What are the biggest challenges you’ve faced while creating product demo videos?
by•
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!)

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
@shravan_rathish Got it, that makes sense. Cuts is the feature that I was exactly looking for. Will keep exploring the current features for now, but definitely keeping the Enterprise plan in mind. Thanks for the update!

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.

The auto camera movement is really good

@joey_zhu_seopage_ai Thanks a lot Joey! It has been one of the most loved feature on Clueso :)
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 🚀

@kamma_milady Totally hear you – syncing with a changing UI is brutal. We built Clueso to cut through that mess so teams can focus on message > polish.
Also really aligned on your take around strategic demos. Glad you like what we are building!
