Read the video transcript

Hardcoded secrets sit in plaintext in project files, where they can be exposed. With 1Password CLI, you store each secret in a 1Password vault. Then, in your environment file, replace each value with a secret reference: a URI that points to where the secret is stored. The file holds references, not secrets. At runtime, op run loads the secrets and runs your command in a subprocess, with them available only for the duration of the process. Explore 1Password CLI.

What this template is

A security product demo video template is a reusable prompt plus a four-beat scene structure for producing a short, narrated walkthrough of one security capability — detection, scanning, prevention, or threat intelligence. You bring a product URL or screen recording and name the threat your tool stops. ngram writes the script, maps it to scenes, and generates the video. The audience is typically security buyers, SOC analysts, or conference attendees who need to see the tool working before they care about anything else.

Scene structure

What the template builds

Four beats, 30 seconds — the shape security demo prompts consistently converge on.

  1. 1

    Threat hook

    6s

    Open on the specific attack or gap — a real scenario your buyer recognizes. Text and motion graphics only; no product UI yet. This is the moment buyers lean in.

  2. 2

    Live capability

    16s

    Show the documented workflow using real product footage or verified commands. Use clear callouts to connect each step to the risk it addresses.

  3. 3

    Outcome

    5s

    Explain the supported result of the workflow. Use only results visible in the source; keep any illustrative diagram distinct from the product.

  4. 4

    Logo + CTA

    3s

    Land on the product logo and the closing line. Quiet confidence. No urgency tactics.

Variations

Common variations

15-second threat teaser

Hook and capability only — tight enough for a paid ad or a LinkedIn scroll-stopper before a product launch.

tweak

Reduce to 15 seconds. Keep the threat hook and one capability step only. Cut the outcome beat. End on the logo.

60-second technical deep-dive

Walk through two or three capabilities for a sales call follow-up or a conference booth demo screen.

tweak

Extend to 60 seconds. Demo [key-feature] plus two supporting capabilities. Add a brief narrated intro naming the product category.

GitHub URL only

Open-source or developer-facing tools — just paste the repo URL and let ngram pull what it needs.

tweak

Input is a GitHub repository URL only. Extract the product description, key capabilities, and any screenshots from the README and docs.

No-voiceover captioned cut

For LinkedIn and X where autoplay runs muted — captions carry the story.

tweak

Remove voiceover. Use concise on-screen captions and light background music only. Keep text readable at small sizes.

Frequently asked

Do I need a screen recording to use this template?

No — about 85% of security demo prompts attach a URL or recording, but either works on its own. If you only have a product URL or GitHub repo, paste it. ngram pulls the product page, README, or documentation and uses that as source material. A recording gives you real UI footage; a URL gives you a structured starting point.

Will ngram fabricate screens or alerts I didn't show?

Not by default. The prompt explicitly tells ngram not to invent interfaces. For security products specifically, fabricated UI can destroy credibility with technical buyers — real footage is the point. If you want generated UI as a placeholder, you can ask for that in the editor after seeing the draft.

How do I handle a product with multiple security capabilities?

The 30-second template covers one capability on purpose — security buyers make faster decisions when the demo is focused. For multi-capability products, use the 60-second deep-dive variation and walk through two or three features in sequence.

What visual style works best for security demos?

Motion-graphics is the top choice (about 46% of prompts) because it lets you layer callouts and text over your footage without making it look like a raw screen capture. Realistic works well when your product footage is already polished. Minimalist is a good fallback when the recording quality is rough.

Can I use this for a defense or government audience?

Yes. Adjust the [audience] slot to name your specific audience — "defense program managers," "government security teams," or "federal acquisition evaluators" — and ngram calibrates the narration tone and technical depth. The threat hook beat works the same way regardless of sector.

What aspect ratio should I export?

Use 16:9 for your website, sales deck, or conference screen, 9:16 for LinkedIn and short-form feeds, and 1:1 for paid social ads. Prepare and review each ratio as a separate edit from the same brief.
