What tool do you use to make your PH launch video?

Question

Making video (as a non-video editor) is hard but real fun.
I love trying out new tools but for our next product video (launching tomorrow 😉) I went with iMovie and I think it is very underrated. It gets the job done, pretty well.

What are you all using to make the PH launch video? I have recently come across Jitter Video, but did not go with it this time since trying a new tool has learning curve and their free plan only supports 720p. Maybe for our next launch!

Hey Harshit.

It varies a lot of your use case and product but as many people have said, Canva is a pretty good and easy-to-use tool for this kind of video. Even though you can not do the best-looking motion design and everything with Canva but I would still consider Canva if you are any familiar with it and can not use other more advanced tools like Adobe After Effects.

I would also take a look at sites like Renderforest where you can easily create good-looking videos without any knowledge about motion design. Also in Fiverr/Upwork, you could easily find some freelancers who can do your promo videos on a quick schedule.

I'll be using Canva as usual - doesn't have many advanced features but it's so simple

Harshit Beniwal · Answer

@maxwellcdavis I completely missed out on Canva, will definitely try it out. Though iMovie gave us good results as well. Check out our product video here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/conversations-by-thursday

We haven't launched on PH yet but I've used Filmora for our video for collabwriting.com

- It was for me first time using film editing software
- I made it during a weekend
- We've got great reactions to it that made us build Collabwriting

@londonvi yeah, we used Adobe After Effects. It may be an overkill but I'm used to it.

Lidia Vijga · Answer

We use Adobe After Effects for all our videos. Our team is just used to using it. We are live on PH right now, check out the video here: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/decklinks

@shelina_william Ah, we have never tried Canva for video. @almost_designer we should give Canva a shot.

Ravil Muldagaliyev · Answer

@jaakko_hyttinen Adobe After Effects takes a lot of time to learn. Many things (even basic stuff) are not very intuitive.

Harshit Beniwal · Answer

@ralic Will check out Filmora, haven't heard of it yet. Thanks for the recommendation! :)

Ravil Muldagaliyev · Answer

@shelina_william I didn't know you could create videos in Canva. I'll give it a try, thanks for sharing!

Harshit Beniwal · Answer

@londonvi @ravil_muldagaliyev1 Yeah After Effects is definitely an overkill for me. 😅

Harshit Beniwal · Answer

@shelina_william @shahdeepa Yes, definitely.
