What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced while creating product demo videos?
Creating demo videos sounds simple... until you’re 10 takes in, stuck editing ums, or re-recording because the UI changed again.
Whether you’re a founder, marketer, or part of a product team – we’ve all been there.
What’s tripped you up the most when trying to ship a solid product video?
Would love to hear your war stories, tips, and hacks.
(And if you’ve used Clueso, curious how it's helped!)

The narative,
For some reason I keep trying to memorize it and keep forgetting some parts.
I end up recording 50 times before it is finished.

@gapostolov You should try out Clueso. You don't have to worry about the script or proper delivery. Clueso will automatically help you create studio-grade demo videos with a professional voiceover with just a few clicks.
Just gave Clueso a try with a few of my recent workflow recordings and honestly, it delivered better than I expected. It turned a raw walkthrough into a clean, usable product demo without me having to redo anything.
The part that stood out to me was how it handled the pacing. My screen recording wasn’t perfect, but the output still felt structured and polished. It also helped me quickly generate step by step content that I’d usually have to rewrite manually in Notion or Docs.
One thing I’m still figuring out: for longer flows that jump between tabs or tools, is there a way to break it into digestible sections or chapters automatically?

@arun_tamang Yes, we have a feature called Cuts that automatically splits longer videos (over 10 minutes) into bite-sized clips based on topics. However, this feature is currently available only to users on our Enterprise plan

The auto camera movement is really good
Great question Ashutosh! If I would say then I will not say that it is one there are many.
Here are some of them:
Creating a script in your mind - You sit down to make a video, and suddenly a flood of ideas rushes in. You're excited but overwhelmed - so many thoughts, but which one should you actually use?
Choosing the Right Theme - This is the soul of your video. It should connect with your audience, match your message, and give your content direction.
Collecting elements - Backgrounds, clips, music, voiceovers, icons, animations - gathering them all feels like a mini scavenger hunt.
Choose plateform - Instagram? YouTube? LinkedIn? Choosing the right platform shapes how your video is formatted and how your audience engages with it.
You rewatch it. Again. And again. Each time, you notice tiny errors - text timing, audio glitches, a missing cut. Back to editing! And finally… it’s done! You hit play, proud of what you’ve created. But wait -“That text shouldn’t be there… ugh!”
😩 Your brain goes: 💥💥💥Welcome to the beautiful chaos of video creation. 😄
I hope this resonates with you all :D
This hits so close to home, Ashutosh.
One of the biggest challenges I’ve faced (and seen repeatedly with clients) is syncing storytelling with evolving UI. You could spend hours crafting the perfect flow, only for a minor design update to break continuity. Add in voiceover tweaks, background noise, and timing issues, and suddenly a "quick demo" takes two full days.
That’s why I always emphasize clarity over perfection. Sometimes, raw but well-structured demos communicate more effectively than ove -polished ones.
I also help SaaS founders and product teams by ghostwriting product demo scripts, explainer email flows, and onboarding copy so their videos aren’t just beautiful, but strategic and conversion-focused. If your team ever needs support creating compelling, human-centered messaging around your features, I’d love to collaborate.
Thanks for creating space for this convo. Loving what Clueso is building keep going strong 🚀
