LaunchReel AI / app demo video
An app demo video built from your real app screens
An app demo video has one job: show someone what your app does before they tap install. Send LaunchReel AI your app's website or store page and we turn it into a brief, a storyboard and a mobile app promo video that uses your real screens, colors and icon.
Vertical first, because that is where people watch
You can export a 9:16 cut for Reels, Shorts and TikTok and a 16:9 cut for your website and YouTube; the second format costs 5 credits. Screens sit inside a clean device frame, and captions are burned in so the video makes sense without sound.
The vertical cut is composed for the phone screen, not cropped from the wide one, so your app screens stay large and the captions stay clear of the areas that social apps cover with buttons and usernames. Both files are 1080p, with 4K available, and the music is licensed for commercial use.
What goes into the brief
We read your landing page and store listing, then write back what we understood for you to confirm before any storyboard is drawn. If the brief gets your audience wrong, you correct it in a sentence, and the storyboard is built from the corrected version.
- Who the app is for and the moment they would open it
- Three to six features, each tied to one screen
- Onboarding or core-loop screens worth animating
- Your app icon, palette and typeface
Real screens, animated
We animate the screenshots you provide: taps, scrolls, transitions between screens. Because text is kept as real text where we rebuild it, labels stay readable at phone size. If you change a feature name, only that shot re-renders.
The walkthrough structure is explained in the app demo video template. Also have a web dashboard? See the SaaS explainer video page. A browser companion? See Chrome extension demo videos.

Questions
My app isn't in the stores yet. Can you still make a video?
Yes. We read whatever public page you have, and after checkout you add links to screenshots or TestFlight screens in the brief on your order page.
Can I use the video in App Store or Google Play listings?
You own full commercial usage rights to the delivered video. Store preview specs vary, so tell us in the brief if you need a specific length or size.
Do you use stock footage of people holding phones?
No. The video is motion design built from your app's real screens, icon and colors.
