From idea to demo video in one afternoon — a founder’s checklist

You don’t need a production crew to ship a launch cut. You need a short beat list, a clean recording surface, and a studio that finishes the polish after you hit stop.

Afternoon checklist

• Write 5–7 beats (problem → click → payoff)
• Record display, window, or tab in Screen Beaver
• Let auto zoom and SFX land; trim the dead air
• Add captions (and VO if the channel is mute-heavy)
• Export H.264 locally for the launch page

When to hand it to an agent

If the walkthrough is repetitive — signup → dashboard → settings — wire MCP once and ask Cursor to film while you review the cut. Same afternoon, less clicking.
