Short SaaS explainer videos, from your product page
A classic SaaS explainer runs 60 to 90 seconds with a script, a voiceover and custom animation. LaunchTrailer makes the short version: 25 seconds that say what your product does, show it working and end with a call to action, built from your product page in minutes.
Free, no card needed. Subscribe at $49 a month only if you want the videos.
What's on screen
Hours slip. Invoices shouldn't. The HourSlip invoice screen: invoice the unbilled time, export a clean PDF, mark it sent, then paid. Built for freelancers: round entries up; VAT, GST or tax; per-client currency; hour budget warnings. Private by design: no account, daily local backups, runs fully offline. Pay once for Pro: HourSlip Pro is $29 once. Track the hours. Send the invoice.
When a short explainer is enough
Feeds, ads and landing page heroes rarely hold attention for 90 seconds. A 25-second video with a hook, your real interface and three features explains the idea and sends people to your page for the rest.
When to hire a studio instead
If you need narration, a story with characters, or an original concept built around your brand, hire a motion designer or studio. LaunchTrailer is template-based and has no voiceover.
Every claim checked
Explainers often promise more than the product does. Here, each factual line shows the quote from your page behind it, and nothing renders until you confirm it.
