Product Hunt launch video
Product Hunt launch video from your URL before launch day
Launch day on Product Hunt is a single shot, and the gallery video is the first thing hunters watch. Paste your product URL and Rendrio writes a punchy script, adds AI voiceover, motion graphics, and music, then renders a 16:9 MP4 you can upload to your listing in minutes.

The problem
The gallery video decides your first impression
Hunters scan the gallery before reading a word. A crisp launch video that states what you built and who it is for in the first five seconds earns upvotes, while a static screenshot or no video at all gets scrolled straight past.
You are coding, not editing, before launch
The week before a launch is chaos, and learning a video editor is the last thing a founder wants. Rendrio turns your landing page into a finished launch video without a timeline, so you spend the run-up on the product, not on rendering.
Generic explainers do not match launch energy
A slow corporate explainer kills momentum on a hype-driven platform. Rendrio uses the hype tone and modern motion graphics styled like Linear and Vercel launch films, matching the energy hunters expect on the day you actually go live.
What a Product Hunt Launch video is for
Product Hunt gallery video
Render a 16:9 MP4 that opens with your one-line pitch, shows the product through your own screenshots, and ends on a clear call to try it. Upload it as the lead media so it autoplays at the top of your listing.
Launch-day tweet and thread
Post the same video on X to drive hunters to your page. A moving, voiced clip in the launch thread pulls far more clicks than a static image, and you can render a 1:1 cut sized cleanly for the timeline.
Embed on your landing page
Drop the video at the top of the landing page you send traffic to on launch day. Visitors who arrive from Product Hunt instantly understand the product and are warmer by the time they reach your signup form.
How to make a great Product Hunt Launch video
Nail the one-liner on your page first
Rendrio scripts from your website, so your hero headline should state exactly what the product does in one sentence. A sharp one-liner becomes a sharp opening hook, which is the single most important second of any launch video.
Use the hype tone and 16:9
Product Hunt favors energetic, fast launches. Set the tone to hype and render 16:9, the native gallery format, so your video feels at home next to other top launches instead of appearing letterboxed or awkwardly cropped.
Render extra ratios for cross-posting
On the Pack plan you get 9:16 and 1:1 from the same generation. Schedule the vertical cut for Instagram and TikTok and the square cut for X, so your launch reaches every channel on day one.
Questions
What makes a good Product Hunt launch video?
It hooks in the first five seconds with a clear one-liner, shows the product through real screenshots, and ends on a call to try it. Keep it under a minute. Rendrio structures this across six scenes with the hype tone, so your gallery video matches how hunters actually watch.
Can I make a launch video the night before?
Yes. Rendrio needs only your URL and produces a preview in about ninety seconds and a final render in two to three minutes. You can generate, review, and upload a polished 16:9 launch video the night before, or even the morning you go live, with no editor.
What size should the video be for Product Hunt?
Product Hunt displays gallery media in 16:9, so render that ratio as your lead video. Rendrio also exports 9:16 and 1:1 on the Pack plan, which are ideal for cross-posting the launch to Instagram, TikTok, and X from the same generation.
How much does a Product Hunt launch video cost?
Preview free with no credit card. A free account includes three generations and one HD render, which is enough for a full launch. Beyond that, a Single Render is nine dollars and the Pack is twenty-nine dollars for five renders in all ratios. Credits never expire.
