Product demo video production FAQs

Do I need multiple demo videos if I have more than one product?

This lets you show off the unique features and benefits of each product, making it easier for potential customers to find what they’re looking for. Individual videos can boost engagement and help convert more sales by addressing the needs of different customers.

How hard is it to make my own product demo video?

Why choose animated demo videos? 

Animated product demo videos can offer several benefits over live action or other types of demo videos. Firstly, if your product is still in the development stage, an animated video can still showcase its features. Additionally, animation allows you to include elements like close-ups or cross-sections to explain complex features more easily. Not to forget, the visual style of animations can be customized to align perfectly with your brand identity, creating a cohesive and memorable customer experience.

What’s the typical timeline for creating a product demo video? 

The time it takes to create an animated demo video can vary based on what you’re looking for and the length of the video. However, if you’re considering an animated demo video, you can generally expect the complete production process to last between 5-6 weeks.
