If you've come across brandible or brandable PDFs, you've probably also wondered how to brand videos. This way, even if a video has already been produced and uploaded to places like YouTube or Google Video, you can still place text on top of the video.
By adding text (such as your website URL) to a popular video, more people will learn about your site. Anyway, here's how to do it...
First of all, if you try to do this technique on a video that you did not create, be prepared to get a bunch of angry emails (or worse). Afterall, if you try to ride on the popularity of a vid, and use that to promote your web site, what do you think the owner or creator of the video will feel?
A better alternative is to brand videos that you own. You know, those videos that you uploaded months ago? The ones you no longer have time to re-edit via Windows Movie Maker just so that you could include or display your blog's www dot name?
You can use the tool called BubblePLY to add text or speech bubbles to existing videos (think cartoon talking bubbles). This is a fast and easy way to brand a video with your web site address.
You get more than branding benefits, too. Those bubbles can contain clickable text. In other words, people can easily visit your site just by clicking on some of the text in those bubbles. They don't need to remember your website domain name or type your site in the browser window.
All they'll need to do is click on the text in the bubble, which you can see in this BubblePLY.com demo
See how easy it is to create hotspots or embed hyperlinks on your videos for free? Or if you prefer to create videos for fun, these video bubbles will help you achieve that effect you see in shows such as The Fifth Wheel, where they suddenly display text beside someone's face.
Anyway, if you're interested in more video marketing tips, please post your question in the comment box below. Thanks!
