The basics
Tips for making your Facebook video shine
The question shouldn’t be if you’ll make video ads for Facebook, it should be how. Biteable’s video maker turns a daunting task into a fun one, helping you craft an unforgettable and effective Facebook video that piques interest where you want it.
A sizzling start
An attention-grabbing intro is essential for a successful Facebook video. Think about your brand and the problem your product or service solves. Create a bond with your potential customers by telling them how your product makes their lives easier. Couple that with some big effects and punchy scenes from the Biteable library, and you’ll have people smashing that Like button faster than you can eat a bag of popcorn at a movie marathon.
Lean and mean
Just because you can upload lengthy videos to Facebook doesn’t mean you should. In fact, you’d be surprised to know that your video is way more likely to generate interest by keeping it short and shareable. We’re talking around 30 seconds long.
Think about the most viral videos of the past decade. You’d be hard-pressed to find any that are over a minute long. Keeping your Facebook video short and sweet means you’ll get to the point sooner and people will be more likely to stick around to the end. And that will drive them to like your page and become a supporter of your brand.

Pro tips
How to optimize your Facebook video for best results
Once you’ve made your winning Facebook video, there are a few extra things to take care of before you send it out into the world. These quick steps will go a long way to making your Facebook video the best it can be.
Choose the right objective
Optimizing your Facebook video for the right audience is easy. Select the objective for your video (if you want to paint in broad strokes, select ‘Brand Awareness’) and select the demographic – you can be as specific or as broad as you like.
Don’t neglect the details
When it comes to optimizing videos for Facebook, it’s all in the details.
Make your title clear and descriptive.
Add a short, clear, and descriptive title that tells people what your Facebook video is about at a glance.
Pick an eye-catching thumbnail.
Next, choose a thumbnail (pick the most eye-catching frame you can find). Your thumbnail is what stops the scroll, so don’t skimp on this step! With Biteable, you can easily choose any frame in your video to be your thumbnail.
Add relevant tags to make your Facebook video searchable.
Get wider exposure by helping new people find your video. Add relevant tags so your Facebook video comes up in searches for similar topics.
Make your Facebook video stunning without sound
About 85% of Facebook videos are watched without sound, and the last thing you want is to take up precious seconds with a message asking people to turn their sound on (they usually don’t).
If your Facebook videos include important audio, make sure you include onscreen text and/or subtitles so the message isn’t lost.
Take advantage of animated text
With or without sound, animated text is a brilliant way to catch the viewer’s eye. Biteable has a team of in-house animators creating amazing, colorful, and playful animated text scenes you can use in your videos. Check out some of our animated video templates.
