One True Media

One True Media is another site where you can produce short videos from images to promote your site, goods and services and then submit to various video sharing sites for more exposure.
In my last post I talked about Animoto where you could generate short videos made from images on your hard drive mixed with effects and sound tracks from Animoto to produce eye catching free videos up to 30 secs long or you can pay $3 for longer videos.
Today I will like to focus on another website that offers a similar service where you can produce great videos from images and videos that you already have on your computer. These videos, once produced can then be used to promote your products and services and also submitted to free video sharing sites for more exposure and to capture traffic to your site.
One True Media offers a free service and a premier service with more tools for a monthly subscription of $3.99 or annual subscription of $39.99. Once a member you have access to more than I will mention here so check out for yourself at One True Media.
Start a new montage or slideshow and upload your images and video clips. During the video the software zooms into your images and if your images are not of good enough quality your will be informed during the production. In montage mode you can add videoclips amongst other things. After the images are uploaded you can review the video so far then move to editing mode to re-order the images to your taste. You can add text slides to the beginning or end with your website address or other useful information. Next you can add effects and transitions before saving your work.
In the styles section there are lots of templates for turning your video into a great piece of artwork but not necessary for the type of video I have in mind for promoting your services and products. The last section is where you can add background music from a playlist. There is a lot more choice for paid members than for free members. You can upload tracks and the onus is on you to upload tracks that are copyright free.
Once the soundtrack is added and you are happy with your video then you have a choice of what you want to do with your production. In this case we choose ‘Share and Post Online’ and then ‘Grab Links and Codes’. Here you can change the appearance and size of the player and name your video. Click continue and you can choose the code for the purpose that your video is being used for. In this case the embed code for embedding the video that you can see below.
This is a great site for producing professional looking videos to promote your goods and services from a handful of imges and then embedding the video into your site or submitting it to countless video sites. Check it out now at One True Media.
