And finally — the most interesting!
Any animation works better than a static picture. A cool animated video works much more efficiently than “just animation”. But how do you achieve that subtle “wow” effect?

We honestly talked about the Biteable, Renderforest, Wideo and Invideo platforms with built-in templates, free and paid plans. Simple animation on them can be done at no cost at all — but the video will be cut down in resolution and / or length, and a platform watermark will appear on it.

So, free or paid plan? Ahhh… there is another great opportunity!
