How do you make a product launch video without an agency?
Write the launch story in a few lines (problem, what's new, why it matters), add screenshots of the product, and let an AI video tool like Videly turn it into a motion-designed launch video. It takes about 10 minutes and exports 16:9, 1:1 and 9:16 for Product Hunt, X, LinkedIn and your landing page.

Most launches are launched with the wrong video.
You spent two months building the feature. Then launch day comes and the announcement video is a 6-second screen recording with a fade transition. The work that went in deserves more than that — but a real motion designer costs $5k–$15k per launch and won't fit your shipping cadence. Videly closes that gap: a launch video that feels designed, generated from the same artifacts your team already has lying around.
Built for this specific job, not a generic editor.
Storyboard from your script
Paste your launch announcement. Videly's director breaks it into scenes — problem, solution, demo, CTA — and assigns the right motion presets to each.
Screenshots become motion
Drop in product screenshots. The renderer composes them into scenes with parallax, focus pulls, and easing tuned for SaaS UI — no After Effects required.
Brand kit auto-applied
Brand colours, logo, and typography pulled from your domain (or uploaded) flow into every scene so the video reads as yours, not as a template.
Export everywhere
1080p or 4K MP4. Crop presets for X, LinkedIn, Product Hunt, App Store, and your landing page. One render — every surface.
Examples in the wild.
Series A launch announcement
30-second hero video for the funding announcement thread, plus a 6-second loop for the landing page bloom section.
Public beta to GA
Turn the changelog of what shipped during beta into a single 45-second video that tells the story.
Product Hunt launch
Vertical 9:16 trailer for the PH gallery + horizontal 16:9 for the embedded demo.
Investor update
A motion-designed recap of the last quarter's product progress — same source, different audience.
Common questions.
How do I make a product launch video without an agency?+
Start from the launch post you'd write anyway: the problem, what you shipped and the one result users get. Add screenshots of the new flow, pick an aspect ratio, and Videly turns it into a storyboard you approve before it renders. Most teams have a first cut in about 10 minutes and tweak scenes from there, instead of waiting weeks for an agency.
How long does it take to make a launch video with Videly?+
Most users go from script + screenshots to first render in under 10 minutes. Polishing and re-rendering scenes you don't like adds another 10–20 minutes depending on how picky you are.
Do I need motion design or video editing experience?+
No. Videly's director picks scene compositions and easings based on your script. You can override anything from the editor, but the default output is launch-ready.
Can I use my own brand colours and logo?+
Yes. On paid plans you upload a logo + pick brand colours once. Every video you render after that pulls them in automatically — no need to set them per project.
What aspect ratios does it export?+
16:9 (landing pages, YouTube), 9:16 (TikTok, Reels, PH gallery), and 1:1 (X, LinkedIn). Render once, export to all three.
Will it look like AI slop?+
We optimised against this specifically. Videly uses curated motion systems inspired by premium SaaS launches rather than generic AI video models, so the output reads as motion-designed, not generated.
What does it cost?+
Free tier with 3,100 credits on signup — enough for one short launch video. Starter ($19/mo) is the typical plan for founders shipping launches solo. Pro and Studio scale up for teams.
