Turn a screen recording into a SaaS product demo video
A prompt recipe built from the real briefs ngram users write. Drop in your product, your recording, and your one feature — generate a clean 30-second demo in minutes.
What this template is
A SaaS product demo video template is a reusable prompt plus scene structure that turns a screen recording (or a product URL) into a short, narrated walkthrough of one feature. ngram fills the structure — hook, feature walkthrough, outcome, CTA — so a product marketer or founder only has to name the product, the pain point, and the feature, then generate.
The template prompt
Copy it, replace the slots in brackets, and paste it into ngram — or hit “Use this template” to open the editor with it prefilled.
Create a 30-second product demo video for [product-name], a [product-category] for [audience]. Follow my uploaded screen recording scene by scene. Open on the problem: [pain-point]. Then walk through [key-feature] solving it, narrating each step against the real UI — do not invent fake screens. Tone: [tone]. End on the logo with the line [cta]. Voiceover language: [vo-language]; if no voiceover, use on-screen captions plus light background music.
| Slot | What to put | Example |
|---|---|---|
| [product-name] | Your product name | Helmrun |
| [product-category] | What it is, in plain words | incident-response dashboard |
| [audience] | Who it's for | on-call engineering teams |
| [pain-point] | The problem you open on | alerts get lost across five tools |
| [key-feature] | The one feature you demo | the unified alert timeline |
| [tone] | Voice + feel | modern, technical, calm |
| [cta] | Closing line | Start your first on-call shift on Helmrun |
| [vo-language] | Narration language | English |

- 3
Outcome
5sShow the after-state — the result the feature produces. One number or one clear win.
- 4
Logo + CTA
3sLand on the product logo and the closing line. Calm, confident, no hard sell.

Common variations
15-second teaser
Drop the outcome beat and tighten the walkthrough for a pre-launch social tease.
Reduce to 15 seconds. Keep the problem hook and one feature step only. End on the logo.
60-second deep demo
Walk through two or three features for a sales or onboarding audience.
Extend to 60 seconds. Demo [key-feature] plus two supporting features. Add a short narrated intro.
No-voiceover captioned cut
For LinkedIn and feed autoplay where sound is off by default.
Remove the voiceover. Use concise on-screen captions and light background music only.
Vertical cut for Reels
Same demo reframed 9:16 for short-form feeds.
Switch to 9:16. Keep captions large and centered; crop the recording to the active UI region.
