Content marketing, and video in particular, is growing at an accelerating rate. When considering video as a channel for communicating with prospects and customers, organizations are faced with a plethora of options. Here we ask video storyteller Ash Bhardwaj to share his top tips on how to make a video successful.

Types of Video

The first thing to be aware of is the different types of video out there, from Hollywood blockbusters to user generated mobile phone footage. You will probably be familiar with pre-roll videos that often appear on You Tube before a clip. These replicate the production quality and intentions of television advertising and are typically used for awareness. For more targeted campaigns, homepage videos and mini series work well to convert website visits or build credibility. These will have a similar structure and length to campaign videos although tend to have a longer shelf life. Crowdfunding videos for instance have a very definite redundancy date once the fundraising cycle ends. Vloggers have also entered the mainstream and as a result are being seen as pure advertising.

How to make a video successful

There are six important steps to get right when commissioning and producing a great video; Intent, Pre-Production, Story, Style, Production, Distribution. For more on What Makes a Video Successful, click here.

Automatically Edit Videos Using this AE Plugin

Automated Video Editing Cover Image

Watch your video get edited before your eyes using this amazing After Effects plugin.

As a video editor or motion graphic designer you probably try to save as much time as you can by using various tools or techniques for streamlining your workflow. This can come in the form of keyboard shortcuts, scripts, or even using templates. However, we may have found the next great tool for significantly slimming down the editing process.

Automated Video Editing

The tool is called Automated Video Editing and as the name implies it can be used to automatically edit videos to a song without touching the timeline at all. The After Effects plugin works by analyzing the song decibels and cutting when they reach a certain point. The results aren’t perfect, but if you are wanting to quickly cut a series of videos to a beat it might be a timesaving approach.

The following video created by the plugin developers show the script in-action. As you can see in the video, the final result is pretty good considering it was edited by a robot!

This tool was released in the wake of a pretty amazing algorithm developed by the Disney Research and Development that intelligently recognizes and cuts footage based on content, angle, and seamless transition. While the Automated Video Editing plugin isn’t quite that advanced, it certainly will do the trick when you’re short on time.

Pricing and Availability

The Automated Video Editing plugin is available from aescripts for $44.99. There is also a free version for you to try out, but is limited to only 10 clips.

What do you think of this tool? Would you ever use it?
