How To Make a BETTER Sales Video
How to make a talking-head style video BETTER in 4 easy steps.
If I can clarify one point first … I’m not an advocate of using the talking-head style video for a sales video.
They’re GREAT for testimonials. That being said … let’s move on.
TRANSFORM YOUR TALKING-HEAD VIDEO INTO A POWERHOUSE.
There are four steps to this process. You’ll see how to do it yourself … or if you’d rather have me do it for you, please let me know. The best way to reach me is on FACEBOOK.
Step 1.
If you have already recorded your webcam video and there is background noise, the best way to remove the noise is in an audio editing program. My favorite is Adobe Audition. Others will do the job just fine. Select a NOISE REMOVAL TOOL. Most of the time you’ll find this in the effects plugins. When removing noise, be careful to always do a BEFORE & AFTER comparison because it’s easy to remove too much noise, and make your audio sound like it’s garbled or under water. Generally speaking DON’T remove ALL the noise. Sometimes even a 30% to 50% removal is enough to make it sound significantly better.
Many audio programs will open a video file. While you can’t edit any of the visuals, it WILL allow you to tweak and edit the soundtrack for your video.
Step 2.
Jim’s new video opens with some MOTION VIDEO ELEMENTS from volume 8. They are available here. He used a blue background for the video, from the same collection.
These were added to the timeline in a video production program (just about any one will do the trick).
The original (talking-head) video was added to the timeline … this time with the cleaned audio track.
A CALL TO ACTION was selected also (from MOTION VIDEO ELEMENTS) and added to the end of the video.
Step 3.
A little high energy music was added. A 30-second clip through the intro, and the same one was faded back in at the end of the video. This piece is available at PLR MUSIC.
Though the cleaning of the audio (step 1) was done in an audio editor, the music was added in the video software.
Step 4.
For some customization, Jim added his URL to the bottom of the entire video, and a few CUSTOM MOTION VIDEO ELEMENTS. (Video Elements used in packages can be ordered as a custom edit – YOUR WORDS from an EXISTING TEMPLATE.)
DONE!
Upon completion, the video was checked, and then rendered (output from the video program into a watchable video clip). From there it can be added to your web site, shared on FaceBook, or uploaded to YouTube.
