Getting Started

• How does SpotMixer work?

  It's easy! First, create a video. Just pick a template to start or use the video we provided based on your registration information. We have hundreds of templates from which to choose. Second, upload your content (photos, video, music, and voiceovers) or select from our library of stock content. Third, fill in text with your business information for the video. Then, select publishing options and target your campaign to start advertising online!

• How do I get started?

  We've made the creation process very easy. When you register, we use your registration information to create a default video for you. You can use this video or create your own from scratch, using our easy creation process and robust set of video ad templates.
  
  Once you have your video, add that video to your online marketing efforts. With Video Hosting, you get an embed code to add the video to your website and a Video Web Page. You can also run a targeted online video ad campaign at any time. To do this, just set a daily budget and duration, and let us know who you'd like to target — we'll take care of the rest.

• How much does it cost to use SpotMixer?

  Creating a Video Ad is always free. The cost of the service depends on the publishing options you choose. Please see our pricing page for more detailed pricing information.

• Why should I make a Video Ad with SpotMixer instead of hiring a videographer or using software?

  Until now, there have been only two ways to produce a Video Ad — either find and hire a local videographer or buy and learn complicated software. The services of a professional videographer are more expensive than SpotMixer and you won't have direct control over the final results. If you were to attempt to make the same quality montage with computer software, you would face considerably greater expense, learning time, and potential storage issues on your computer.

• What browser versions are supported?

  Our service is supported by most major browsers. For the best results when creating and viewing a Video Ad, we recommend that you use the latest version of Firefox or Internet Explorer. You can download the latest versions of these browsers by visiting:
