your account. It captures real data on screen without ever seeing or storing your password.
- What format and resolution do I get for the gallery?
- You get an MP4. The Free plan exports at 1080p with a watermark, Starter at 1080p with no watermark, Pro at 1440p, and Scale up to 4K. A 1080p or higher master uploads cleanly to Product Hunt.
- Do I need exact scripted steps, or can I just describe the flow?
- Either works. Give a plain-English goal and the AI agent plans the clicks and typing for you, or provide exact scripted steps (click this, type that, confirm the result) when you want full control over every frame.
- Can I make several cuts for different channels?
- Yes. Re-run the same flow to produce a gallery master and a shorter version for X, LinkedIn, or your launch email. Each render is paced and captioned from the steps you describe.
