Product Hunt launch videos

Launch day is decided by people skimming. The first asset in your gallery does more work than your tagline, your description and your comment thread combined.

Built for the gallery and the repost

A 16:9 cut for the Product Hunt gallery and a 9:16 cut for the X and LinkedIn posts you will write an hour later, both from the same storyboard.

Works with the sound off

Gallery autoplay is muted, so every spoken claim also lands as on-screen type. A silent viewer still gets the pitch.

Survives a midnight launch

Nothing to render locally, nothing to upload from a laptop at 3am. Paste the URL, watch the cut, export when it is right.

Questions

How long should a Product Hunt video be?

Under 60 seconds for the gallery and under 30 for the social posts. Rollsee targets about 26 seconds for the 9:16 vertical and about 50 for the 16:9 launch format.

Should the video open with our logo?

No. A logo card spends your best three seconds on a name nobody knows yet. Open on the product doing something and put the brand mark at the end, which is how the Director structures every cut.

Can I make it the night before launch?

Yes, and that is the normal case. First cut in about a minute, re-directs in under two, and the watermark-free export renders in a few minutes.
