XLaunch

Launch videos for developer tools

A developer tool launch video shows in under a minute what your tool, API or library does: the code you write, what happens when it runs and why it beats the old way. XLaunch makes one from your project's website or docs, animating code, terminal output and your interface in your brand, and it can be driven from Claude Code as an MCP server.

Why XLaunch for Developer tool launch videos

  • Code that reads well on video

    Code snippets and terminal output are animated as clean, readable type, built in code rather than filmed.

  • Make it from your editor

    XLaunch is an MCP server: add it to Claude Code and ask Claude to make, revise and export the video without leaving your terminal.

  • From your docs or README

    Point it at your website or docs; it reads what your tool does and writes the story around it.

Questions

Can it show code and terminal output?

Yes. Scenes are built in code, so code snippets, commands and their output are animated as clean, readable text.

Can I make videos from Claude?

Yes. XLaunch is an MCP server: add it to claude.ai or the Claude app as a custom connector, or to Claude Code with an API key, and Claude can create, revise and export videos for you, paid from your credits.

Does it work for open-source projects?

Yes. Point it at the project's website or docs. The videos are yours to use on GitHub, your docs, X or Hacker News.

How long does a video take?

Usually 10 to 20 minutes for a new video, a few minutes for a change asked for in chat.

Paste your website and see your film.
