app-preview-video
by Eronredapp-preview-video helps you plan, script, and optimize App Store Preview videos and Google Play promo videos for product pages and landing pages. Use this app-preview-video guide to choose the right opening, fit platform specs, and turn screen recordings into a conversion-focused preview video.
This skill scores 78/100, which means it is a solid but not top-tier listing candidate: directory users get a clearly triggerable, workflow-oriented guide for producing App Store Preview and Google Play promo videos, but should expect some missing support material and a test-like repository signal. The repository is still useful enough to justify installation when the user needs app video planning/spec guidance, especially for iOS preview videos and Play Store promo videos.
- Strong triggerability: the description explicitly names when to use it, including phrases like “app preview video,” “promo video,” “30 second app video,” and “video specs.”
- Operationally clear workflow: the SKILL.md outlines an initial assessment, asks for app ID/platform, recording status, conversion goal, and localization scope.
- Substantive content: the body is large (5686 chars) with headings, code fences, repo/file references, and platform spec guidance for iOS and Play Store videos.
- No install command or companion files: there are no scripts, references, resources, or assets, so execution depends mostly on the instruction text alone.
- Experimental/test signal: the repository includes a “test” experimental marker, so users should treat it as useful guidance rather than a fully hardened production skill.
Overview of app-preview-video skill
The app-preview-video skill helps you plan and produce App Store Preview videos and Google Play promo videos that are designed to improve conversion, not just look polished. It is most useful for ASO owners, product marketers, designers, and founders who need a fast way to turn app value into a short, platform-compliant video for product pages and search surfaces.
What app-preview-video is for
Use the app-preview-video skill when the job is to decide what the video should show, how long it should run, and how to fit platform specs without wasting time on generic creative brainstorming. It is especially relevant for landing pages and store listings where autoplay, mute playback, and strict timing shape the message.
When it is a good fit
This app-preview-video guide is a good fit if you already know the app’s core value and need help translating it into a concise preview, or if you are unsure whether the app even needs a video. It is also useful when you have raw screen recordings and need a stronger sequence, script, or platform-specific format.
What makes it different
Unlike a broad creative prompt, app-preview-video is centered on store-video decisions: iOS versus Android constraints, how many assets to make, what the first seconds must communicate, and how to avoid low-signal footage. The main value is clearer execution on preview videos that support conversion goals.
How to Use app-preview-video skill
Install app-preview-video
Use the app-preview-video install command from your skill manager, then open skills/app-preview-video/SKILL.md first. Because this repository has no helper scripts or support folders, the skill body is the main source of truth, so the install step is simple but the reading step matters.
Give the skill the right inputs
For strong app-preview-video usage, start with a brief that includes:
- app name and App ID
- platform: iOS, Android, or both
- target market or locale
- current funnel goal: install or trial start
- existing footage, if any
- the one user action that proves value
A weak prompt says, “Make a preview video for my app.” A better one says, “Create an app-preview-video plan for a fitness app targeting iOS US users. We have screen recordings, want one 20-second App Store Preview, and the goal is install conversion.”
Suggested workflow
Use this workflow for the app-preview-video skill:
- Confirm platform specs before writing anything.
- Decide whether you are editing existing captures or capturing new ones.
- Map the first 5 seconds to the strongest value proof.
- Build the script around one message per scene.
- Check length, orientation, captions, and mute playback assumptions.
If you are making app-preview-video for Landing Pages, keep the message more explanatory than store-first, but still retain short scenes and a single visible outcome per segment.
What to read first in the repo
Start with SKILL.md, then scan the sections on Initial Assessment, Platform Specs, and the iOS and Google Play guidance. Those are the parts that most affect install decisions and reduce rework. If you only skim one area, skim the platform specs first, because they shape the entire production plan.
app-preview-video skill FAQ
Do I need this if I can write a normal prompt?
Yes, if you need platform-aware output. A generic prompt can suggest a concept, but the app-preview-video skill is better when the main risk is getting the wrong length, wrong format, weak opening, or a video that does not match store behavior.
Is app-preview-video only for App Store listings?
No. The app-preview-video skill covers both iOS App Preview and Google Play promo video workflows. It is useful when you are deciding between one cross-platform idea and two platform-specific versions.
Is it beginner-friendly?
Mostly yes, if you can describe your app clearly. The hardest part is not the skill itself; it is supplying enough context to choose the right feature, proof point, and sequence. Beginners get better results when they share screenshots, existing recordings, or a short product brief.
When should I not use app-preview-video?
Do not use it when you only need still screenshots, a brand trailer, or a full creative ad concept unrelated to store conversion. If your goal is broader positioning rather than a product-page asset, a screenshot or marketing-brief workflow will usually be a better fit.
How to Improve app-preview-video skill
Give stronger proof, not more features
The biggest improvement to app-preview-video output is clearer evidence of value. Instead of listing every feature, provide the one action that matters most: book a ride, finish a workout, send a payment, or create a design. The skill works best when the video can show that action quickly.
Specify the first 5 seconds
Most preview videos fail because they open too slowly. When you ask for app-preview-video usage help, state what should appear immediately: the problem, the outcome, or the app screen that signals value fastest. If you do not know, ask the skill to choose the strongest opening based on conversion goal.
Iterate from a rough cut
After the first version, improve the video by tightening scenes, removing repeated UI states, and verifying that each frame earns its place. If the output feels generic, feed back which segment was unclear, which feature mattered less, and whether you want more emphasis on install or trial start.
Match the platform before polishing
For better app-preview-video results, check orientation, mute playback, locale scope, and asset count before adding polish like motion graphics or music. A well-composed but non-compliant video is less useful than a simple version that fits store rules and publishes cleanly.
