Feature video
Show the feature working in the actual product. Capture the interface first, then build the video around the clearest user action and resulting state.
Decide what the viewer must see
Write one sentence for the feature and one for the proof: “The user does X; the product visibly does Y.” Choose a short task that reaches that result without relying on narration. If the user supplied a particular feature or flow, keep it central.
Use the product's real colors, typography, and UI. A simple browser or device frame can add context. Avoid decorative captions over controls the viewer needs to read.
Capture the real interaction
- Inspect the working app and identify the starting state, user action, and final state.
- Set a suitable capture size and clear disposable test data. Never expose private accounts, keys, messages, or customer data in footage.
- Capture the real browser, simulator, or screen. Use a pointer or touch indicator only when it clarifies the action.
- Record a little time before and after the action so the cut has room to breathe.
For a web app, use the browser or recording tools available in the environment. For a mobile app, use a simulator or device capture. If only a supplied recording is available, edit that recording and state any limits in what it proves.
