Do you need Presentation Background Music?

April 10, 2008

The popularity of video on the internet has grown very quickly in the last coulple of years, just a few years ago video was just for companies with a huge budget and could hire producers, directors, music experts and a whole team of people.

However, now things have changed, now anyone can very easily and cheaply acquire the technology necessary to make video presentation, video clips and even live video. One of the most popular ways to create video for small businesses and individuals is video presentations with slide shows.

Creating presentations with slide shows is very easy and simple you just create a power point presentation and just recorded with camtasia studio and you will have your video ready, however you will need presentation background music.

If you dont use music in your presentation even if you are using your voice to explain your slides it will not have an impact in your prospects and will get boring.

You need to find royalty free music or buyout music and use it as background music in your slide show. What you need to do is choose a music track that helps reinforce your message, depending on what is your objective and what market your are targeting.

However most of the times it is recommended to use some kind of music that is energetic and resounds in your audience. Most of the big companies use very moving and energetic music in their commercials because that gets their prospects attention and maintains them interested in the video.

You can find presentation background music by searching for production music or royalty free music in your favorite search engine, just make sure that you use some samples first and the quality is good. If you feel that the music quality is not top notch or it doesent provoke you any feelings then it might not be the right music for your project.

5 Easy Ways To Use Video To Attract More Clients

April 9, 2008

1) Create a Photo Montage- Do you have photos of your products, workshops, clients, or yourself? Then you can easily create a video for your website. If you are using Windows XP you already have the tool to do this without buying any additional software. Windows Movie Maker has drag and drop features to make creating and editing your movie easier. It allows you to import photos and create a photo montage with background music and fancy video transitions. You can then use this same tool to upload your video to a video sharing website. Don’t worry MAC users, newer MACs come with a video editing tool called IMovie. But if you don’t have this software already it is available to purchase.

2) Video Testimonials- If you work with your clients one on one or provide workshops, why not collect video testimonials from them. All you need is a simple video camera and tripod and you’re ready to go. You don’t need a special microphone or videographer, because the camera microphone will do just fine. But if you would feel more comfortable you could hire an aspiring movie director from your local community college. Your clients will love being on camera and feel honored you asked them. Then use the same video editing software to get just the right clips and upload them to your website or youtube. New clients will be so impressed!

3) Webcam video of you- Do you have a webcam? If not they cost around $50 and are very easy to use. You can use your webcam to record a special video message discussing your free newsletter and the upload the video to your website. I recommend a service called Instant Video Generator that makes this whole process so easy.

4) Video clip of a recent media interview- Were you recently interviewed on television? If so as long as you receive permission you can display this video clip on your website. If you can’t use the clip directly on your website you can always link to their website, but be careful to check the link frequently to make sure that it is still active. Having a video clip from a media outlet gives you instant credibility with potential clients.

5) Video of your product in action- Website visitors thinking about purchasing a product love to see how it works or people using it. Create a home movie of your product in action. For example, if you’re a wedding planner what about a home movie clip of your latest wedding? Or if you sell purses you could create a video of people wearing your purses.

Now before adding any audio/visual elements to your website please keep in mind these tips. Don’t overwhelm your website visitor. Limit you’re elements to one or two per page and only use only one element that plays automatically. Also, you don’t need the most expensive camera, microphone, editing software, or webcamera to get started. Below are my top recommendations for the technology you will need to get started.
