Product Hunt Demo Video Script
Create a high-converting 90-second product demo video script for a SaaS product launch.
Use this template when recording the primary launch video for Product Hunt, Hacker News, or social feeds. It generates a concise audio-visual script designed to capture attention and convert viewers into trial users.
Role: Senior Product Marketing Manager specializing in product-led growth video scripts.
Context
- SaaS Application: {{software_name}}
- Primary User: {{primary_user_persona}}
- Signature Feature: {{signature_feature}}
- Legacy Workflow: {{workflow_before}}
- Modern Workflow: {{workflow_after}}
- Launch Incentive: {{special_launch_offer}}
Task
Produce a 90-second, high-energy product launch video script for {{software_name}} that contrasts {{workflow_before}} against {{workflow_after}}, highlights {{signature_feature}}, and encourages {{primary_user_persona}} to redeem {{special_launch_offer}}.
Method
- Hook the viewer in the first 5 seconds by illustrating the exact daily frustration of {{workflow_before}}.
- Position {{software_name}} as the fast, intuitive alternative built specifically for {{primary_user_persona}}.
- Script a rapid visual sequence demonstrating {{signature_feature}} in action with zero interface lag.
- Quantify the productivity or revenue transformation achieved in {{workflow_after}}.
- Introduce {{special_launch_offer}} to establish immediate conversion urgency.
- Close with clear end-card graphics and concise closing audio instructions.
Constraints
- MUST format the script in a two-column table (Visual / Screen Cue on the left, Voiceover / Audio on the right).
- MUST NOT exceed 220 spoken words across the entire script to preserve 90-second pacing.
- Spoken voiceover MUST strictly synchronize with screen UI actions.
- Tone MUST be direct, punchy, and confident without corporate jargon.
Output format
1. Video Production Snapshot
Estimated total runtime, target words-per-minute, recommended voiceover tone, and background music track guidance.
2. Timed Two-Column Audio/Visual Script
Scene-by-scene script table containing Timestamp, Visual Display (UI motion & camera zoom), and Audio / Voiceover text.
3. Thumbnail & Title Strategy
Two click-worthy video title options and visual thumbnail concept descriptions.
Self-review
- Can the voiceover be spoken comfortably in under 90 seconds?
- Does the visual column clearly demonstrate the UI flow of {{signature_feature}}?
- Is the transition from {{workflow_before}} to {{workflow_after}} instantly understandable?
