When this is useful
Make the video understandable without the surrounding launch post. Someone may encounter it through a shared link. Include the product name and a specific task, while keeping platform-specific messaging in a replaceable opening or ending.
Adapt the script
- Introduce the maker and the product in one short beat. Use an authentic reason for building it, not a fabricated founder story.
- Show one complete workflow. The demonstration should occupy most of the useful viewing time and visibly support the launch description.
- End with an invitation to explore or give feedback. Match the CTA to the product’s actual release status and the destination where the video appears.
Why these scenes belong together
For an early-access launch, the final line can invite people to request access. Keep an evergreen version that omits “for this launch” so the footage remains useful on the product website later.
Maker introduction and demo script
Illustrative copy to adapt. Replace bracketed fields and verify every claim against your product.
Limits and checks
Check Product Hunt’s current publishing requirements when uploading. This is an editorial script framework, not a statement about platform eligibility, placement or ranking.
Your next step
Prepare the video, poster and a short text summary as separate assets so the launch page can explain the product even before playback.
