Make an app promo video from a screen recording
In short
Record a walk-through of your app and upload it to Kurgu as an App promo. RejiAI wraps the recording in a 3D device frame (iPhone, Android, MacBook or a browser), moves the camera around it and adds captions, giving one continuous promo clip. For callouts and feature scenes, build it from a brief with screenshots instead.

A raw screen recording shows what the app does and convinces nobody. What turns it into a promo is framing: a device around the screen, a camera that moves, and a line of text that says why it matters.
Two ways to make it
- From a screen recording. Choose the App promo preset and upload one recording. It plays inside a device mock-up with a camera move you pick: a dynamic orbit, a smooth float or a fixed studio shot.
- From a brief. No recording yet? Choose From scratch, describe the app, and add screenshots. Kurgu builds the promo from device, screen-zoom and feature-callout scenes.
Either way, the result is a scene-by-scene video you can keep editing: change a headline, swap a scene's template, reorder beats.
How it works
- Record your app: one clean pass through the two or three things it does best.
- On the dashboard, open Kurgu, choose App promo and upload the recording.
- Pick the device frame, the camera motion and a caption style.
- Review the result in the studio; add a title or a call to action there.
- Render in 9:16 for Shorts, Reels and TikTok, and 16:9 for your site or the store listing.

Questions people ask
Does it work for a web app, not only a phone app?
Yes. The device frame can be an iPhone, an Android phone, a MacBook or a browser window, or you can let RejiAI detect it from the recording.
Can I show ratings or reviews?
Yes. There are scene templates for star ratings, a review quote and a stack of notifications. Only put real reviews on screen.
Which plans include app promos?
App promo projects are part of the Pro and Business plans.
