<b>Eliminate Distractions</b><br />
It's best not to show distracting elements from your desktop in a sales or demo video. An example of this is <a href="http://www.memopal.com/en/video.html" target="_blank">MemoPal's demo video</a> which shows the demonstrator's desktop shortcuts, dock and menu bar. The <a href="https://www.getdropbox.com/screencast" target="_blank">DropBox screencast</a> presenter, in contrast, has his dock set to automatically hide itself when not in use, which minimizes…

<b>Screen Size</b><br />
The DropBox video uses a screen size of about 800x600 pixels, which incidentally is the <a href="http://www.joelonsoftware.com/items/2007/11/16.html" target="_blank">screen size recommended by Joel Spolsky for demos</a>. At this resolution, text is very easy to read in the video. The MemoPal video screen size is so large in their video that there is a lot of wasted screen area and text is not easy to read.

two important things from my perspective:<br />
<br />
1) jump into the thick of things as quickly as possible - don't spend 30+ seconds on chatter, introductions, etc... you should be able to give the intro in 15 seconds and then dive into the features - people are watching the video b/c they're eager to see a product in action.<br />
<br />
2) if your video is longer than 4 minutes... use a video platform that enable "chaptering" so people can hop around to the places that interest them... i hate feeling both…

Clear audio. Nice navigation on the left sidebar. They should probably have an easy to find signup button on the page.
