How Vocal Video Solves the Challenges of Recording Video Ads the Traditional Way
Traditionally, video advertisements are highly-polished and extremely expensive to create. Using this system, you would usually hire a video production agency or a videographer and a professional video editor which could easily cost tens of thousands of dollars. While this process has proven to be effective in creating great-looking video ads that build brand awareness and convert customers, their cost means that, even if you have a healthy digital marketing budget, you may only be able to produce one or two ads in this way. These costly videos also usually have lead times of weeks, rather than hours or days, which means you have to plan far ahead for your video ad campaigns.
In contrast, Vocal Video has been specifically designed to make the process of recording and collecting product video testimonials easy for everyone — both marketers and users — while still providing professional-quality video results. You can produce as many video ads as you need, whenever you need them, and create them in response to changing market conditions. All at a fraction of the price of hiring a video production team.
You can easily record and edit effective testimonial videos whenever you want, and then embed those videos anywhere — whether that’s on product pages, landing pages, your homepage, across your online store, or on all your social media platforms.
Use Vocal Video to Record Your Own Video Commercials
Here’s how our recording and collection process works:
Ecommerce Customers Record a Video Ad Asynchronously
To get your eCommerce customers to record a video ad on your behalf using Vocal Video, you start by simply creating a video collector for each e-Commerce product you want a video ad for.
Vocal Video offers templates to make the process of setting up your video collector even easier. We have 45+ Video Templates for: Customers & Clients, Employees, Experts & Influencers, Partners & Investors, Education, Events, Medical, and Nonprofits.
Click here to see a range of templates for different use cases to make the video recording process completely hassle-free.
The video collector is an easy-to-build interface that guides your customers through recording a video step-by-step. They use the camera and mic on their own device (smartphone, tablet, or computer). They don’t need to download any new software or sign up for a service to start recording, and we’ll never ask them to do that, because we want to keep recording response rates high for you. They just access the link you send and click to start recording their video ad on your Vocal Video landing page.
You can ask the customers featured in your video between three and five questions. They can watch each of their responses back, and choose to record again if they aren't satisfied. When they finish answering each question in a short video and are happy with the results, they submit their complete video ad to you. It will be delivered in just a few minutes. The whole procedure is straightforward, requires no tutorials or explainer videos, and takes around 10 minutes to complete.
We Automatically Edit Your Video Ad (but You Can Also Edit It Yourself)
Vocal Video automatically edits all the videos your customers record. This saves you the time and trouble of doing it yourself, as well as the potential cost of hiring a professional video editor. Our automatic edits include:
- Adding your logo, colors, and branding across the video.
- Including your user’s name, title, and company in text overlays and intro slides.
- Introducing text slides of the questions you asked.
- Animated video transitions between ‘scenes’.
- Playing background music (which you can alter or remove).
- Concluding with a call-to-action.
- A computer transcription of the audio and automatic captions. (You can remove captions, but these are great for accessibility and SEO.)
Every video reaches you looking good enough to publish immediately, so you don’t need to edit it yourself, unless you choose to do that. You can add these automatically edited videos to your website, online store, product pages, and across your online channels using Vocal Video’s automatically generated embed codes and share link functionality.
If you’d like to make any additional changes to your video ad, you can use Vocal Video’s easy-to-use suite of video editing tools.
Vocal Video's in-platform editing tools let you:
- Trim scenes and answers to questions using a drag and drop tool.
- Alter the order of each scene in the video.
- Change logos, colors, branding, and background music.
- Modulate the volume of music throughout the video testimonial.
- Replace and edit text overlays and text slides.
- Edit automatic captions, or add subtitles in another language.
- Create highlight reels by stitching together several customer videos.
- And more…
Our video editing tools are designed for complete beginners to use, even if they have no previous experience with editing videos. However, there is no compromise on quality, as you can make professional-level changes with our simple drag-and-drop system.
