# Screen-recording demo script for an app: what to click, what to say, when

A prompt that writes a demo script where every spoken line is paired with one on-screen action, so the recording is done in one pass and the narration recorded over it afterwards.

## Prompt

```text
Write a screen-recording demo script for {app} that shows {the one job it does} in {60-90} seconds. The recording is the picture; the narration is recorded separately over it.

Output a table: Time | Action on screen (what I click, type or scroll) | Narration (what is said during this action) | Hold (seconds the result stays on screen).

Rules:
- Start on the result, not the login screen: the first 5 s show the finished thing, then cut to the start.
- One action per row. 'Open settings and change the language' is two rows.
- Narration describes what the viewer sees and why it matters, never 'now I click'. Max 18 words per row.
- Every row where a result appears gets a Hold of at least 2 s. No row shorter than 2 s.
- No feature that is not needed for {the one job}. Mention the others in one closing line at most.
- End on the result again, with the URL spoken once.

Context about the app:
{paste README or feature list}
```

## Steps

1. Prepare the app state before recording: sample data that looks real, notifications off, a clean desktop, the window at the final export size.
2. Record the actions following the table without talking. Then read the narration over the recording and stretch holds in the edit where the voice runs long.
3. Cursor: slow, straight lines, a pause before each click. A fast cursor is the one thing viewers notice and remember.

## Tips

- Record at the output size or an integer multiple of it; non-integer scaling blurs UI text.
- For an iOS app, record on the Simulator or mirror the device; for web, a clean browser profile with no extensions.
