What tools do you guys use to create those nifty animations for a product launch?

These animations can be about explaining the pain point or just doing a product demo.

    If you are creating a video about a speculative product you can use one of many tools that let you import layered mock files and equip them with interaction and custom transitions to demonstrate the end result.

    If you already have a product then I find it the best approach to write a script, then screen record the demo of the actual product. (Pro tip 1: to stay within digestible length demonstrate only a few strongest features and USPs. Pro tip 2: use 1280-1440 screen resolutions and/or cmd+ to proportionally increase your web app so the text in UI is legible even when the video is not in full-screen.) There's a ton of good software for that, depends on your budget and needs.

    Rotato is super useful for then placing those screen captures on a device mock and rotating/animating the scene(s). https://www.rotato.xyz

    Videobolt is great for easily creating professional motion-graphics for intro/outro scenes and/or title overlays. https://videobolt.net
