Here are the steps that I use to put together promo video

HTML1 First Step: Plan

It's important to have an outline before you spend an hour or more making the film.

• Set the goals for your movie. What steps do you want your viewers to take when watching your film? Make a note of it! Check that you're free of any doubt before you proceed further
• What kind of content will you need to add in the video? Include any specific pictures or videos that you'd like to incorporate.
• What are you looking to include? Include specific promotional or event details, coupon codes, or a call-to-action.

STEP TWO PRODUCE

The majority of people get stuck because of a lack of knowledge in the field. However, you do not need tech skills nowadays! We make all of our videos for promotion on smartphones.

• Choose the location to create your video. Utilize one of our top apps and you'll get a great video in 5 minutes or less. The most popular five iPhone video apps are Quik, Legend, Stop Motion, Flipagram, Ripl and Boomerang. Certain are free, while other apps are completely cost-free. Many templates are provided so that there is no need to "design" all the time. If you're not a tech expert, consider Flipagram at first, as it's an easy slideshow.
• Upload your pictures along with the text in your application that you prefer. Make sure to use only the images you own or which you are authorized to make use of. Make sure you don't copy images from Google!
• Want music? There are apps that have built-in musical beds that create amazing audio effects to your videos. Take note that the majority of music found included in the iTunes library is protected through copyright. You could be subject to consequences if you use the songs in your video without having permission to make use of the video. (i.e. it is possible to be sued, your audio may be blocked or your posting could be removed from social media - gaaaahhh!) The best place I can find audio or sound effects is Audio Jungle.
• After you've finished saving the video, either save it to your camera roll, or transfer it directly via the application.

Remember that should you decide to publish your video to Instagram you must make sure that it is between 3 to 60 seconds. Remember though that attention spans can be short... therefore, ensure that your video is short.

In addition, if you'd like your videos to look professional on all platforms, stick using an oblong crop. That way, no one will have to turn off their mobile for the video.
