So here’s how to speed up video adoption on a business level (and make video creation feel like a walk in the park).

If you’re planning to showcase your product, create an explainer video or share any other content in video format, it’s probably one of the easiest tools to experiment with. They also allow you to add captions, styles and custom branding and offer commercially licensed music.
