You don’t need an expensive set up to produce great videos. I have created many successful campaigns for Local Internet Marketing Clients and for our Consulting Agency with simple local cost Web Videos!
There are many options available that will allow you to create videos without a camera. Let’s take a look at three popular options.
Make A Slide Show : Animoto
It’s very easy to make a video slideshow with Animoto. Animoto does all the hard work, adding the video effects and music to your slideshow to give it the wow factor.
Slideshows that you create on Animoto that are less than 30 seconds are completely free. To make unlimited full length videos that can be download and easily distributed costs $5 per month. or you can get a Business Account that lets you create unlimited Videos at DVD quality!
Creating a video is a quick process. Simple sign up and click Create Video. Choose your video type (some options are available only to paid members). Grab you images, add text, rotate or spotlight images. Select your music (you can use your own too!) and save. You may also customize video length, image speed and your video cover images. Click to create your video and you are done. You now have a great looking video that you can use to showcase you, your product or your company and services.
Animoto, will then give you the option to remix your video, e-mail it, post it online, download it or send it directly to YouTube.
Make A Screen Cast : Jing Project
Don’ t worry if you’re camera shy! You can still make a video (with voice) without you having to be on screen. Let’s say you want to make a video giving a tour of your new website or product. The easiest way to do that is to make a Screencast that will capture the activity on your computer screen. A Screencast is very simple to do. It lets you record everything that happens on your screen, while also capturing audio.
Jing is a free online browser based Screencast tool. Let’s take a look at how you can use the Jing web application to create professional videos.
The only one drawback that I find with Jing is you are limited to 5 Minutes maximum per video for recording, however this can be overcome by recording 2 or 3 5 minute videos and combining them in a video editor like iMovie or Windows Movie maker.
The really cool thing about Jing is that it is browser based. You don’t even need to download the application to get going. While there is a professional version
