Our take
Online videos are invaluable to the digital marketing campaigns of businesses, and this relies on content creation from video editing experts. However, hiring such staff can be expensive and work can be slow, showing a gap in the market for video creation tools that require no expertise in video editing that can rapidly turn around content.
PlayPlay provides an online video creation tool for businesses, providing an end-to-end toolkit of drag-and-drop interfaces, stock video libraries, layout templates, automatic subtitling, and other automated editing suggestions. The platform also allows businesses to integrate their branding elements directly into every video created, ensuring each video is customized without the need for manual branding every time.
Whilst video editing software such as Adobe Premier Pro dominates the way content creators create videos for businesses, these tools require expertise and experience, and PlayPlay recognized that this results in large expenditure. Through its accessible, end-to-end, and user-friendly approach, the company claims that its video editing tool can help businesses create branded videos faster at a larger scale without expensive staffing requirements.
