I disagree on that one.  As a software showcase I find it an innovative way to highlight what the plugins they offer. It's a great deal more interesting that the patented screengrab video example with the monotonous voiceover. Granted for educational purposes that works in small doses but to showcase a product, it's more fun the other way.
