We originally launched an app called "Can'tWait!" and we ended up having a really hard time iterating fast on the product after it was launched. Little-by-little over the course of several months, we ended up building all of this syncing and hybrid-integration stuff to help us iterate faster. At some point we realized we had gotten so much faster with these tools, that we had to make them available to everyone. Clutch.io is our MVP for bringing those tools to the world.

Eric, who did the video on the homepage? Did you guys do it yourselves, or farm it out? What tool(s) were used? I have a project that needs a video with that kind of look, and would love some pointers! Thnx

  Hey there, we did all the videos ourselves. We created most of the graphics in Photoshop and animated them in After Effects, we recorded the voiceover in Audacity and did the final audio with music in garageband. Oh and we purchased the audio loop from audiojungle.com. Cheap but they have some decent stuff, you just have to find it ;) Hope that helps!

    Absolutely loved the video. Thanks for telling us how you did that.

    We always get songs for our videos at AudioJungle. It's a great resource! Thanks for the tip about After Effects!

    thanks for the info. recently spotted a question on quora on this exact topic in case anyone wants more tips http://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-cheap-way-to-make-an-explanatory-video-early-on-at-a-startup http://www.quora.com/Is-there-a-cheap-way-to-make-an-explana... I've linked to your comment here. Isn't After Effects expensive though?

    I was surprised to see "Go fuck yourself" on the video (0:39). Was that a mistake or a conscious decision? Otherwise, it's a very slick professional video.
