InVideo: Great Video Creator for Marketing Videos

I found a great piece of software for making marketing videos. It’s called InVideo. It’s quite new, but the performance is outstanding. Right now is my preferred choice for making videos for social media.

Video is becoming the most important factor in social marketing

Video is a versatile and engaging content format and it’s also easy to share across multiple platforms. People like it because it’s easy to digest, is entertaining and engaging, and marketers like it because it can give a potentially huge return on investment.

That’s why every marketer should start to create marketing videos. But the classic tools as Final Cut and Adobe Premiere are expensive and difficult to use.

InVideo is both easy to use and inexpensive. You should give it a try. I highly recommend this video creator software.

How has video marketing evolved?

The trend is getting stronger year by year:

  • 2016: A surge in the popularity of video as a content marketing format.
     
  • 2017: Video rise to the top of your marketing tactic list. Video as a tactic was likely streamlined by your creative team as a one-to-many awareness play, with lots of focus on expensive production and little analysis to show for it.
     
  • 2018: Video transformed from a singular marketing tactic to an entire business strategy.
     
  • 2019:  Video as a holistic business approach, meaning video content will be produced by all teams in a conversational, actionable, and measurable way.
