Does your video need to be professionally produced and super sleek?
Video content on Facebook is about connecting to people in a real and tangible way. You can’t spend a ton of time and money on videos that are cold and unrelatable. Create fun videos that people will relate to. No need to be a professional video producer.
Don’t want to bother with videos? Create cinemagraphs on your own!
Cinemagraphs are pretty much made for cover videos. Traditional video, filled with lots of different cuts, scenes, and chatter, may appear busy on a Facebook Profile or Page. Cinemagraphs, on the other hand, have a more classy appeal. They require no sound, contain a perfect loop, and draw attention without screaming for it.
You can use Cinemagraph Pro to create and share your free Facebook Profile Video! Check out our tutorial below to learn how. And don’t forget you can try Cinemagraph Pro for macOS or Cinemagraph Pro for iOS free.
