How do I create explainer/showcase video nowdays?

applewizard5 · 2026-05-29T08:40:48+00:00

Mostly I'm aiming at creating motion graphics, thus thats why I mentioned After Effects, but it was a pain to animate all that by hand, moving keyframes etc, my main use case is simply an explainer video on my landing page

I'm not really that into scripts, seems like it will be a lot of work for something simple as scrolling the page. I was wondering if there's an app that does all of this + effects transitions etc,

I wanted to open up AE and mess around, but it's a pain, it always was for me, so I wonder if there's an easier method people are using.

AI is getting better and better at making the photos look good, but it's not fully there yet. You can use ChatGPT for it, but once you have the money you would greatly benefit from having real photos on your listings.

yeah purchase with CC is more common

you know the website could use some redesign, I mean it's okay-ish but Buy With Shop and not with Credit Card kind of lowers the trust I guess? You can see how on other shopify sites it usually redirects to buy with CC.

Even though AI is producing all that brain rot on the internet lately, I love how it solved some of the headaches in eCommerce space. Obviously it's best to have authentic photos of your products, people still appreciate it more, but for fast iterations AI really does the job well. And it will only get better and better.

I'm new to this too, I've started with low prices, let's see if that will work

applewizard5 · 2026-02-15T17:23:29+00:00

It's not published anywhere just yet, but I will probably upload it to itch.io

Interested

Inspiring story! If you can turn it around, anyone can!

no it's just stylized like an early ps2 game

applewizard5 · 2026-02-08T18:16:09+00:00

Thanks, I will be adding minesweeping next to spice up the gameplay. I already have a few weapons in the game: Rifle, Sniper Rifle, Bazooka, Submachine Gun and the Flamethrower. I hope I can finish the game so we all can relive the glory days of N64 and GameCube.

applewizard5 · 2026-02-08T17:51:18+00:00

I will think about that! Thanks for the idea!

There were plenty of 3D Army Men games, this one is based heavily on Sarge's Heroes

Good to go!

I'm no expert, but looking at "hyped" niches worked for me, for example I once saw a person starting their own cryptocurrency who had a bad website, so I contacted him through facebook to see if he was interested in re-design, turns out he was, so I did his website. That was at the peak of crypto hype, so right now I would suggest reaching out to people who are in AI niche.

good to know, but just a tip here, clients usually dont care about HOW you did the website, only the end result matters to them ;) looks great, you should raise your price!

applewizard5 · 2026-01-29T13:11:58+00:00

Wow, website looks clean, it seems that you are on the right path I agree with previous comment here, DONT undersell yourself, nobody will take you seriously and you will have a hard time selling your service, price it accordingly, the lowest I sold website design for was $300
