AI Product Update Video Maker: Generate Changelog and Release Videos with AI

By MakeThisVid Editorial Updated Methodology

A changelog post is easy to ignore. A changelog post with a polished video clip is not. MakeThisVid lets you generate a short visual scene that sets the emotional context for your product update — the excitement of something shipping, the polish of a refined UI, the energy of a team delivering — in under two minutes. Pair it with your What's New post, your weekly product newsletter, or your in-app update banner. Consistent video with every major release builds product credibility and user engagement without a dedicated video production workflow.

Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Weekly or monthly changelog posts

Add a video visual to every changelog post or What's New page update to make the release feel substantial and worth reading.

Social media release announcements

Post a short video clip on LinkedIn and X when a major update ships — drives more engagement than a text-only release note post.

In-app update banners

Use a video clip as the visual in an in-app What's New modal or update notification banner. More engaging than a static icon.
