Indie maker's lightweight fix for product videos: 10-second text animations instead of shoots
sven_ai · x · 2026-11-08
Product videos are the biggest headache for indie developers who don't want to appear on camera or hire production help. The author's approach: explain a new feature with a 10-second text animation. SoPilot's marketing video tool generates 5–15s animations from a prompt, with editable storyboard copy and CTA. Keep it lightweight — nail the selling point first, fancy production later.
