Choose the flow that proves the promise

Choose the single flow that proves the headline promise of the landing page, not a broader tour of the app.

Trim the route to what a new visitor sees

Trim the route to exactly what a new visitor would see first, with any login handled by a prepared demo account.

Check the candidate against the headline

Check the finished candidate against the page's own headline before placing it above the fold.

The landing page for a Base44 app is usually written after the app itself exists, which means the video sitting above the fold has a specific job: prove the headline is true. A visitor reading "manage your team's tasks in one place" wants to see that happen, not read three more paragraphs about it. Because the app was generated rather than hand built, that proof matters even more. A visitor who suspects the whole thing is a thin AI generated shell will look for the moment the video either confirms or undercuts that suspicion.

GogoScreen builds this kind of video from a web app URL and a one line hint about what to show, returning a narrated, edited MP4 with click zooms, cursor smoothing, dead air removed, and captions burned in. A demo account can be used when the flow sits behind a login, which is common for a Base44 build since many of these apps come with account handling already wired in from generation. None of this guarantees a first render will be usable. Review time belongs in the schedule before the video goes live.

What exactly should the headline promise?

Start from the words already on the landing page, not from the app's full feature list. If the headline says the app tracks expenses, the video needs to show an expense being added and reflected somewhere, not a tour of settings, integrations, and account preferences. A landing page video that shows something adjacent to the headline, rather than the headline itself, reads as evasive even when nothing dishonest was intended.

Landing page element	What the video should confirm	What undermines it
Headline	The core action the headline names, actually happening	A related but different feature instead
Subheadline	Any qualifier the subheadline adds, such as who it is for	A generic flow that ignores the stated audience
Call to action	That the visible result matches what a new user would get	A result that depends on setup not shown

A landing page demo video guide covers the broader placement question in more detail if the headline and the app diverge in ways that need editorial judgment rather than just a recording decision.

This is a real choice, not a formality. Some landing pages benefit from showing the sign in step, because it signals that the product has real accounts and is not just a static demo. Others cut straight past it, since a login screen rarely proves anything a skeptical visitor cares about. Decide this before recording, because it changes what the hint should say and where the video's opening frame lands.

Whichever way the decision goes, use a demo account created specifically for the recording rather than any real user's credentials. Supplied credentials 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 precise handling, worth repeating exactly rather than summarized loosely, since landing page copy tends to get copied elsewhere on the site.

What should the opening frame contain?

The first two or three seconds carry the most weight on a landing page, since many visitors will not watch past them before deciding whether to keep scrolling. Open on a state that already looks like the product doing its job, not a loading screen or an empty dashboard. If the generated app defaults to an empty state for a new account, prepare data ahead of the render that makes the opening frame legible without look fabricated or like customer information.

Confirm the opening frame reads clearly with the sound off.
Remove any placeholder or lorem ipsum text left over from generation.
Check that the visible data looks like a plausible example, not a real customer's records.
Make sure the call to action on the page and the result in the video point at the same outcome.

How does this differ from a general demo video?

A general Base44 demo video can afford to explain a flow at a normal pace with more context, since a visitor who clicked through to watch it has already shown some intent. The landing page placement gets none of that patience. It needs to be shorter, faster to read visually, and aimed at confirming exactly one claim rather than giving a fuller picture of the product. Writing the landing page hint as a trimmed version of the general demo hint, rather than as a separate exercise, keeps the two videos consistent without duplicating the review work.

Treat the two as siblings produced from the same underlying route rather than as competing efforts. If the general demo video already exists, its hint is a reasonable starting draft for the landing page cut, trimmed down to the single strongest moment rather than the fuller sequence. If neither exists yet, deciding which one to record first usually comes down to which surface needs the proof sooner.

What is the short version of this process?

Choose the single flow that proves the headline promise of the landing page, not a broader tour of the app.
Trim the route to exactly what a new visitor would see first, with any login handled by a prepared demo account.
Check the finished candidate against the page's own headline before placing it above the fold.

What should you check before publishing it above the fold?

Play the finished video next to the page copy. Read the headline, then watch the video, and ask whether someone who had never seen the product would agree the headline was demonstrated rather than just claimed. If a retry is needed, that is normal: roughly one render in five needs one, and that number does not change because the placement is more visible. Every new account gets 60 seconds of video once, watermarked, with email verification required to download it, which is often exactly the length an above the fold placement wants anyway. Beyond the free 60 seconds, videos use time from a plan or a top up, and time is used only when a render actually succeeds.

Where do the other Base44 pages fit?

Once the landing page video is settled, the same underlying app usually needs several other assets built around different jobs. A Product Hunt launch video has its own gallery constraints separate from the landing page cut. Handing the build to a non technical reviewer is covered in the guide on how to share a Base44 project with a client. A portfolio entry usually wants the app shown running for a different audience entirely, and a review walkthrough frames the same flow around whether the build did what was asked rather than whether it looks polished.

Clarifications

Before you start

What belongs above the fold on a Base44 app's landing page?

A short video of the one job the app does best, shown from a recognizable starting point to a visible result. It should let a visitor judge the product without reading the rest of the page first.

Should the landing page video include the sign in screen?

Only if seeing the account step helps the visitor trust the product. Many landing pages trim past it and start the recorded flow just after sign in, using a demo account prepared for the render.

How long should the above the fold video be?

Short enough to watch before scrolling. GogoScreen gives every new account 60 seconds of video once, watermarked, which is a reasonable ceiling for this placement regardless of which plan is used afterward.
