# Lumora vs Tella: walkthrough recorder or cinematic demo video?


**Short answer:** **Tella** is the better tool for walkthroughs where you talk on camera, especially long ones you share as a link and want analytics on. **Lumora** is the better tool for short, cinematic product videos for launches, social posts and landing pages.

## When Tella is the better choice

- You are on camera, explaining the product.
- The video is longer than two minutes: onboarding, tutorials, sales walkthroughs.
- You want to know who watched and where they stopped.

## When Lumora is the better choice

- The video is 15 seconds to 2 minutes and needs to grab attention on X, LinkedIn, Product Hunt or your landing page.
- You have screenshots, not a recording.
- You want motion: 3D camera moves, device frames, headline shots and a music drop.
- You need vertical and square versions from the same edit.
