Launch videos that catch attention on social — without a motion designer

Social feeds punish flat UI recordings. Attention goes to motion that feels editorial — a soft zoom into the CTA, a click whoosh, captions that teach without sound.

Cuts that travel

  • Open on the payoff, not the login screen
  • Burn in captions for mute autoplay
  • Keep punches sparse so the feed doesn’t feel spammy
  • Export crisp local MP4 so re-encoding on LinkedIn hurts less

Reuse the master timeline

Film once in Screen Beaver, then crop and trim for each network. Agents can re-run the walkthrough when the UI changes so your social library stays current.
