Problem prompt · 1
Delivery: Answer like you are sending a voice note to a friend; name the exact moment it happened. Alternate take: Start with: 'The part that kept getting on my nerves was...'. Proof guardrail: Keep it to your real experience and avoid saying everyone has the same problem.
Problem prompt · 2
Delivery: Hold the old notes, tabs, or files in frame before looking back to camera. Alternate take: Start with: 'This was my system before I found a cleaner way...'. Proof guardrail: Do not stage a fake workaround or exaggerate how unusable it was.
Problem prompt · 3
Delivery: Pause after naming the stuck point so the editor has room for a visual cutaway. Alternate take: Start with: 'I was fine until I got to this part...'. Proof guardrail: Do not imply the app removes decisions or work that still belong to the user.
Problem prompt · 4
Delivery: Use one concrete consequence, such as another message or a missed handoff, without dramatizing it. Alternate take: Start with: 'It was not just [task]—it also meant...'. Proof guardrail: Avoid financial, health, or performance consequences you cannot document.
Surprise prompt · 5
Delivery: Glance toward the phone, then point to where the feature appears on screen. Alternate take: Start with: 'I downloaded this for [reason], but this is what I keep using...'. Proof guardrail: Frame frequency as your own behavior, not a popularity claim.
Surprise prompt · 6
Delivery: Sound pleasantly surprised, then leave a beat before the demo begins. Alternate take: Start with: 'I thought this would be a whole process, but...'. Proof guardrail: Do not hide required setup or claim a step count you cannot show.
Surprise prompt · 7
Delivery: Tell the short before-and-after story in one breath, then show the new use. Alternate take: Start with: 'I did not download this for [use], but now...'. Proof guardrail: Make sure the use is supported and does not violate the product's intended boundaries.
Surprise prompt · 8
Delivery: Keep the reaction low-key and specific instead of sounding amazed on command. Alternate take: Start with: 'This is such a small thing, but I noticed it right away...'. Proof guardrail: Describe personal preference rather than claiming objective usability.
Objection prompt · 9
Delivery: Say the objection plainly before softening your tone for the specific use case. Alternate take: Start with: 'Honestly, I did not want another app for this...'. Proof guardrail: Do not pretend reluctance or claim the app replaces tools you still use.
Objection prompt · 10
Delivery: Count the real steps with your fingers while the editor shows matching footage. Alternate take: Start with: 'I was worried setup would take forever, so I only did...'. Proof guardrail: Do not state a setup time or ease claim unless it matches the captured process.
Objection prompt · 11
Delivery: Use your natural vocabulary; do not perform confusion for the camera. Alternate take: Start with: 'I am not someone who wants to learn a complicated system...'. Proof guardrail: Keep it personal and do not label whole groups of people as bad with technology.
Objection prompt · 12
Delivery: Talk about the job you use, not an assumed return on money or time. Alternate take: Start with: 'The question for me was whether I would actually use it for...'. Proof guardrail: Do not make savings, ROI, or performance claims without the viewer's own numbers.
Demo prompt · 13
Delivery: Keep your spoken line short and physically point toward the upcoming demo. Alternate take: Start with: 'If you are opening this for the first time, start here...'. Proof guardrail: Make sure it is a supported starting point for the current app version.
Demo prompt · 14
Delivery: Hold up one finger for the original setup, then gesture forward for the next use. Alternate take: Start with: 'I set this up once, and now I use it whenever...'. Proof guardrail: Do not imply reuse is automatic or needs no review when details still change.
Demo prompt · 15
Delivery: Name the receiver and the missing context, then cut directly to the share view. Alternate take: Start with: 'Before I send this to [person], I make sure they can see...'. Proof guardrail: Do not show private data or imply the recipient has access they may not have.
Demo prompt · 16
Delivery: Let the mistake sound normal, then show the real recovery without a jump cut. Alternate take: Start with: 'If you accidentally [action], here is where you fix it...'. Proof guardrail: Only promise recovery for actions the app can genuinely reverse.
Confession prompt · 17
Delivery: Smile at the old behavior without shaming yourself or the viewer. Alternate take: Start with: 'I used to [old behavior] every single time...'. Proof guardrail: Keep the story true and avoid implying the change guarantees a result.
Confession prompt · 18
Delivery: Sound matter-of-fact, then point to the real moment it finally made sense. Alternate take: Start with: 'I skipped this feature for way too long because...'. Proof guardrail: Do not invent ignorance to make the feature sound more impressive.
Confession prompt · 19
Delivery: Use a quick visual prop or gesture to show the extra step, then simplify. Alternate take: Start with: 'I was making this so much harder than it needed to be...'. Proof guardrail: Present the simplification as your preference, not the only correct method.
Confession prompt · 20
Delivery: Deliver the limitation confidently, then transition into the narrow demo. Alternate take: Start with: 'This will not [unsupported job], but it does help me...'. Proof guardrail: Verify the limitation and avoid using honesty as a setup for an exaggerated claim.
Outcome prompt · 21
Delivery: Name the final state, then leave room for the editor to show it clearly. Alternate take: Start with: 'I know this task is ready when I can see...'. Proof guardrail: Do not call the wider job complete if outside approval or action still remains.
Outcome prompt · 22
Delivery: Use calm delivery and name the exact information shown in the demo. Alternate take: Start with: 'Before [event], I like knowing...'. Proof guardrail: Keep the claim about preparation, not guaranteed performance or confidence.
Outcome prompt · 23
Delivery: Quote the old question naturally, then show where the answer lives. Alternate take: Start with: 'The question I used to get every time was...'. Proof guardrail: Do not claim questions disappear entirely or invent team feedback.
Outcome prompt · 24
Delivery: Hold the reusable piece in frame, then mention the details that still need changing. Alternate take: Start with: 'The part I do not have to rebuild next time is...'. Proof guardrail: Do not imply the whole result can be reused unchanged.

How to use it
Give the creator a prompt instead of a sentence to memorize. A natural answer usually sounds more believable and gives the editor more usable choices.
Record the main prompt and its alternate as separate clips. Keep a clean pause before and after each take, then capture the demo or supporting visual as its own file.
These cards help with source capture only. ClipStitchr remains the paid place to organize those takes and assemble finished app ads.
Questions
No. Each card gives you one opening prompt, a delivery note, and an alternate take. The creator should answer in their own voice and only describe real experience.
Yes. Capture each opening as a separate clean take, leave a short pause at both ends, and keep the product-demo footage separate so the pieces are easier to reuse.
Treat it as a quick honesty check. Remove or soften any line the creator cannot support from personal experience or footage you can actually show.
