Pick one job

Choose one user job the generated app can complete, from the screen a visitor lands on to a result that is visible without extra explanation.

Open the route by hand

Open the exact route in a browser first and confirm what a new session actually shows before any hint is written.

Write the hint and review

Write a one line hint naming the start, the action, and the result, then review the finished candidate against that route before it goes anywhere public.

A Base44 app usually exists before its landing page does. Someone described what they wanted in a prompt, the generator produced a working frontend, a backend, and often a set of user accounts, and the result is reachable at a URL within a few minutes. A demo video is what turns that working app into something a visitor who was not in the room can actually evaluate. The job is not to explain how the app was generated. It is to show what a person using it would see and do.

GogoScreen takes a web app URL and a one line hint about what to show, then returns a narrated MP4 with automatic editing: zooms on clicks, cursor smoothing, dead air cuts, and burned in captions. It can use a supplied demo account when the route sits behind a login, which is common for a Base44 build since account handling is frequently part of what the generator sets up by default. None of this is a promise that a particular Base44 app or a first render will come out usable. Plan review time before the file goes anywhere a stranger will watch it.

What should the video actually show?

Pick the one job a new user would try first, not the full list of entities the generator created. If the app manages inventory, showing "add an item and see it appear in the list" is more legible than opening every generated screen in sequence. The viewer needs a start, an action that changes something, and a result they can see without narration filling in the gap.

Part of the flow	What it should establish	What to leave out
Start	The screen a real visitor would land on first	A tour of the generator's admin or settings panels
Action	One operation that changes visible state	Several unrelated features chained together
Result	The outcome, visible without extra explanation	A claim the footage itself does not support

A Replit app demo video faces a similar starting question with a different deploy target, and it is worth comparing notes on scope even though the underlying platform is not the same. The point that carries over either way: one job, shown completely, beats several jobs shown partially. If the landing page above the fold is the eventual placement rather than a standalone guide, the autoplay demo video landing page guide covers how a muted, looping placement changes what the opening frame needs to carry on its own.

If the generated app defaults to requiring a sign in, decide early whether that screen belongs in the finished video or should be trimmed around. Some viewers need to see that a login exists, because it tells them the product supports separate accounts. Others just want the working feature and the login is friction. There is no single right answer here, only a decision to make before recording rather than after.

A demo account prepared specifically for the render is the safer route regardless of the choice. Any credentials supplied are encrypted, used for a single render, then deleted. When a storyboard is planned first, the credentials are kept encrypted for that session and deleted at most two hours after their last use. That is the exact shape of the handling, and it is worth stating precisely rather than in looser terms. Do not use a real user's login for a public asset, and do not assume every generated app handles a failed sign in attempt gracefully. Test it first.

How do you prepare the route before recording?

Open the URL yourself in a fresh browser session. Note what actually appears: an empty dashboard, a seed data set left over from testing, an onboarding modal, or a redirect to a setup wizard. Any of these can eat the opening seconds of a video if they are not accounted for.

Confirm the exact starting URL a new visitor would reach.
Clear or replace any leftover test data that should not appear publicly.
Check whether a modal, consent banner, or setup prompt sits over the first screen.
Decide, before writing the hint, whether the login step is part of the story.

A beta launch demo video usually needs this same pass, since a beta build tends to carry more rough edges than a finished product. Treat the walkthrough as preparation, not as the final quality check.

How specific should the one line hint be?

Name the starting point, the single action, and the expected result in one sentence. "From the dashboard, create a new project and show it in the project list" gives the render something concrete to aim for. A vague hint like "show the app" invites a wandering path through screens that were never meant to be shown together, and it makes review harder afterward because there is no clear target to check the result against.

Match the wording in the hint to the language the app itself uses. If the generated interface calls something a workspace, do not describe it as a folder in the hint, since a mismatch between the narration and the on screen labels reads as a mistake to anyone paying attention. This matters more for a generated app than a hand built one, because the exact terminology can vary between one Base44 project and the next even when the underlying job is similar.

What is the short version of this process?

Choose one user job the generated app can complete, from the screen a visitor lands on to a result that is visible without extra explanation.
Open the exact route in a browser first and confirm what a new session actually shows before any hint is written.
Write a one line hint naming the start, the action, and the result, then review the finished candidate against that route before it goes anywhere public.

Where does review fit before this goes public?

Watch the candidate against the route you opened by hand. Check that the opening frame makes sense muted, that no unrelated screen sneaks into the middle of the sequence, and that the narration describes what actually happened rather than what you meant to happen. If the candidate does not match the intended job, that is a reason to adjust the hint and try again, not a reason to publish it anyway. Roughly one render in five needs exactly this kind of retry, and building that expectation into the schedule keeps a single failed attempt from becoming a deadline problem.

Every new account gets 60 seconds of video once, watermarked, with email verification required before download. After that, you pay for video time: Starter is $29 for 15 minutes a month, Pro $79 for 45 minutes, and Business $199 for 120 minutes, and top ups start at $10, about $2.07 a minute, and never expire. Time is used only when a render succeeds, held at submission and returned automatically if the render fails, so a bad first attempt does not cost anything beyond the wait.

Where does the video go after it passes review?

Once a candidate has been checked, match it to the surface that needs it. The app's own landing page video usually wants a shorter, above the fold cut of the same flow. A Product Hunt launch video has its own length and aspect constraints for the gallery. Sharing the build with a non technical reviewer is a different job again, covered in the guide on how to share a Base44 project with a client. A portfolio entry usually needs the app shown running rather than described, and a formal review walkthrough needs the flow framed around what was asked for rather than what looks impressive.

For an AI agent flow that includes a QA pass before release, the AI agent QA demo video guide covers a related review discipline, and the AI agent landing page demo guide is useful when the placement decision is the harder part of the job.

Clarifications

Before you start

What should a Base44 demo video show?

Show one user job inside the generated app, from the screen a visitor lands on to the saved or visible result. A tour of every entity and every generated screen is harder to follow than one complete task.

Does a Base44 app need a login for the demo?

Many Base44 apps ship with an account system already wired in, so the recorded route often starts at a sign in screen. A demo account prepared for the render keeps the candidate free of any real user's data.

Will the first render always show the app correctly?

No. Roughly one render in five fails or needs a retry, and that applies to a Base44 app the same as any other web app. Review the candidate before using it anywhere public.
