How to Create Generative Video Product Demos

How to Create AI-Driven Product Demos

01
Outline Your Product Demo with AI
Start by describing your product and its key features. Use Descript’s AI tools to generate a concise, engaging script that highlights your value proposition and keeps your message clear. Focus on the essentials — you can always refine details later as you build your demo.
02
Choose a Look and Voiceover Style
Once your script is ready, choose the visual style that fits your product — clean whiteboard, bold 3D, or something more playful. Then decide how you want your narration delivered: an AI voice, your own recording, or a mix of both. Descript makes it easy to experiment until everything feels on-brand.
03
Generate and Refine Your Video
Once your script and visuals are ready, let Descript’s AI Video Maker bring everything together. It’ll generate a first draft with your chosen narration, captions, and animations. Then, review the video — adjust pacing, smooth transitions, and fine-tune the voiceover until it feels natural and polished.

Questions? We have answers.

Why should I use generative video for product demos?
Generative video saves time, looks professional, and makes it easy to highlight product features fast. With Descript, you can update visuals, styles, or voiceovers anytime — without redoing the entire video.
How long does it take to generate a demo video?
Usually just a couple of minutes. Longer scripts or more complex visuals might take slightly more time, but it’s still far faster than traditional editing — so you can focus on refining your message, not waiting on render times.
Can I edit the AI video once it’s generated?
Absolutely. You can reorder scenes, adjust timing, swap visuals, or update narration anytime. With Descript, you have complete creative control — polish and perfect your video until it’s exactly how you want it.
