How to Film an Intro Video

Your intro video is the first thing your subscribers will see when they login to your app. It’s a great way to say hi, introduce yourself, tell them what to expect, and get them excited!

Here’s everything you need to know about filming an intro video.

What to Say

  • Introduce yourself and share your accomplishments

  • Explain your training style (what makes you/your channel unique)

  • Let them know what you’ll help with (weight loss, strength training, etc.)

  • Talk about the bonus features included in your app (nutrition guide, community, etc.)

  • Remind them to interact with you on the app and ask questions/leave feedback

  • Tell them to share their progress on social media

  • Mention that they can contact support@playbookapp.io for any technical questions

**IMPORTANT: When filming, make sure to say “my app,” DO NOT SAY “my Playbook, Playbook, Playbook app, etc.” Why? You want to market the app as your own and not confuse subscribers by talking about Playbook since they came through your personal download link.

Tips for Filming

Pick a good film location:

  • No background noise

  • Neutral background

  • Lots of natural light (or purchase a light like this one to help)

Other helpful tips:

  • You MUST film in portrait mode (This means vertical! Think: selfie video)

  • Look presentable and put-together

  • Be welcoming and energetic!

  • Project your voice and speak clearly

  • Have someone film you or purchase a tripod (this will come in handy for filming workouts, too!)
