3 Tricks to Create Video Ads on a Budget

There are a plethora of low-cost video editing programs available to assist you in creating profitable video ads.

1. Use screen recorders for demo-style ads

For the videos we have on the Paid Media Pros YouTube channel, we use a tool called Camtasia. This software allows us to record our screens as well as ourselves to make our demo-style videos.

Am I saying this is a video I would put out for advertising? Of course not. I just wanted to show you some of the features which included:

Here are some applications that are comparable to Camtasia and may be used to create demo-style video ads: 

  1. Try video templates for commercial-style ads

If you want to create a more commercial-style video ad, there are plenty of good video templates out there. The provider my clients use the most is Promo. Here is a basic look into what they have.

Video templates are sorted in a variety of ways such as platform (YouTube, Facebook, etc.), industry (Ecommerce, Real Estate, etc.), and more. Promo also has the option to create 6-second bumper ads.

Here’s a preview of one of the marketing templates they have. I didn’t change anything in the template.

You can alter any of the text elements to say whatever you want in the spaces. You can choose from a variety of music to complement the appearance and feel of your business or promotion. You may also add your own media to any of the templates to further customize the video.

Video template tools to try

There are many template sites out there for making memorable video ads Here is a list linked to each of their pricing pages so you see how much these tools cost (which isn’t a lot compared to an actual video shoot).

  1. Use mobile tools for social video ads

There are additional solutions if the only camera your business has is on your phone, in addition to software and tools for the desktop. These tools are also more suited for making video content for social ads on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and other platforms. 

Many apps have templates, such as the ones we saw in the previous section (since many of them do have desktop versions). Ripl created the one below.

Mobile video tools to try

Here is a list of some of the apps you may want to check out for creating social media video content, like Facebook video ads. I’ll mix iPhone vs. Android to be fair:
