Ask HN: Please roast my 2-min Product video

1 points by sebastiennight ↗ HN
I'm launching a AppSumo Select campaign soon, and here's the first draft of the product video.

Please roast it, tear it down, give 100% hard-hitting, no-holds-barred feedback.

*What can we improve?* How do we make it more clear and impactful?

0. This is not a review as the title states; this is a sales pitch with a call to action (buy now).

1. Have you used the product you're selling (video editing software) to produce this video? If not, why not?

Exact same response here, with strong agreement on #1

Thanks! As I replied above, I can't make AppSumo use our product to generate the video, but when we make a version for our own website it will be edited/hosted by our own product, definitely :-)

Thanks for your feedback!

0. The video is recorded by AppSumo themselves because the campaign runs on their platform, but I can provide feedback/ask for changes. I also think that "review" is not a proper term. For me it's a product video or promotion video (as I call it in the thread)
