How to create App video demo with zero budget ?

Have you developed an app and looking to create a video demo for it? then you must have come across many online service providers like, placeit.net, which provides a decent app demo.

But the problem with them is that their free version is not so great in video quality [plus watermark in background] and charge for premium version is quite high for a newcomer and a person like me, who don't have that much money.

how to create video demo with no money?

Well, I have a Jugaad for that, you just need Microsoft PowerPoint installed on your computer.

How to Do it?

01. Create a good looking slide background, give it a Tabletop  texture with some added features, like, coffee cup,pen.diary etc.


02.Create an outer frame of a smart phone and import it into the powerpoint slide.

03. Record you app Screen with whatever feature you want to show in the demo.[What I used is, AZ screen Recoreder]

04. Import captured video into powerpoint slide and Crop the unnecessary area.And try to fit the video inside Phone frame.[send it to backward]


05. Set animations to the instructions and set video play settings to automatic start.

06. Start SlideShow and record screen, with any other application or in-built screen recored in power point.

That's it, Although it may not look like a professional but serves the purpose until you get the money for a professional video demo.
Below is the video demo, I created for my app. and here is the ppt.

how to install windows 8 operating system on any usb device?

Now you can have Windows 8(.1) operating system installed on a flash drive and use it as a portable system, using it's new feature 'Windows To Go'.
But you can install it only on a bootable certified USB drive.

What if you do not have a bootable certified USB drive ?
Don't worry, recently I came to know about a software WinToUSB ,using which anyone can install windows 8 operating system on any external hard drive or even on a flash drive.

Once installed on your flash drive you can run this operating system on any computer system.Just plug-in your flash drive and select flash drive from booting option during start-up of windows.

How to install Windows OS on external hard drive or a pen drive ?

  1. Get a .ISO file of windows 8(.1) operating system
  2. Download and install WinToUSB
  3. Run WinToUSB and follow steps as directed, 
for example I am installing windows 8 on my flash drive (USB 2.0), So process snapshots are given below.

1. Browse For your windows .iso file location


2. Select Destination disk and system partition


3. Click Next and wait till installation is completed.


Restart your pc and press F9 key [it depends on system, may be different for your system] to open advance boot option and select boot from you pen drive/flash drive.
Usually it takes long time for installing on flash drives, so  it is highly recommended to use a USB hard disk.

How to use External storage device to speed up your computer

ReadyBoost technique can be used on windows 7 to speed up your computer system by using storage space on most USB flash drives and flash memory cards.In this technique windows creates cache files in your storage drive instead of RAM which leads to faster performance of your system.

Here are steps to use flash drive for ReadyBoost

1).  Insert Your Flash drive and wait for AutoPlay, once it comes click on 'speed up my system' under General Options.


If AutoPlay doesn't come then goto my computer and 'right click'->'Properties' on drive icon.

2).    Now choose ReadyBoost tab and select 'use this device' option. Set space to be used for ReadyBoost.


Click 'Apply' and 'ok'. it's done. Restart to see the effect.
Following is the cache file generated in your drive.


3). For removing ReadyBoost Select 'Do not use this device'.




 Note:
- Flash drive should be more than 1 GB.
- This method will improve system boot and application launch time by 10-30 percent.
- If you are using SSD hard drives then you might receive this message, "Readyboost is not enabled on this computer because the system disk is fast enough that ReadyBoost is unlikely to provide any additional benefit."This is because some SSD drives are so fast they're unlikely to benefit from ReadyBoost .
