App promo video maker

An app promo video shows what an app or product does in a few seconds. In MythShot you add your brand to a series to make animated ad episodes, turn screenshots into scenes, and narrate it in your own voice.

For indie developers marketing their own app, small brands and people making ad content for social. You get a vertical promo that fits TikTok, Reels and Shorts without hiring an agency or an animation studio.

The editor's Add menu: Bubble, Photo as scene, Text, Audio, Voice-over, Sticker, Image, Card

How to make a promo video

  1. 1

    Add your brand

    When creating a series, tap “Add brand (ad)”: logo, optional product image, brand name and tagline. You confirm the brand is yours or that you have the right to use it.

  2. 2

    Build the story around it

    Use the idea line to show the problem your app solves: “When the cat mayor loses the market ledger, he gets organised with the Lumo Notes app”. The logo shows up in scenes as a sign, screen or product.

  3. 3

    Use screenshots as scenes

    In the editor, Add → Photo as scene puts your app's real screens into the video as scenes. Add feature names with the Image and Card tools.

  4. 4

    Narrate it yourself

    The voice-over tool records you from the playhead, and music ducks under your voice. Or let MythShot narrate it with the Explained in a Minute format.

  5. 5

    Label it as an ad

    Your original logo appears in the corner and at the end of every episode. When you post, use the platform's ad or paid partnership label.

The app's own screens

The screens you'll use: creating the series, the result and sharing.

Questions

Something else? Write to us

Will my logo look exactly right?

The logo inside scenes is placed by AI and may not be exact. Your original uploaded logo is shown in the corner and at the end of every episode.

Can I make an ad for someone else's brand?

Only for brands you have the right to use; your confirmation is logged with date and time. Using another company's brand, logo or product without permission is not allowed.

Who is responsible for ad rules?

Under the terms of use, you're responsible for the commercial use of branded content and for rules such as labeling it as an ad.

Will my video have a watermark?

Videos made with gift coins carry a MythShot watermark and end card. Once you buy a coin pack, the videos you make have no watermark.

Is it free, and what does it cost?

Your first video is on us: a new account gets enough coins for a first narrated video. Talking, fully animated scenes cost more coins; every video's cost is shown before you make it. After that you buy one-time coin packs; there are no recurring charges and coins never expire. If a render fails, the coins are refunded automatically. Charges and refunds happen only on our servers and are logged.
