Your launch video, in an afternoon
Describe the launch, iterate with your agent, and render the final cut on your machine in time for the launch post. The agency route takes weeks; credit tools meter every export.

How to make one in CoAnimator
- 01
Describe it
A brief in plain language: what the video shows, the moments that matter, the tone. No timeline surgery.
- 02
The agent builds the scenes
Claude Code, Codex, Gemini or ours — the agent authors each scene as editable code on the templates and skills the studio ships.
- 03
Narration lands timed
The built-in voiceover plugin renders the narration part by part and places every line on the timeline where it belongs.
- 04
Review in the editor
Timeline, media panel, live stage. Steer with feedback — "slow the intro", "swap that screenshot" — and watch it hot-reload.
- 05
Render locally
MP4 exports run on your machine, in-app or headless via the coa CLI. Unlimited, watermark-free, nothing uploads anywhere.
the math
What an agency afternoon costs
Agency
Two to four weeks of briefs, drafts and review rounds. Every revision after delivery is a new invoice.
Credit tools
Fast first draft, then per-export fees and credit pools — and the output is baked pixels nobody can edit next month.
CoAnimator
One afternoon of describe-review-refine with your agent. The project stays editable for launch v2, localized cuts and the inevitable last-minute rename.
built for launch week
Every cut from one project
The launch film, the 30-second cut for X, the square teaser, the Product Hunt loop — all renders of the same editable project. Change the headline once and re-render every format locally.
FAQ
What’s the best way to make a product launch video without an agency?
An agentic studio is the fastest route: in CoAnimator you describe the launch to an AI agent such as Claude Code, Codex, or Gemini CLI, and it builds the video as an editable project while the stage updates live. You direct revisions in plain language and render the final MP4 on your own machine, on Windows or macOS. The Copilot SDK v2.5 launch video, which passed 417K views on X, shipped exactly this way.
Can I update a launch video if the date slips or the product changes?
Yes. A CoAnimator launch video stays a project, not a baked export: reopen it, tell the agent what changed — the rename, the new screenshot, the reworded claim — and re-render locally. The 30-second cut, the square teaser, and the Product Hunt loop all come from the same files, so one edit propagates to every format.
Can CoAnimator do kinetic typography and animated logo reveals?
Yes — kinetic type is one of CoAnimator’s core motion-graphics styles, and launch videos lean on it hard: words that land on the beat, logos that assemble from strokes, title cards timed to the narration. Because the animation is code, the agent can sync every beat to the voice track instead of you nudging keyframes. The motion-graphics template ships with finished sample projects showing the style.
Is CoAnimator better than hiring a motion designer for a launch video?
For a launch with a fixed date and a normal budget, CoAnimator usually wins on turnaround: an afternoon of describe-and-refine instead of a multi-week booking, and unlimited local re-renders when copy changes at the last minute. A senior motion designer still wins on bespoke craft — a signature title sequence or an award-reel aesthetic is worth the fee. Many teams do both: the designer for the brand film, CoAnimator for every release after it.
How long does a launch video take?
An afternoon is the band we hold ourselves to for a full launch video — description to final render, including narration and revisions. Simpler demo clips are faster.
Can it match our brand?
Yes — colors, type and motion style live in the project files, and the agent applies them across every scene. Feed it your brand page and ask.
