- Hi everyone, my name is Dylan.
And today, I'd like to show you how easy it is
to create beautiful video content with GoDaddy Studio.
Now, you probably don't need me to tell you
how valuable video content is
in terms of grabbing attention, engaging your audience
and giving your brand a real sense of professionalism.
But there seems to be a misconception
that video content is more difficult
or time consuming to produce than other types of content.
And I'm here to bust that myth.
Now, the easiest way to start creating video content
with GoDaddy Studio would be by using one of our templates.
And you'll see right at the top of the main template feed,
we have the video quickstart tab.
So just hit that to explore our full collection
of video templates
and these span a range of different design styles,
different platforms and different applications.
And once you found the one that you'd like to use,
you can simply tap on it.
It'll open up in your design editor
and just like any of our templates,
you can now edit elements like the text, the images
and the graphics.
But of course, now you can edit the video too.
You simply tap on the video layer.
And if you hit replace,
you'll be able to switch out that video content
with something uniquely yours.
Now, you can either draw from your personal device.
If you've shot some video with your phone,
you wanna add that to a template,
you can very easily do that.
But with a pro subscription to GoDaddy Studio,
you now have access to two separate video libraries.
The first of these is the Pixabay library,
which has thousands
of really high quality, royalty-free videos.
And these tend to be live action videos in landscape format.
So there's a bottomless well to explore there.
But then we also have the GoDaddy Studio videos collection,
that's something that we've created and curated specifically
for our customers.
And these are vertical story format videos
because that's really, really popular at the moment
and it includes a range of different styles, animations,
live action, and sort of textual background videos too.
So you are welcome to search for something
that you're looking for.
In this case, I'll go for travel,
find the video I wanna use, simply tap on it.
At this point,
I can trim it before adding it to my templates.
I'm just gonna use the original length
and I'll just add that into my design.
And now that video is really just a new layer
that I can edit like any photographic image.
I can perhaps add a photo filter
to give it a unique look and feel.
And I can also fine tune the adjustments
with things like warmth, fade, saturation, contrast
and all of that.
And then when you are ready to export your video,
you would simply tap the publish icon
at the top right-hand corner
and it will now save that video as a high res mov file
to your device.
Now, if you'd like to start your own design from scratch,
the process is really just as simple.
You would begin with your blank canvas
and then here in the bottom menu tray
where you select your images, text graphics and so on,
you would simply tap on video to access the libraries
that you're looking for.
And you could scroll around or search for the video
that you have in mind.
Simply tap on it.
Again, you are welcome to trim it if you need to,
otherwise just add it to your canvas.
And again, make any final adjustments if you would like.
And then as I said earlier,
your video is now really just an additional layer
in your design.
If I go to my layers view,
you'll see, I now have it here right at the top.
I've previously just made up a little basic design
to go with this.
And if I take this video,
take it all the way to the background,
then I'll see that the video serves as a background
to this Instagram post
and all the other elements like the image,
the shape, the text are all just added as layers
on top of my foundational video layer.
So once you get the knack of how easy it is,
you can start playing around
with different styles of course,
finding one that suits your brand best.
In this case,
I'm gonna try something a little bit more literal
and look for an image of a cocktail in the GoDaddy library.
I'll use something fun like this.
And again, just pop that into the image,
and just adjust the layers.
Again, I'm gonna take it all the way to the back.
And it really is that simple.
Of course, I can now resize, make adjustments and so on.
Let's just take a quick look at how easy it is
to use the Pixabay library in a similar way.
Again, I made this design very basically
in just a couple of minutes,
and then I'm going to search the Pixabay library
for cocktail this time.
And as expected, they have a wide range of options for me.
I simply find the one I'd like to use
and then just tap the check icon to add it into my design,
at which point I can just resize
and adjust that image to suit the design.
All right, something like that.
And then finally, a really cool idea to try out using video
as a layer is to use it as more of a textural layer
in your design.
So I've already made this up in just a few minutes.
I'm now going to add a video layer on top of that.
From the GoDaddy Studio library,
I'm going to search for sparkle
and let's see, something like this looks good.
I'm just gonna add that onto my design.
I'm gonna put it at the top,
and then I'm gonna use the blend mode.
So this is really cool.
The blend mode works for videos too,
and I would simply select the right format,
perhaps soft light works in this case.
And now you can see that there's just the subtle animation
that really brings this image to life.
So as you can see, regardless of your brand's style
or how you decide to use video,
there are countless creative options
and we've got all the resources you need
to really make video a powerful part
of your content strategy.
