App Launch Videos: From Icon to Install in 45 Seconds | Maxtech Inter

An app launch video competes with every other app, not with cinema.

Where this fits

An app launch video competes with every other app, not with cinema. This guide skips the theory and keeps what has worked across hundreds of shipped campaigns.

The essentials

• Open on the phone doing the thing users want, mid-action
• Thumb-stopping first frame: motion plus face or type
• Three taps maximum shown — each with visible payoff
• Ratings and download badges are content, not decoration
• Ship vertical, square and wide from the same storyboard

The proof point

27% — install lift during a campaign built around a 45-second hero and 6-second bumpers.

The bottom line

Show the itch, scratch it twice, stop.
