- Confirm your product build is stable enough to record.
- Decide your audience in one sentence (for example: prospects, customers, internal team).
- Define one success outcome (what viewers should do or understand after watching).
Steps
- Plan the narrative
- Break the demo into 3-6 scenes.
- Write one goal per scene.
- Keep each scene focused on one product moment.
- Capture screen footage
- Record clean takes with minimal notifications and visual noise.
- Stop at natural breakpoints so edits are easier later.
- Add narration
- Use either synthetic voice or camera narration.
- Keep spoken lines short and conversational.
- Edit for pace
- Trim pauses and repeated clicks.
- Use zoom only at moments where viewers need precision focus.
- Add overlays
- Add text callouts for key terms.
- Add images/charts only when they clarify the story.
- Polish style and audio
- Apply a style preset or theme kit.
- Add light music and keep voice intelligible.
- Finalize delivery
- Add captions.
- Export and publish the latest version.
Check your result
- The demo has a clear beginning, middle, and end.
