Do you have videos that you have used in the past that you want to reuse? Great media is hard to discard. You want to find a way to bring it out again and have it work for you some more, right? It’s a shame to waste good media when you could repurpose it in another way. Have you ever thought about how you can reuse old video without making it obvious?
There are some different ways that you can reuse video. One way is to combine it with other types of media or insert the video in your Powerpoint presentations.
A more original way you can do that is by creating a video infographic. As you know infographics are visual graphics with relevant data that you can put on your websites, blogs, and social media to increase your engagement and interaction with your audience.
They are a type of asset that can be read, seen, and shared across multiple platforms. But what are video infographics? Let’s start with a definition.
What is a video infographic?
Video infographics are motion graphic animations that can be included in your infographic and created in a video form. You can do this in two basic ways. You can either create a video animation in the background of your static infographic to increase interest, or you can create a video based on your infographic.
Personally, we prefer creating a video based on your infographic as this captures the attention of people on a wider scale. Creating a video infographic involves the use of motion graphic video and animated explainer video techniques.
</h2>What is an explainer video?</h2>
An explainer video takes the perspective that you have a concept, process, or product that you need to explain to people who visit your site. It can be detailed or general, but it needs to explain something that people do not understand or need to know.
Explainer videos are done for the purpose of educating and informing an audience. However, the goal can be to sell the product in the end. In fact, statistics show that up to 65% of people say that they purchased a product after seeing an educational video about the product. (Insivia.com)
Other stats and data indicate the same thing. The more people see a video about something the more likely they are to purchase. So how well you do your explainer videos and video infographics will determine much of your revenue.
The Power of Repurposing
Just like any of your good content, you want to be able to use it again but in a fresh way so that people will perceive it as new. So, if you have a video that worked well for you, why not include it in your video infographic? You can take the data that you want to include from a static infographic and combine it with a video that brought you success in the past.
By streamlining the good stuff from both types of media, you can create a great video infographic that will turn heads and get you noticed.
Why use animation in video?
It’s a fact that people love animated video. This is much more popular than any “talking head” or presentation style video with your audience. That’s because it is more entertaining and seems to hold their interest longer. By including animation in your video with your infographic, you are more likely to get and keep their attention.
Adding Animation to Your Old Videos
One great idea is to add the new animation to your video that features talking head or other types of video. It’s fine to have a testimonial or two from customers in your video that you want to keep. But add some custom animation around this to liven up your message in a new way and raise the level of engagement.
How to Create a Video Infographic
So now we get to the part where you are thinking about how to create your video infographic. There are some ways you can create your video infographic. You can do it yourself using various types of rendering or editing software. Basic computer digital editing software such a Pinnacle or Adobe Premiere will work for that. But that does take some time and skill if you are going to achieve the results you want.
Outsource it!
Another way is to hire it out with a freelance producer or video editor. You can find these creative artists on sites such as Guru.com or other freelancing sites.
But if you want to achieve the best, most professional results, you may want to consider a professional infographic design team.
