You're a founder or indie hacker with a Product Hunt launch locked in.
The landing page is live, your community is primed, and your maker comment is drafted.
Then someone asks: "What about the launch video?"
You know it matters.
Products with video average 384 upvotes on Product Hunt, compared to 167 without.
So you open QuickTime, hit record, and walk through your product.
Ten takes later, you have shaky clicks, a buried cursor, and 15 seconds of dead air where you lost your train of thought.
Launch date doesn't move Your launch is scheduled. Your community is notified. There's no buffer for a two-week video production cycle.
384 vs 167 upvotes Products with video average more than double the upvotes of text-only launches on Product Hunt
First 3 seconds or nothing Product Hunt visitors scroll fast. If your video doesn't hook immediately, they never see your product in action.
DIY looks DIY Raw screen recordings with invisible cursors and dead air signal 'side project,' not 'product worth upvoting'
38% of Product Hunt launches still ship without video. Every one of them pays for it in lost visibility.
From "we'll just skip the video" to "which agency did you hire?"
The Old Way
Before ngram
The ngram Way
After ngram
It's 11 PM the night before launch. You've recorded your screen four times. Each take is worse than the last. The cursor vanishes into the UI, you clicked the wrong menu twice, and there's a 12-second stretch of silence while you tried to remember your next talking point.
You upload that same rough recording. Twenty minutes later: dead air removed, smart zooms on every click, captions for silent scrolling, and a hook that shows your product solving a real problem in the first three seconds.
You upload the least bad version because the alternative is no video at all. Launch morning, you watch the products ranked above you. Their videos are crisp, captioned, and hook you in the first frame. Yours looks like a screen capture with extra steps.
Launch morning, your video plays on loop. Viewers watch past the 30-second mark. Comments mention how polished the product looks. Three makers ask what tool you used to make the video.
You check the analytics. Most viewers dropped off at second 7. The upvotes trickle in, but they never accelerate.
You finished launch prep before midnight. No agency invoice. No revision cycles. No delayed launch date. Just a video that does what Product Hunt videos are supposed to do: earn upvotes and convert visitors into users.

Launch-ready videos from what you already have
ngram takes your raw materials, whether that's a rough screen recording, a landing page URL, or a feature description, and builds a Product Hunt launch video optimized for upvotes.
1
Start with a screen recording
Drop in your raw demo walkthrough. ngram auto-cuts the dead air, adds smart zooms on clicks, emphasizes your cursor, and overlays captions for the majority of Product Hunt visitors watching on mobile without sound. You review the script and storyboard before anything renders, so the narrative hits hook, problem, demo, differentiator, and CTA in under 60 seconds.
2
Or start from a description
Paste your product's landing page URL, a feature doc, or just describe what your product does. ngram generates the script, plans the visual sequence, and creates a complete launch video with AI visuals, voiceover, and motion graphics. Perfect when you don't have a polished demo ready yet but launch day is approaching fast.

Either way, you get a 45-to-90-second video structured for Product Hunt: hook in the first 3 seconds, focused demo, clear differentiation, and a CTA that converts browsers into upvoters.

Launch on schedule, every time
When your launch video takes 20 minutes instead of 2 weeks, the video stops being the bottleneck. Launch when your product is ready, not when the freelancer finishes revisions. No more postponing launch day because the video isn't done.
More than double the upvotes with video
Products with video average 384 upvotes versus 167 without. A polished video doesn't just look professional. It signals that you're serious about what you've built, and the Product Hunt community rewards that with engagement.

Keep your launch budget for distribution
