Getting ready to make a video to promote or showcase a product with Animoto? The first thing you’ll have to decide is whether you want to make it a Slideshow Video or a Marketing Video.
If you’re not familiar with the differences, you may not know which type of video to pick. To help you out, we’ve gone ahead and created two versions of the same product video – one slideshow and one marketing video – to showcase the different features of our Slideshow Video Builder and Marketing Video Builder.
Note: The Marketing Video Builder is available for Animoto Professional and Business customers.
This video, a lookbook featuring the handmade leather bags and accessories of Flux Productions’ collection, was created with 14 product photos, using our Marketing Video Builder. It features the Standout video style, which you can find by selecting “Start from Scratch” when starting a Marketing Video project. The song, “All Year Round” by Research Material, is available in our music library.
We should also mention that, if you like this video, you can make it your own using the “Portfolio” pre-built storyboard under the “Showcase Your Product” category. Once you’ve selected the storyboard, easily drag and drop your own photos and/or video clips into the storyboard project and change the text and logo to customize.
