Canva can do a bit of everything. Filmagic does one thing: turn your product link into a launch trailer with motion, music and your brand, ready for Product Hunt, X, LinkedIn and your homepage.


## Why people look for a Canva video alternative

- **Motion takes manual work.** Canva animations are presets; a launch trailer needs timing and pacing.
- **Templates are made for every topic.** Launch videos need product screens front and centre.
- **Cutting to music** is done by hand.
- **Every format means another edit,** unless you resize and fix each layout.
