How To Create Great Animated Videos in 90
Minutes.
Animation is one of the best arts to
attract the attention of younger and older generation alike. All the more if
one wants to introduce the product, animation is one of the best modes. The
intro videos which can be easily made are the most suitable for online
advertising. If you are social media buff, you already might be knowing how
popular they are. The best part of animated videos is that they have the
capacity to give the message without the viewer getting bored.
Anyone who tries to make an animated video,
knows how expensive it is. Just for sketching the video story board and final
video production, they charge thousands of rupees. Some can afford, but not
all. And if one wants it to be done by a reputed company the charges scale up
to lakhs. Now this is money for start-ups and small business companies, which
really are cash strapped.
Enter MakeWebVideo, which recently caught my eye as a
great solution for creating animated story-telling videos on
a budget.
In this article, we will look at how Make Web Video works, and
how you can make animated intro videos for your product using this DIY tool.
MakeWebVideo features and how it works:
MakeWebVideo lets you create free explanatory videos for your

edit the text, graphics and music to suit your taste and needs. The best part
is that you don’t need any advanced editing skills. Anyone (yes,
anyone!) can make a good video using this tool. I will demonstrate this in
the next section, but first let’s have a quick look at the notable features of
this service.

join and you can create videos for free.
Only when you are satisfied with the video to the extent that you wish to

How to make an animated video for your
product:
I contacted the MakeWebVideo team for a review
account, and to my surprise, their CEO (Mario
Gomes Cavalcanti) replied within 30 minutes offering
me $99 to try out their service.
Let me show you how you can create a video for your product
or service using their self-service platform.
One of the best parts of this service is the
fact that even if you are not ready to spend money on a video, you
can spend a little time grabbing a template, editing it according to your
needs, and checking out your creativity abilities. This also allows you to see
(with zero financial investment) what kind of videos you can create using this
service.
If you create something that might help boost your sales,
you can pay later to download your video. Otherwise, simply use it as
a tool for learning while not paying anything to have done so!
- Head over
to the MakeWebVideo website and create a free account.
- Now
select from any pre-defined video template. You can hover over the videos
to play the videos, and select one which suits your needs.
- Click on
“create free preview video”, and you will be taken to the video production
studio. Don’t forget to check out the tutorial video at the bottom, which
will make your work much easier.
- Now all
you need to do is change the video text, graphics and audio. In most
cases all you need to do is change the text and graphics at certain places
to reflect your brand.
The whole process is very easy, and you will be able to produce
a professional looking web video in 75 minutes, (an additional 15 minutes
or so is required for final touch-up and downloading if you want to purchase
your video).
