Pro tips
Make better video shorts for your company
You’ve got the basics down. Now it’s time to turn it up to 11 and really supercharge your short video creation skills! Keep these four things in mind when you’re crafting footage for social.
Keep it short and sweet
When it comes to video content on social media, shorter is better. So do yourself (and your business) a favor and make a 30-second video. Feelin’ crazy? See if you can knock out a 5-second video and really take the “short and sweet” motto to the max.
Just make sure your short video gets to the point fast and hooks viewers from the first scene.
Make it pretty
Modern consumers have short attention spans — especially when they’re on social media and there’s always another post, picture, or cat vid to see. To make sure your short videos grab attention, use eye-catching footage.
Didn’t take Film-Making 101? It doesn’t matter! The Biteable library is full of stellar stock footage, pre-made video scenes, and unique animations that pop right off the screen.
Lights, camera, action
To create a short video that wins on social media, you need text that incites curiosity, inspires action. If you can make your viewers think “Oh, what’s that?” and “Wow, I should buy that now!” you’ve won.
Oh yeah, and don’t forget to add captions to every short video you make, because most of your audience will probably watch your video on silent.
Blast it across the internet
You chose a template, customized the junk out of it, and edited it to perfection. Now what? Publish that beauty to the internet.
It won’t do you any good until you do. With Biteable, you can download your video or post it directly to any channel with a single, trackable link.

How can I create a short video?
Follow these steps to create a short video:
- Choose an online video maker. Pick a video maker with templates for making short videos.
- Keep your visuals consistent. Stick to one color pallet, 1-2 fonts, and a unified style for clips and animation.
- Brand your video. Add your logo at the beginning and end. Use your brand colors throughout.
What is the best app for making short videos?
The best app for making short videos is a matter of preference (of course, we’re partial to Biteable). But without naming names, the best advice is to find an app with smart editing capabilities that does a lot of the hard work for you. Look for auto-branding and plenty of pre-made scenes.
What is the best short video maker?
The best short video makers give you access to lots of visuals like high-quality stock clips and animations created in-house. As you choose a video maker for your short, also look for pre-made scenes and the ability to automatically add those scenes to your video. Premium features like in-app voice-over capabilities and in-app recording are also a big plus.
Where can I make videos for free?
There aren’t many options for making videos for free online without sacrificing quality. Free online video makers typically have low-quality stock clips and visuals. They also won’t have the editing features necessary to make a high-quality short video that gets noticed on social media. Instead, find an online video maker with a free trial so you can test it out first.
