New Promo Video Feedback
https://youtu.be/YP04foqEwFU
Hi, IH,
I'm looking at doing a relaunch type thing in the not too distant future for my project CritiMon and I've had a go at creating a little promo video. I've uploaded it to YouTube and would love to get some feedback from the IH community. I am no in way a graphics/media person so please be gentle :)
The link to the promo video is https://youtu.be/YP04foqEwFU
I'd say that if it's a promo, than the average viewer isn't ready to see/read any code yet. I'd skip the configuration part altogether and just demo features.
I'd also somehow highlight things that are different from pager duty, sentry, victorops, rollbar, and a ton of other services in this niche.
The caption at the bottom is not super useful, especially when the video is stopped: https://d.pr/i/bilULt . I'd either remove it or make bigger, move higher, and remove weird decorations around it. Just keep the big white text on a plain black background, it would be much easier to read.
Also, I think you have a typo at the last slide https://d.pr/i/1t2yST
Hope this helps :)
Thanks for the feedback.
I did wonder about showing the code part, the reason behind it was to show how simple it is to add the library - but the landing page will show that so maybe the video shouldn't.
It is similar to other providers you mentioned, the main difference is the cost - one of the reasons why I built my own, and the other main thing is that from what I've checked from other competitors that my one is the only one officially supporting C++ - maybe I should try and highlight that somehow.
I checked and checked for typos, there's always 1 I miss :)
Thanks again for the feedback.
