Have questions? We’re here to help.
What social media platform is best for videos?
The best platform for publishing your video will depend on the content of the video and the target market. For example, YouTube is better suited to more long-form video content, whereas platforms like Instagram and TikTok are primarily intended for shorter video clips. Each platform has its own different video types that work best, so make sure to match up your video content to what is most popular on the platform. Other popular websites and apps for hosting video content include YouTube, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Vimeo, Dailymotion, Facebook, RingID and Wistia.
What is the best video editor for social media?
There are many video editors that you can use for making brilliant videos. You don’t always need a professional video maker working on Adobe Presenter Video Express, especially for social media clips that are intended to look a bit ‘scuffed’. An online video editor, such as PlayPlay, is ideal for making professional quality videos in minutes, without video editing skills. Use our editable templates and customize your video in minutes. You can also brand your video clip, add subtitles, create screen transitions, overlay graphics, add other assets like sound or music, and more.
How can I make a social media video?
- Plan and conceptualize the video: Determine the purpose and message of the marketing video you want to create, identify the target audience, and plan the content and format depending on the platform (YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, RingID...).
- Record or gather footage: Use a camera or smartphone to capture the necessary video footage or collect images, audio clips, and other assets that will be used to create the video.
- Edit the video clip : By using PlayPlay, you can create videos in minutes with templates. Add transitions, effects, music and incorporate text and graphics to help your content stand out.
- Publish and promote the video: Upload the video to the appropriate social media platform, write an engaging caption, and use relevant hashtags to reach your target audience. Promote the video clip with marketing by sharing it with followers, influencers, and other relevant individuals or organizations.
What equipment do you need for making social media videos?
The good news is that the only necessary equipment to create a social media video is a camera capable of taking videos, such as your smartphone! However, it's not free. There is additional equipment that is not strictly necessary but highly recommended including: a stabilizer, lighting like halo lights, and a mic.

It was often difficult… outsourcing video production makes the process more lengthy and not all creative decisions were under our control. With PlayPlay, we are much more intentional about planning and creating new visual content.

I love how fast it is to create videos with PlayPlay. Before, it would take weeks from the creative brief to the delivery of the video by the agency. Now it’s just a matter of hours and the videos look just as good!
