Chaptered Launch Film

A longer keynote-style launch film in chapters: the problem, the product at work, the numbers and a held-back reveal.

Makes a 45 to 90 s launch film (MP4) from a set recipe. Calm and confident, like a stage launch cut for the web: chapter cards break the story into parts, the real interface does the talking, and a held-back reveal lands just before the logo. The recipe sets the scene order, pacing, look and sizes; the person's words, screenshots and logo fill it. Renders locally with Chrome and ffmpeg: no video model, no key and no cost. Use when someone wants a major version or a new product needs a full launch film for the launch page, a keynote opener or YouTube, longer than a 20-second sting.

Make a long launch film for version 3 of our planner app, in chapters, with a "one more thing" at the end. Our screenshot and phone screen are in the folder.

It said back

I've made a 50-second launch film for Tidewater 3. It has two chapters and a "one more thing" reveal at the end.

File: launch-film/tidewater-3.mp4, 1920×1080 (16:9), 2.8 MB, no sound. It uses the editorial look (cream magazine-style page, tall serif type), with your logo's green #1F6F5C as the accent colour.
