Creating a business video<\/a> is a daunting task. Whether you are target<\/span>ing clients, employees, shareholders, or managers<\/span>, your final piece needs to look polished and professional. Every visual communication platform<\/a> has a learning<\/span> curve, but most professionals are either too busy to tackle a new tool or so overwhelmed with all the advanced features that they never get a firm<\/span> grasp on the basics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A Visual Communication Platform for Every Skill Level<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With features like the best AI video maker<\/a>, Powtoon<\/span> is a video<\/span> creation tool that is perfect for creators of any skill level. Users can toggle between \u201cedit\u201d and \u201ccreate\u201d modes based on their skill and comfort level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In \u201ccreate\u201d mode, users<\/span> can access all the advanced creative<\/span> and animation<\/span> features that Powtoon<\/span> has to offer; they can make major edits to existing templates or create a video<\/span> from the ground up. In \u201cedit\u201d mode, users<\/span> can start with one of Powtoon\u2019s ready-made templates and use the intuitive editor to customize it. The result is a professional-quality video<\/span> that can be created in less than five minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t believe us<\/span>? We\u2019ll prove it.<\/p>\n\n\n

A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating an Employee Engagement Video with Powtoon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To create a quick and easy video, do the following:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

After you create a Powtoon account<\/a>, you\u2019ll enter your main Workspace. On your left side, you will have the option to get started with a template, import an existing PowerPoint<\/span> presentation, or start from scratch. <\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also simply choose the type of video that suits your objectives (e.g., animated explainer, social media, whiteboard, etc.) or try out new features to enhance your content by selecting from a variety of options available right on the top of the workspace. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are creating videos for a specific niche, you have the option to select a template based on different topics (e.g., marketing strategy, onboarding, training, etc.) You\u2019ll then see a customized list of professionally designed templates optimized to work for your project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this case, we\u2019re creating a marketing video for social media, so selecting that specific category produces a curated collection of potential templates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Click on individual templates to preview them. When you find one you like, select \u201cEdit in Studio\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now it\u2019s time to make it yours! Choose your preferred aspect ratio<\/a>, edit the text, and customize it with your brand<\/span> colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Insert your logo to add a more professional look.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customize each slide of the template. This can be as simple or complex as you choose. Use the template as-is or make it unique with engaging fonts, colors, branded characters, and animation<\/span> effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your template has photos or videos<\/span>, upload assets you have on hand or choose one from Powtoon\u2019s huge library of royalty-free stock photos and videos<\/span>. If one of the existing objects doesn\u2019t suit your video<\/span>, swap it out for one of the thousands of options in the Powtoon<\/span> media library.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve perfected your creation, it\u2019s time to share<\/span> it with the world! You can create a custom link, download it as an MP4, publish it directly on integrated platforms like HubSpot, Wistia, or Vimeo, or even create Gifs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And if you have trouble during any part of the process, the Powtoon Help Center<\/a> is just a click away in the bottom right-hand corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Make Your Own Videos!<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now that you\u2019ve seen how simple it is to make a video<\/span>, it\u2019s your turn! Create a free account<\/a> with Powtoon<\/span> and start using fun, engaging, and customized videos<\/span> in your team meetings, internal comms, and employee training programs<\/span>.
