Test your idea with a video before you build it.
The cheapest way to find out whether people want something is to show it to them. A pitch video makes an idea concrete enough to react to – long before there is a product. clipooo makes one from a few sentences.

01Why a video beats a description
People can’t judge “an app that helps flatmates share costs”. They can judge a screen that shows who owes whom and a reminder that it’s your turn to clean. A video with real-looking screens turns an idea into something people say yes or no to.
02How clipooo builds it
- 01
Describe
A few sentences: what it does, for whom, what is special. Add a name if you have one.
- 02
Design
clipooo designs three to four screens of the product with believable content – in a clean, consistent interface and colours that fit.
- 03
Storyboard
A hook, the problem, how the product solves it and a call to action like “Join the waitlist”.
- 04
Render
A motion video in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1 – ready to post, send or show.
03How to test with it
- Post it in founder communities and on X with one question: “Would you use this?”
- Put it on a simple waitlist page and count sign-ups.
- Send it to ten people from your audience and ask what they would pay.
- Make two versions with a different promise and see which one gets the replies.
04Be honest about it
The screens are designs, not a working product. Say “coming soon” or “we’re building this” – people are happy to give feedback on an idea, and you keep their trust for the launch.
