Video series launch page template with a trailer and countdown
A launch page template for a show or podcast: one line on the series, the trailer, a countdown to episode one and a form to get notified.
Who it is for
For a video series, podcast or documentary that has not premiered yet, when you want an audience who will turn up on day one. The demo is a made-up documentary series from southern Africa, on a dark page: one line about the show, the trailer, a countdown to episode one and a sign-up form.
Change the series name and the line about it first, saying what story viewers will follow. Swap in your trailer, set the countdown to your premiere, and write what the card says when it reaches zero. Make the newsletter description promise only episode emails, and update the button text to match.
A written column or newsletter fits The Chronicle template better. For a waitlist before an app or software launch, start from the Horizon Launch template.
Replace these five first
- Rich Text: Headline Text
- Video Embed: Video URL
- Countdown: Counts down to
- Newsletter: Description
- Newsletter: Button Text

Common questions
Can the trailer come from YouTube?
Yes. In the video card, choose YouTube or Vimeo as the source and paste the address.
What should I change after the premiere?
The countdown shows the line you wrote under When it reaches zero. Then change the newsletter description to say you write when each new episode is out.
