DESIGNED FOR SUCCESS

Get started easily with storyboard templates

BEAUTY TUTORIAL

STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS

Give your audience a quick educational tutorial that guides them through a process. Add or remove directions from our storyboard to make your video longer or shorter. Include bold, eye-catching text effects to make each step stand out.

HELPFUL TUTORIAL

Show your audience how your product works. Create an informational video that commands attention, using bright colors and well-placed text that illustrates how to use your product, all while showing off its best features.

WHY MAKE DIY VIDEOS

SHARING YOUR TUTORIALS

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Why DIY videos are so effective

  1. PEOPLE WANT TO LEARN FROM THE BEST
  2. Customers prefer to buy from people they know, like, and trust. A professional video that displays your expertise will give audiences a way to identify you as an authority. Then when viewers need help from a professional in your field, they'll think of your video—and you—first.

  3. TUTORIALS EXPLAIN VISUALLY
  4. Breaking down a process with video makes it easy for your audience to understand exactly what to do and how. A DIY video takes your audience through each step in a process, so they won't get confused or lost, the way they might with just text or static images.

  5. VIDEOS BUILD YOUR PROFILE ON SOCIAL
  6. Posting content that's valuable to your audience is part of growing a brand on social. The more you provide video tutorials that helps your audience solve problems or give fresh education, the more they'll like, comment, or share.

SUCCESS STORY

See how this blog created a viral hit with video

Lifestyle blog Peanut Blossom wanted to promote a new tutorial on their blog, showing how to create DIY holiday ornaments. When their posts featuring static images fell flat, Peanut Blossom decided to give Animoto a try.

The site started with Animoto’s Step-based Tutorial storyboard, and in a few minutes they were able to drag and drop photos and video clips they already had right into their project. After adding some text, Peanut Blossom shared their video tutorial on Facebook and their website. The DIY video was a hit, amassing 1.4 million views and adding 5,500 followers to Peanut Blossom’s Facebook page.
