Videos are engaging, easy to understand, and can simplify even the most complex topics. But here’s the thing: even the best videos can lose their spark over time if they’re not updated to keep up with changing trends or fresh branding.
Think about it: have you ever watched a video that felt a little… dated? Maybe the style wasn’t quite in line with today’s design standards, or the visuals didn’t pop the way they should. It’s a subtle thing, but it can make a big difference in how your message is received.
Giving your videos a fresh new look has never been easier with simpleshow video maker.
With just a click, you can now switch up the illustration style of your video, instantly making it feel more modern and perfectly aligned with your brand. Learn how this simple update can breathe new life into your communication strategy.
Introducing simpleshow's new style-switching feature
simpleshow’s style-switching feature allows you to transform the visual style of your videos with just one click. Instead of starting from scratch, you can instantly apply a fresh, modern look to your content while preserving its core message and structure.
Imagine you created a video in clean style a year ago. The content is still highly relevant, but you want to give it a more modern edge. By switching to sharp style, you instantly transform the look and feel of the video without compromising the message. The new look integrates your brand colors and keeps all elements consistent, giving your audience a fresh and visually appealing experience.
It’s really easy:
1. On your video dashboard, click the 3 dots on the video you want to change and select the “Switch Style” option.
2. Browse through the available styles (e.g., classic, clean, sharp) and select the one you want to apply.
3. simpleshow will create a copy of your video with the new style applied. This ensures your original video remains unchanged.
4. Your account’s brand colors will automatically adapt to the new style, and all characters and backgrounds will be refreshed to match.
Why refreshing your videos matters
Imagine you’re scrolling through your inbox and spot a video link from a colleague. You click on it, excited for the content, but within seconds, you’re distracted. The visuals look outdated, the animation feels stiff, and the style doesn’t resonate with you. Without even realizing it, you’ve tuned out—and so has your interest in the message. This is the silent risk every business faces when their communication videos don’t evolve with the times.
Staying relevant is key to engaging your audience. Business communication videos are no exception. They’re powerful tools for delivering information, simplifying complex ideas, and building stronger connections with your target audience. But like any tool, they need maintenance and updates to remain effective. Here’s why refreshing your videos is essential:
1. Keep up with modern design trends
Visual styles evolve just like fashion. What looked sleek and professional five years ago might now feel dated. Audiences are drawn to fresh, contemporary designs that reflect current aesthetics. Updating your videos to align with these trends ensures that your brand appears modern, innovative, and in tune with the times.
2. Reflect changes in your branding
Businesses develop, and so do their brands. Whether you’ve updated your logo, adjusted your brand colors, or redefined your voice, your videos should follow suit. Consistency across all communication channels—including video—reinforces brand recognition and credibility.
3. Resonate with your audience
Different audiences prefer different visual styles. A minimalist, clean design might resonate with tech-savvy professionals, while a vibrant, character-driven approach could appeal to younger audiences. Refreshing your videos allows you to tailor your communication to the preferences and expectations of your viewers.
4. Maximize the lifespan of your content
Creating a great video takes time and effort. But what happens when the visuals no longer feel up to date? Instead of starting from scratch, a refresh can extend the lifespan of your existing content. By updating the style and keeping the core message intact, you can breathe new life into your videos without reinventing the wheel.
5. Make your content evergreen
Your competitors are vying for the same audience’s attention. By consistently updating your videos, you not only maintain a competitive edge but also demonstrate that your business is proactive, forward-thinking, and dedicated to delivering value.
