Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a product demo video be?
The ideal length depends on the platform and demo type. For social media ads and Instagram, keep demos under 60 seconds. For Amazon product pages and YouTube, 90 seconds to 3 minutes works well for feature walkthroughs, while comparison demos can run up to 5 minutes when hosted on a landing page.
What is the most effective type of product demo video for e-commerce?
Transformation demos that show the product solving a specific problem before and after tend to convert best for e-commerce. They create an immediate emotional connection by letting viewers see the tangible outcome rather than just the product's features.
Can I create a product demo video without a physical shoot?
Yes. AI video tools like Framesurfer allow you to combine stock footage, AI-generated backgrounds, text overlays, and voiceover to produce a polished demo without a camera or studio. This approach works especially well for software products, digital services, and early-stage physical products.
What should every product demo video include?
Every product demo should open with the core problem your product solves, demonstrate the solution clearly, and close with a specific call to action. Social proof elements like a customer result or testimonial clip, when available, significantly increase conversion rates.
How do I optimize a product demo video for Amazon versus YouTube?
Amazon favors demo videos that are under 3 minutes, start with the product in use within the first 3 seconds, and avoid external branding or URLs. YouTube demos benefit from a strong hook in the first 5 seconds, chapter markers for longer videos, and keyword-rich titles and descriptions to support search discovery.
