How to turn your changelog into a weekly video

A changelog is the most honest marketing a product has: proof that it gets better every week. Almost nobody reads it. A short, consistent weekly video turns the same content into something people watch and share.

What makes a changelog video work

Habit	Why it works
Cut hard	Three or four themes, at most three items each; the full list stays in the notes
Show, don't list	Mock the real UI doing the new thing instead of showing bullet points
Same show every week	One scaffold, one look, one length, so viewers know what they're getting
Readable captions	Many watch on mute; captions use standard spelling even when the voice spells terms out
One accent moment per scene	A single colour pop points at the change

Make one with Changelog Video

Changelog Video is a free, open-source Skill from the HyperFrames project. Give it the changelog file:

Turn this week's changelog into a square changelog video for our smart-home app. Themes: scenes that run at sunset and a weekly energy report. Use our coral accent.

It picks the themes, writes a script with spoken and caption versions, records a voice-over with word timings and builds the video on its master scaffold. Our download swaps the original commercial fonts for the open-source Geist and adds a background loop and CC0 music.

Its caption rules come from Captions Overlay. For a single feature launch instead of a weekly recap, use an Orbit Feature Card.
