Cool Online Video Creation Tools

There are LOTS of excellent tools online that let us create cool video content that we can use in our Camtasia (or even PowerPoint) videos!

In this Screencast Coaching Webinar excerpt, I’ll cover some of my favorites. I’ll touch on when and how to use them effectively and offer some top strategic thinking to get the most bang for the buck:

Here are links to the resources:

1. PowToon – Decent online animation creator. Pretty good for “typography” style videos!
2. DropMock Pitch – Super easy & quick video ads.
3. DropMock Suite – Hundreds of customizable images & video clips.
4. Viddyoze Live Action – Logos & images rendered into moving camera scenes.
5. PresenterMedia – Stupid easy customized video clips.
6. RawShorts – Interesting presentation-style animation platform.
7. Wave – new system that I’m just starting to play with.

With the exception of doing short video ads, I don’t usually try to create complete videos using these tools but rather chunks of video clips or content that I can weave into a more comprehensive video project (usually in Camtasia).

I like the tools…but they are NOT video editing programs.

If you use these tools for their intended purpose, they can be excellent and cost effective resources to help you make better, more professional videos!
