Videos can be only added to an existing screenshot demo.

Videos are available on our Starter, Growth, Premium, and Enterprise plans. This feature allows you to:

Adding Video Clips

Adding video clips to your demos is a very easy process. You can do this by following these steps to add videos to an existing demo:

We suggest combining SHORT videos with screens to make your interactive demo even more impactful. On the other hand, adding longer videos can result in lower engagement.

Uploading the Pre-recorded Video

Once you're in the demo editor:

Step 1: Click "Add Step" in the demo editor to start adding a new step. Navigate to the "Videos" tab in the demo editor. Click the +New button to add a video.

Step 2: Choose the 'Click to Upload' option in following modal.

Step 3: Next, a drag-and-drop dialog box will open up where you can add pre-recorded videos.

To ensure an optimal experience, keep the video and image dimensions the same.

Adding a Video from Other Demos

To reuse videos from other demos:

Step 1: In the Videos tab, click +New and select "Add from other Demos."

Step 2: Choose the video from your library and click "Add".

This allows you to reuse existing videos across multiple demos without needing to upload them again.

Using the Storylane Extension to Record Videos

Step 1: Go to the URL/ screen you wish to record and click on the Storylane Chrome extension.

Step 2: Click on "Add to existing demo" to open up the list of all your saved demos. Select the one to which you wish to add the video clip.

Step 3: Now, in the same window, three new options will appear at the bottom. Click on "Add Video". This will immediately start recording all the movements and animations that happen on the said URL.

Step 4: Once you're done recording, click on the extension again and hit the "Stop Recording" button.

Storylane's video feature smartly captures only key mouse and keyboard actions, like scrolling and typing, for clutter-free, efficient demos.

Editing Video Clips

With options to trim, split, adjust audio, and control playback speed, Storylane’s video editing features make it easy to deliver polished, interactive videos that engage viewers.

Tip: Break longer videos into SHORTS to keep viewers engaged. Short videos with interactive screens make your demo more impactful and easier to follow.

Trim Video

Trim your videos to focus on the essential parts of your demo, allowing you to cut out any unnecessary segments. This keeps your message concise and impactful.

The original video stays in the video library, to be used multiple times.

Split Video with Hotspots

Turn passive viewing into an interactive experience by splitting videos at key moments and adding hotspots.

This feature lets you add breakpoints in longer videos, where Storylane automatically captures a screenshot and places a hotspot on it. This allows viewers to engage directly with specific steps or features.

🎬 Make Key Moments Stand Out Already using video in your demos? Now, there’s a quicker way to split it—just pause the video and click to insert a hotspot at the cursor. This makes highlighting important steps even easier!

For showcasing complex processes, we recommend using this feature to help viewers engage more effectively with key interactions.

Add or Mute Audio

Add audio to provide extra context in your videos and demos. If your viewers prefer a quieter experience, they can easily mute the audio. This lets you add a more personal touch to your demos while giving viewers control over their experience.

Control Playback Speed

Give viewers the option to speed up or slow down the demo to match their learning pace. Speed through familiar sections or slow down for detailed explanations. This flexibility ensures your audience can engage with your demo capturing every important detail.
