Demo Video Creator

Create polished product demo videos by automating browser interactions.

Overview

Plan the demo sequence (pages, interactions, timing)
Record frames using Playwright CDP screencast
Encode to video with FFmpeg

Quick Start

Prerequisites

Clawdbot browser running (
```
browser action=start profile=clawd
```
)
App accessible via browser (localhost or remote)
FFmpeg installed for encoding

Recording Workflow

Start the Clawdbot browser if not running
Navigate to the app manually or via
```
browser action=open
```
Customize
```
scripts/record-demo.js
```
for the target app
Run:
```
node scripts/record-demo.js
```
Encode:
```
bash scripts/frames-to-video.sh
```

Planning a Demo

See

for guidance on:

Timing and pacing
Interaction patterns
What makes demos compelling

Scripts

scripts/record-demo.js

Template Playwright script that:

Connects to Clawdbot browser via CDP
Starts screencast capture (JPEG frames)
Executes demo sequence (navigation, clicks, hovers, typing)
Saves frames to output directory

Customize for each demo:

```
DEMO_SEQUENCES
```
array - define pages and interactions
```
OUTPUT_DIR
```
- where to save frames
```
FRAME_SKIP
```
- skip every Nth frame (lower = more frames)

scripts/frames-to-video.sh

FFmpeg encoding script with presets:

```
mp4
```
- H.264, good quality/size balance (default)
```
gif
```
- Animated GIF for embedding
```
webm
```
- VP9, smaller files

Usage:

./frames-to-video.sh [input_dir] [output_name] [format]

Interaction Patterns

// Navigation
await page.goto('http://localhost/dashboard');
await page.waitForTimeout(2000);

// Click element
await page.locator('button:has-text("Create")').click();
await page.waitForTimeout(500);

// Hover (show tooltips, hover states)
await page.locator('.card').first().hover();
await page.waitForTimeout(1000);

// Type text
await page.locator('input[placeholder="Search"]').fill('query');
await page.waitForTimeout(500);

// Press key
await page.keyboard.press('Enter');
await page.keyboard.press('Escape');

// Scroll
await page.evaluate(() => window.scrollBy(0, 300));

Tips

Timing: 2s on page load, 0.5-1s between interactions, 1.5s to show results
Frame skip: Use 3-5 for smooth video, 8-10 for smaller files
Quality: 85-90 JPEG quality balances size and clarity
Resolution: Browser window size determines output resolution
Loops: GIFs should loop seamlessly - end where you started
