# Your Product Hunt launch video

About half the products that reached Product of the Day since 2021 had a video in their gallery. Pick a template, paste your website and it comes out with your logo, colors and words, ready for YouTube.

## Templates for it

- [Product Launch](https://opusmotion.com/c/launches/product-launch.md): A bright 20-second launch: your brand joins in a color sweep, five pieces fan out, a request types, steps shine and the result lands. Free to export · 20 s · 16:9.
- [Agent Launch](https://opusmotion.com/c/launches/agent-launch.md): A 42-second launch film for an AI product: a request types itself, an agent is set up and switched on, your product flies in in 3D, and results land as messages. Premium, $24 per export · 42.1 s · 16:9.
- [Starts Here](https://opusmotion.com/c/launches/next-starts-here.md): An 18-second brand film: a line types itself among floating objects, your sky opens on your logo and a fan of your work, a search types itself, one piece lifts out of your grid, and your logo closes. Premium, $14 per export · 18.5 s · 16:9.
- [Discover & Play](https://opusmotion.com/c/launches/discover-play.md): A 16-second 3D film: a ring of your covers, a camera that dives into one while its player forms, a ring that spins under your words, a wall of picks that builds itself, a question over one cover that flips into a player card on a straight row of covers, and your logo alone. Premium, $13 per export · 15.6 s · 16:9 and 9:16.
- [Slash Drop](https://opusmotion.com/c/products/slash-drop.md): A 10-second feature drop: a 3D key is pressed and your feature types out, its options unfold as rows that catch 3D tiles, a cursor picks one and the action writes itself around it, the input zooms through into your real product, a slash wipes it from working to done, the option's card opens, your colour slashes over the frame with the line in giant type, and the lockup closes the loop. Free to export · 10 s · 16:9 and 9:16.
- [Glyph Mosaic](https://opusmotion.com/c/products/glyph-mosaic.md): A 9.6-second product montage in a 2x2 mosaic: four panels cut on their own beats (a glass lens over giant type, words that light up dot by dot, a word that opens around a photo, real product shots, falling 3D objects, a figure on your colour) and your logo assembles from dots on the last hit. Free to export · 9.6 s · 16:9 and 9:16.
- [Origin Hero](https://opusmotion.com/c/products/origin-hero.md): A 10-second product hero loop: what the product is made of spins into the product seen from above, the camera tilts down to its front, the name lands giant, its notes fall into a drop, the drop opens onto the campaign scene with the price, and your symbol turns back into the opening object. Crisp mood: dark ground, the product whips in and its notes slide in as cards. Free to export · 10 s · 16:9 and 9:16.
- [Feature Trio](https://opusmotion.com/c/products/feature-trio.md): A 21.6-second voiced film: your headline with a rotating word in a pill, the pill opening into your first feature, a card that flips into the second, a typed request, a dive into the third, and your three screens fanned under your name and button. Premium, $16 per export · 21.6 s · 16:9 and 9:16.
- [Canvas Tour](https://opusmotion.com/c/products/canvas-tour.md): A 19-second, voice-led tour of your product: your headline is a layer on an open canvas, the camera pulls back to the big picture, dives into three real screens with a selected caption each, and draws the closing frame where your button gets clicked. Premium, $15 per export · 19 s · 16:9 and 9:16.

## What Product Hunt asks for

- The video is optional and goes in as a YouTube link. There's no file upload.
- Paste the full YouTube address and don't set the video to private, or it won't load.
- Upload it before launch day, so YouTube has finished processing it.
- The gallery needs two images or more. Product Hunt recommends 1270 × 760.
- The thumbnail is square, 240 × 240 recommended, under 3 MB. A GIF only moves on hover, so its first frame is what people see.

## How to make it here

1. Pick a launch template below. 15 to 20 seconds is enough to show what your product does.
2. Paste your website. The template comes out with your logo, colors and words, and you can change any line in the studio.
3. Export it in 16:9 at 1080p and upload it to YouTube, public or unlisted.
4. Paste the full youtube.com/watch address in your launch's video field, and give the YouTube video a thumbnail that matches your first gallery image.

## Questions

### Can I upload the MP4 straight to Product Hunt?
No. Product Hunt only takes YouTube links. Upload the MP4 to YouTube (public or unlisted) and paste its full address in the launch form.

### How long should it be?
Product Hunt doesn't set a length. Most launch templates here run 15 to 20 seconds, and Agent Launch runs about 40 with a voiceover.

### Will YouTube flag the music?
Each template's music is licensed for the video you export, on any platform. Just don't register the track, or a video with it, in YouTube Content ID. If a claim shows up anyway, write to us and we'll help clear it.

### Can I use the video after launch day?
Yes. Your export is yours to use commercially: on your landing page, in posts on X and LinkedIn, in ads and in emails.

### Is it free?
Free templates export in 1080p at no cost. Premium ones are priced per export, paid once, and each card shows its price.
