Wideo is a neat service for creating animated, Common Craft style videos in your web browser. I've been using and talking about the service for a couple of years now. Recently, Wideo added a new feature that allows you to generate presentations from your videos.

When you have completed your storyboards Wideo generates a video for you. The new presentation mode in Wideo will allow you to present each frame of your video independently just like in a slideshow....

Video content has exploded in popularity, and it’s no wonder. Consumers find video engaging, compelling and convincing — so much so that they’re anywhere from 64% to 85% more likely to buy after viewing a video.
There’s a lot to think about, from actually shooting the video to post production, finding copyright free music and more. Equipment quality, lighting expertise, editing skill and audio optimization still matter a great deal (more than ever, in fact).
So while the barriers to entry for video creation have been reduced, the barriers to creating exceptional video have actually skyrocketed.
In this column, we’re going to explore some really useful places to find one element that can make your marketing and product videos way more professional and polished: background music....

Ever felt the urge to launch a YouTube channel, only to find that the results don’t quite pass muster? Astonished by the high production values of the other shows, and concerned how you will manage to find your own audience, lost in the shadows of the established, big budget sites?
Now is the time to put those doubts aside.
Whether you want to make reaction videos or one of the other popular YouTube video types, if you don’t have the best tools, there’s a good chance that your efforts will be overlooked.
The problem is you don’t have a 4K video camera, professional microphone, or Adobe Premier. You don’t have a studio, a Chroma green/blue screen, or the time to put into editing a video together.
But as of now, you don’t need any of these things. The future is here – and it’s called Showbox....

Recently, I stumbled upon Sketch Toy - a web-based drawing tool and Chrome App that allows you to quickly create and share drawings from any browser.
What makes Sketch Toy different from other tools is the ability to not only draw, but also automatically convert your drawings into step-by-step animations that can be shared with a link. Additionally, anyone who accesses your drawing can then add on to it and generate a new link to share, allowing students to quickly iterate on each others' drawings WITHOUT needing an account!
Sketch Toy also lets you rotate your drawings as 3D models and includes a "vibration" setting which makes your drawings appear slightly animated - much like Squigglevision. You can also drag any image from your desktop onto the screen and incorporate it into your drawing.

Wistia also provides a wide range of customizations that you can apply to your embedded videos.

Do you want to increase your Social Media reach and make your message go viral? Are you tired of Facebook limiting the reach of your posts?
Video content is one of the best ways to increase your followers’ engagement on Social Media; and when engagement rises, your reach will also grow. The power of video as highly engaging content is the reason why most Social Media platforms are implementing new video products: video ads on Facebook,animated gifs on Twitter, the launch of Hyperlapse for Instagram, etc…
However, if you just create the same type of videos as everyone else, chances are, your followers will also ignore these posts. Users pay more attention to content that is unusual and unique. Posting another video is not enough. It needs to be different from what others are doing.
In this article, I will describe some apps for smartphones that will allow you to create outstanding and unique videos that will surely increase your engagement by making your videos stand out of the mass....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
We all know that video is important but the problem is that it's difficult to create, unless you use these great video apps, check them out.
