One sample here was made with the Feature Walkthrough video type from the link to our background remover page. The others show the same step-by-step approach from other inputs: three screenshots of our AI image generator, a PDF quick start manual and a course handout, plus a vertical and a square sample for the other two frames. Select a poster to play it.

A sample quick start manual uploaded as a PDF and turned into a how-to: first use, setting a temperature, then cleaning, one step per scene.
16:9 · 40s
A sample biology handout uploaded as a PDF and turned into a lesson that goes through six steps in order, one idea per screen.
9:16 · 25s
A sample research summary PDF as a 9:16 clip: the question, three results as big numbers, then the limits. It shows the frame a walkthrough gets on a phone.
1:1 · 22s
A sample annual report PDF as a 1:1 summary of three numbers, a sentence each. It shows the square frame for a feed or an email.
These samples come from Potto's own pages and screenshots and from sample documents we wrote; the documents' companies and figures are fictional. They are not recordings of a customer project.
The last step of the background remover walkthrough as a storyboard row and as a video frame. The on-screen text comes from the storyboard; the scene layout, icons and motion are added when the scene is rendered.

On-screen text
Each step of a feature walkthrough video is one storyboard row: the text shown on screen for that step and, when narration is on, the words to say. Potto plans the rows from your link or screenshots in the order of the task, so the last step comes after the action it depends on.
The same text as short labels in the step's scene, in the colors and logo picked up from the page link. In this sample the upload step shows the background remover page captured from that link, and the later steps use labels and a before-and-after scene; with your own screenshots, any step can show your real interface.
Read each row of the software walkthrough video against the live product: button names, the order of actions and the result on screen. Edit the on-screen words in the storyboard, swap in a screenshot of the real screen where it helps, and preview again before you export.
A product walkthrough video answers one question: how do I use this feature? Pick the place where viewers ask it, and let that place decide the frame, the length and how many steps to show.

Put a walkthrough at the top of a how-to article so readers see every step before they read the details. Keep one task per video, use the exact button names from your app, and choose 16:9 for a help center or docs page. When the interface changes, replace the screenshots rather than leaving an outdated walkthrough online.

When a feature ships or changes, a short software walkthrough video shows where it lives and how to use it now. Open on the screen people already know, show the new steps in order, and end on the result. For an announcement about benefits and availability, a launch video fits better than a walkthrough.
16:9 · 34s
Teach the first tasks a new user needs with an app walkthrough video for each feature. A 9:16 frame suits phones and in-app messages, and 1:1 suits a feed or an email. End each walkthrough on the next action the user should take in your product.
Make a feature walkthrough video in three steps with the creator above. Generating and previewing are free, and a credit price appears before you export.
Paste a public product link, or upload a screenshot of each step in order, up to 8 attachments per project. Choose Feature Walkthrough as the video type and write a sentence on the feature, who the walkthrough is for and the result they should reach.
Read the outline and storyboard against your product. For any scene, edit the words on screen and the narration, swap a screenshot, or choose a focus point so the step points at the right control. Keep feature names exactly as your app shows them.
Watch the walkthrough in your browser for free. Export a 1080p MP4 at 30 fps in 16:9, 9:16 or 1:1. Credits are charged only when you export, based on length, narration and illustrations.
A screen recording captures every click, pause and mistake. Potto builds the walkthrough from your screens instead: Claude Opus 5.5 plans one feature as a sequence of steps, your screenshots become the visuals, and narration, captions and music are added, so the product walkthrough video plays like an edited tutorial rather than a raw recording.
01
Give Potto a public http or https page and it reads that page plus up to 2 more pages on the same site, picks up your brand name, colors, fonts and logo, and captures the first screen at 1440×900. Pages behind a login cannot be read, so for an app walkthrough video that shows a signed-in screen, upload screenshots instead.
02
With the Feature Walkthrough video type, Claude Opus 5.5 writes the outline, storyboard and narration script as numbered steps that follow the order of your screens, showing each action and what it changes. Scenes are rendered with Potto's Remotion scene components, with AI-generated illustrations and voiceover.
03
A software walkthrough video is only useful if it shows the screen people will see. Potto places your screenshots in the scenes, and for each one you can choose a focus point, swap in a newer capture or replace an illustration, so a step can be corrected without remaking the whole walkthrough.
04
Choose one of 32 narration languages or let Potto detect the language automatically; captions highlight each word as it is spoken. Background music comes from Potto's own library of original tracks, picked to fit the style and length, and you can change it. Listen once for product names and button labels before exporting.
05
Export a 1080p MP4 at 30 fps in 16:9 (1920×1080) for help center and docs pages, 9:16 (1080×1920) for phones and in-app messages, or 1:1 (1080×1080) for a feed. Aspect ratio does not change the price, so pick the frame that fits where your walkthrough will play.
Each product walkthrough video teaches one feature. These pages cover other kinds of video, and a tool shown in our samples.
What a product walkthrough video is, how it differs from a demo, and the inputs, edits and prices to know before exporting.
A product walkthrough video is a short video that teaches how to use a product, or one feature of it, by going through the steps on its real interface in order, usually with narration and captions. Viewers follow along and reach the same result in their own app. Potto makes product walkthrough videos from your screenshots or from a link to your product: it plans the steps, places your screens in animated scenes, and adds narration, captions and music. It does not record your screen, and it does not generate a digital presenter.
A product walkthrough teaches one feature step by step, while a demo shows what a whole product does and why it matters. A demo answers "should I use this?"; a walkthrough answers "how do I do this?" for someone who already has the product open. In Potto they are separate video types, so pick Feature Walkthrough when the goal is a how-to and Product Demo when the goal is an overview.
Feature Walkthrough is one of the options in the Video type menu of Potto's creator, next to Auto, Product Demo, Explainer, Product Launch, Article to Video and Data Story. It tells the AI to plan your video as numbered steps for one feature, following the order of the screens you supply. Choose it yourself rather than Auto when you want a feature walkthrough video and not a general overview.
Add screenshots of each step, or a public link to your product, in the creator at the top, choose Feature Walkthrough as the video type, and write a sentence about the feature, the audience and the result they should reach. Potto drafts an outline, storyboard, narration and captions; you check each step against your product, preview the walkthrough in your browser for free, and export an MP4.
Use a link for a public page and screenshots for anything behind a login. Potto reads a public http or https page you give it, plus up to 2 more pages on the same site, and captures its first screen at 1440×900. Pages that need a login cannot be read, so for an app walkthrough video of a signed-in screen, upload one screenshot per step in order. A project holds up to 8 attachments, screenshots and documents combined.
Not at the moment. Potto currently cannot take an existing video, such as a screen recording, for analysis or editing; it makes a new product walkthrough video from screenshots, a public page link or a document. If you already have a recording, export a still for each step and upload those screenshots in order.
Yes. Before exporting, you can edit the words on screen and the narration script for each scene of a software walkthrough video. For visuals, you can swap a screenshot, choose its focus point, regenerate an AI illustration or replace it with your own upload. Preview again after each change, and compare every step with the live product.
Yes, when you select a brand kit or turn on the default brand. Its four brand colors are applied to the visuals, the font is your choice of Inter, Space Grotesk or Bricolage, and your logo appears in opening and closing scenes. When you start from a link, Potto also picks up the brand name, colors, fonts and logo from that page.
Narration can use any of 32 languages, or Potto can detect the language automatically. Captions highlight each word as it is spoken. For a software walkthrough video, listen once before exporting for product names, menu labels and abbreviations, since those are the words viewers will look for on their screen.
Potto exports every product walkthrough video as an MP4 in 1080p at 30 fps. Choose 16:9 (1920×1080) for help articles, 9:16 (1080×1920) for phones, or 1:1 (1080×1080) for a feed or an email. A 4:5 frame and GIF export are not available.
Generating and previewing a walkthrough in your browser is free; credits are charged only when you export. The price depends on video length, narration length and how many AI illustrations you use, and aspect ratio does not change it. For example, a 30-second video with English narration and no illustrations costs 153 credits, and adding 2 illustrations brings it to 199 credits. Each account can start up to 30 video projects and generate up to 60 illustrations a day.
Add screenshots or your product link, check every step, and see the credit price before you export your walkthrough as an MP4.
