How to remix this template in Magic Hour

You can create your own version of this template directly in Magic Hour by:

  1. Starting from Text-to-Video
    Go to Text-to-Video. Use a short, clear prompt that describes:

    • The product (what it is, who it’s for)
    • The setting (studio shot, in-hand, UI close-ups, lifestyle scene)
    • The style (cinematic, minimal, playful, 3D render, anime, etc.)
    • The motion (camera pans, slow zooms, transitions)

    Example prompt to remix:

    “Cinematic product demo of a minimalist mobile banking app. Close-up shots of the phone in a clean, bright workspace, smooth camera pans across key screens, soft natural lighting, premium brand feel.”

  2. Iterate with alternate prompts
    Remix by changing only one dimension at a time:

    • Style: “3D render,” “flat illustration,” “hand-drawn,” “anime UI”
    • Context: “shown in a busy café,” “on a co-founder’s desk,” “in a startup war room”
    • Tone: “high-energy launch,” “calm, premium, Apple-style demo,” “playful startup explainer”

  3. Layer in faces, characters, or talking shots (optional)
    If you want founders, creators, or customers in your demo:

    • Generate or upload a face and use Face Swap Video to place that person into existing footage.
    • Turn a static spokesperson photo into a talking clip with AI Talking Photo and then intercut that with your product visuals.

  4. Add motion from existing footage (optional)
    Already have B‑roll or screen recordings?

    • Use Video-to-Video to stylize or reimagine your existing footage (e.g., convert raw desk shots into a consistent “brand look”).
    • Use Image-to-Video for still product shots you want to turn into subtle animated loops or hero shots.

  5. Export variants for different channels
    Once you like the core concept:

    • Generate multiple cuts with slightly different prompts for A/B testing.
    • Create alternate looks (e.g., dark mode vs. light mode, premium vs. playful) from the same base idea.

Prompting tips for high-converting product demos

Creators and marketers using AI video consistently get better results when prompts are:

  • Specific about the product
    Include category, audience, and value prop:
    “B2B analytics dashboard for SaaS founders” is better than “software product.”

  • Grounded in the use case
    Show the product in context:
    “Founder reviewing metrics on a laptop before an investor meeting”
    “Marketer launching a campaign from a clean workspace”

  • Clear on visual style
    Add style tags that match your brand:

    • “Cinematic, shallow depth of field, warm lighting”
    • “Clean, product-led, Apple-style commercial”
    • “Colorful 2D illustration with bold, flat shapes”

  • Descriptive about motion
    Mention how the camera behaves:

    • “Smooth tracking shot around the product”
    • “Slow zoom into key UI elements”
    • “Quick cuts between three product benefits”
