meta:
id: ios-production-02
feature: ios-production
priority: P2
depends_on: []
tags: [app-store, marketing, production]
objective:
- Create a compelling App Preview video for the App Store to increase conversion rates
deliverables:
- 15-30 second App Preview video
- Video for required device sizes
- Captions or text overlays
- Professional quality and pacing
steps:
1. Plan the video narrative:
- 0-5s: Hook — identity threat scenario (notification)
- 5-15s: Solution — open app, see dashboard, run scan
- 15-25s: Features — DarkWatch, VoicePrint, SpamShield highlights
- 25-30s: CTA — "Protect your identity today"
2. Record screen capture:
- Use iOS Simulator screen recording (cmd+S)
- Or use QuickTime with connected device
- Record at native resolution (no scaling)
- Use clean demo account with realistic data
3. Edit the video:
- Use iMovie, Final Cut Pro, or CapCut
- Add smooth transitions between scenes
- Add text overlays for feature names
- Add background music (royalty-free, upbeat)
- Ensure pacing feels natural (not too fast)
4. Create required sizes:
- iPhone: 1080x1920 (portrait) or 1920x1080 (landscape)
- iPad: 1200x1600 (portrait) or 1600x1200 (landscape)
- Max file size: 500MB
- Format: MOV, M4V, or MP4 (H.264)
5. Add accessibility:
- Captions/subtitles for all spoken text
- Ensure color contrast for text overlays
- Avoid rapid flashing (photosensitive epilepsy)
6. Test and iterate:
- Show to team members for feedback
- A/B test different versions if possible
- Ensure video loops well (App Store autoplays)
7. Upload to App Store Connect:
- Upload preview video for each device size
- Verify autoplay and thumbnail
tests:
- Visual: Review video quality and pacing
- Technical: Verify format and size requirements
- Content: Ensure no confidential data shown
