How to Make Animations for Video Squeeze Page?

by The Oilman
3 replies
I'd love to make an animated video sales pitch -- a real cheesy infomercial style thing. IT will basically say all the info that is on the long page below it. So it will continue to work for SEO, but also grab the interest of the large population of people who don't read anything.

Does anyone know of any SIMPLE program I can use to do animations, such as product shots swirling in and out of the page, and zooming in and out on things, etc?

I realize I could use camtasia with powerpoint, but can it still be done and look professional?

    I've seen some OK ones done with Keynote on a Mac. You can get photos to zoom and pan in Windows Movie Maker, I believe.

    High-end animation tends to be done in Adobe After Effects (which is expensive but has a one-month free trial, although also a steep learning curve) or Apple Motion.

    Hmmm
    Yeah I dont have a mac....

    I'd like to do something that writes on the screen and just looks like everything non-video as seen on any mainstream commercial..

    Hmm i wonder how much it would cost to outsource..

    I think some people also use PhotoStory, which I believe is free. Microsoft Photo Story 3 for Windows: make show-n-tell cool again

    Writing on screen is tough with the free programs unless you can find a preset.

    I do also do videos like what you're talking about, if you want to shoot me a PM.
