    Product Hunt strongly recommends putting a launch video, and I see a lot of launches with videos. Some of them are product walkthroughs with a screen recording and others are more polished videos with motion graphics and animations. Makers who launched their products with videos, did you make it yourselves, in-house or did you use an service? How did you make the videos if you made it yourselves/in-house?

    I am currently working with a company - Happy to keep you updated once I have my final iteration. Don't want to recommend a company without knowing what the final product will look like. Lots of people have suggested: upwork / fiverr - I found some content I liked and reached out to the company making it.

    @dzaitzow Thanks for sharing, are you launching soon as well? I did not see the teaser. Good luck in any case!

    @grvsharma Not launching too soon but we're starting to build out some of the IP needed for a launch. Our product is relatively flushed out but we will be launching to our beta cohort / mailing list first so no rush to go live on here!

    I helped with some ph videos, I can tell that most of them make it themselves.

    @grvsharma Sure, I'd say most use Canva or Loom.

    @suchback Awesome Adam! We might seek your feedback too if you are up for it. What tools are people using for such videos?

    Creating a launch video for your product hunt product launch is crucial. I strongly recommend that you create the video with your in-house team as it will give you a more hands on experience. If you do not have an in-house team to make the video, I urge that you get it made by an agency. Do not try to make this launch video on your own as there are chances that you will screw it royally.

    @pankhurigarg Thank you Pankhuri, do you also have tools recommendation. What are people using these days. We are also building a video editor and would like to reduce the friction exponentially on making demo and product education videos.
