How to edit a video for floor-plan software demo

Turn screen recordings of sketch, furnishing and walkthrough stages into a story for design software marketers. Show the actual starting state, one real interaction and the resulting screen or output.

Give the video a clear purpose

Show the actual starting state, one real interaction and the resulting screen or output.

Think about what design software marketers need the viewer to understand first. Use the opening to establish that idea, then let the next shots add detail.

Build your shot list

  1. The actual sketch screen
  2. The plan being edited
  3. A furniture or door control
  4. The cursor demonstrating a choice
  5. The rendered walkthrough supplied as footage

Put the moments in order

Open with the actual sketch screen. Connect it to the plan being edited and a furniture or door control, then use the cursor demonstrating a choice to add detail. Finish with the rendered walkthrough supplied as footage.

Use exact visible feature names and supplied explanatory text.
