Are these real prompts or made-up examples?

Real prompts. They come from the ngram 'First Prompt Analyzed' event for the security product launch cluster. Names, URLs, and company details have been removed, but the structure, tone direction, and technical specifics reflect what actual users submitted.

Do I need a script before generating?

No — about half of the security launch briefs in this cluster didn't include a script. Attaching a screen recording and product URL gives ngram enough to write the script for you. If you have a specific narrative structure (like the three-act vuln scanner brief), include it; if not, ngram derives the structure from the inputs.

How do I handle a technical audience vs. a business audience?

Separate the briefs. Developer-Twitter videos use minimal narration, direct technical language, and no marketing preamble. LinkedIn enterprise videos use professional tone, compliance framing, and a business-outcome CTA. Run them as two separate ngram sessions — they produce different videos from the same product.

What's the right length for a security product launch video?

63% of security launch briefs in this cluster requested 30 seconds. LinkedIn and Twitter work best at 30–45s. YouTube and website hero videos tolerate 60s. Pick by channel, not by how much you want to say — every length forces a trade-off, and 30s forces the most useful one.

Can ngram work from a GitHub repo URL for an open-source security tool?

Yes. Provide the repo URL and ngram uses the README, code context, and any linked assets to generate the brief. Attach a screen recording if the tool has a UI; for CLI tools, showing the terminal output directly is better than a motion-graphics abstraction.

What's the most common mistake in security launch videos?

Leading with the threat category instead of a specific attack. 'We solve cybersecurity threats' is not a hook. 'Your RAG pipeline is vulnerable to data poisoning after one malicious document upload' — that's a hook. The real prompts in this cluster all name a specific threat before naming the product.

Can I generate variants for different regions or compliance frameworks?

Yes — the GCC compliance example shows this approach. Run a second session with the regional compliance names (PDPA, NCA ECC, etc.) and the regional audience in the brief. ngram adapts tone, terminology, and CTA; you keep the same product story.

The short version

What a security product launch video is

A security product launch video is a 30–60 second clip that opens on a specific threat or compliance gap, shows the product neutralizing it, and ends on a CTA. Security founders and marketers make them for LinkedIn, Product Hunt, and YouTube at launch. The examples below come from real ngram briefs — normalized to remove product names and URLs — so you can see what actually works, not what a template says should work.

AI security training — LinkedIn 60s

Featured

LinkedIn-native launch for a freemium AI security training platform with hands-on hacking labs.

urlscreen-recordinglinkedin60smotion-graphics

prompt

Make a 60-second LinkedIn launch video for a free AI security training platform. The platform has hands-on hacking labs, so show a learner progressing through an exercise — not a slide deck. I'll attach a screen recording and the product URL. Motion graphics style. Tone: confident but accessible, not fear-based. End on the free signup CTA.

Watermark screen share — 30s launch

Tight 30s reveal for a browser-based DLP tool targeting legal, finance, and healthcare teams.

url30smotion-graphics

prompt

30-second launch video for a browser-based screen sharing tool that overlays visible watermarks to prevent document leaks. Target audience: legal, finance, and healthcare teams that share sensitive materials. Open on the leak risk, show the watermark appearing on a shared screen in real time, close on the compliance angle. Motion graphics.

LLM red-teaming platform — 30s

Technical 30s launch for a developer-focused AI security platform covering prompt injection and RAG poisoning.

url30smotion-graphics

prompt

Product launch video for an AI security platform that covers prompt injection, RAG poisoning, and LLM red-teaming. Show context trace visibility as the hero capability. 30 seconds. Developer audience — skip the marketing preamble and get straight to what it catches. Motion graphics. Use the product URL as the primary source.

GCC compliance SaaS — cinematic 60s

Enterprise-grade 60s launch for a regional cybersecurity compliance platform with a cinematic treatment.

urlscreen-recording60scinematic

prompt

SaaS launch video for a cybersecurity and privacy compliance platform serving Saudi Arabia and GCC enterprises. Cinematic style — this is a premium B2B product, not a startup tool. 60 seconds. I'll attach a screen recording and the product URL. Two audiences: SMBs that need compliance without a full legal team, and enterprise procurement that wants audit trails.

Vuln scanner — 3-act YouTube 30s

Structured three-act 30s video for a code-scanning SaaS, built for YouTube discovery.

30syoutubestructured

prompt

Product launch video for an automated code remediation and vulnerability scanning SaaS. Three-act structure: Act 1 — the vulnerability problem (0–8s). Act 2 — the scanner finding and auto-fixing it (8–22s). Act 3 — bold CTA to start the free trial (22–30s). YouTube-optimized, 16:9.

AI agent security gateway — dev Twitter

Open-source 30s launch for a Rust-based API-key proxying tool, aimed at developer Twitter.

urlscreen-recordingtwitter30smotion-graphics

prompt

Open-source launch video for a Rust-based AI agent security gateway that proxies API keys with Ghost IDs so they never reach third-party models directly. Developer Twitter audience. 30 seconds. I'll attach the GitHub repo URL and a short screen recording. Tone: technical and matter-of-fact — this audience doesn't want hype.

Dependency scanner — clean minimalist B2B

Honest minimalist launch using real screenshots of a dependency security scanner, no fabricated UI.

screenshotsurlscreen-recordingminimalist

prompt

Clean B2B launch video for a dependency security scanner. I'll upload 5 screenshots of the real product UI — use only those screens, no fake or AI-generated UI. Minimalist style: clean typography, no stock footage. 30 seconds. Audience is engineering managers and DevSecOps teams who will see through anything that looks staged.

Anatomy

Anatomy of a strong security launch prompt

AI security training — LinkedIn 60s

prompt

Inputs

Screen recording plus product URL — the two inputs that account for 88% of this cluster. No script needed; ngram extracts the story from what the product shows.

Negative guardrail

'Not a slide deck' and 'not fear-based' are as important as the affirmative direction. Security marketing defaults to scare tactics and static slides; this brief explicitly blocks both.

Tone direction

'Confident but accessible' is a precise instruction. It tells ngram to write for learners who are curious, not compliance officers who are worried.

CTA specificity

'Free signup CTA' closes the loop on intent. The brief names the audience (learners), the action (free signup), and the channel (LinkedIn) — ngram can set pacing and format from those three facts alone.

Why it works

Every constraint in this prompt rules out a default that would hurt the video. The guardrails ('not a slide deck', 'not fear-based') are more valuable than the affirmative direction because they stop ngram from producing the generic security-marketing output the brief-writer was trying to avoid.

Playbook

What makes a good security launch video

Open on a specific threat, not a category

"Cybersecurity is important" opens nothing. Name the exact thing the product stops — a prompt injection, a leaked document, a vulnerable dependency. The specificity is the hook.

Attach real assets — don't let ngram invent UI

88% of security launch briefs attach a URL or recording. When you give ngram real screens, the video shows an actual product. Fabricated UI reads as fake instantly to a technical audience.

Separate the technical brief from the marketing brief

Developer-Twitter and LinkedIn-enterprise need different videos from the same product. Specify the audience and channel in the prompt — the tone, jargon level, and CTA are completely different.

Use negative guardrails

The best briefs in this cluster include at least one 'do not' — 'no fake UI', 'no fear-based tone', 'no stock footage'. One clear prohibition often does more than three affirmative instructions.

End on one action

Security landing pages often list multiple CTAs. A 30s video can support one. Pick: free trial, GitHub stars, waitlist signup, or book a demo — not all four.

Name the compliance angle only if it's the product's job

Compliance framing (GDPR, SOC 2, PDPA) belongs in the video only if the product directly addresses it. Adding a compliance angle to a developer tool reads as scope creep, not positioning.

How it works

Make your own security launch video

Pick the shape that fits your product

Technical developer tools match the dev-Twitter or minimalist B2B shape. Compliance platforms need the cinematic or structured three-act approach. Choose the example closest to your audience.

1 min

Copy the prompt and swap the specifics

Replace the product category, the specific threat or capability, the channel, and the CTA with your details. Attach the screen recording or URL you have. Add one 'do not' guardrail if there's a default you want to avoid.

2 min

Generate and tighten

ngram drafts the launch video. Review the storyboard before rendering — security audiences are skeptical of overstatement, so cut anything that sounds like a promise the product can't back up.
