The more details you provide, the fewer iterations you will need.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-5422\" src=\"https:\/\/colibriwp.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/script.jpg\" alt=\"Video script\" width=\"610\" height=\"263\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, try to keep it short. If you\u2019re doing a Facebook ad, make sure to introduce really quickly the benefits, the main idea&#8230;because people have a short attention span and don\u2019t always get to the end of a video. Squeeze some hooks along the story to make people stick for more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check this <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/watch\/?v=759349284565097\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">video ad <\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">for eToro!

Wow, you really got my attention here, let\u2019s see what you want from me.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Video design inspiration<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could check the competitions\u2019 demos, their Youtube videos, Fiverr portfolios.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also go look at some stock videos and templates on<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/videos\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Pexels<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (some of them are free, but always check the requirements, if they are for commercial use or not), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/stock.adobe.com\/video\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adobe Stock<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (these templates can be used in Adobe\u2019s editing products, such as Premiere Pro), <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/elements.envato.com\/video-templates\/pg-2\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Envato<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (compatible with Adobe Premiere Pro), or more.

Take it baby steps, your next video can be a bit more complex.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re not sure if you\u2019re moving in the right direction, ask for feedback from friends, work colleagues, or some customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.
