Are you able to export/download these video files and do they have any branding on them after purchase?
Anton Eliasson
@anandp29 when you make a video for free there will be a watermark over it which can be removed by buying the video. You can also download it after purchasing without any branding, just a clean mp4. One thing to note is that the music is included in the final video and is pre-cleared for copyright issues, often just the music licensing can be more expensive on its own than with Shakr because of our partnerships with great music libraries!

@anandp29 your first two videos are free if you 1) use the code in the "GET IT" button at the top of our Product Hunt page, and 2) share the love about Shakr by tweeting about us or posting to FB. Looking forward to helping you make SUPER AWESOME videos!

@j00st a local Indian restaurant used Shakr to make high quality videos then put them on a TV in front of their door. They added over 20 tables per day, with average revenue of $100 per table. That's an extra $40,000 in monthly revenue, from spending just $100 on video ad creative at Shakr.com.

Great tool. That's why I put the tool like one of my favorite platforms for Video Marketing in 2016: https://medium.com/a-data-driven...

Used Shakr before to create videos for our startup. Considering we were bootstrapping and didn't have a designer at the time, it would have been nearly impossible to create videos without it. With Shakr, we were able to create an app video to use on our Google Play listing as well as for Facebook video ads. We will be creating another video this week for our new service.

@victor_ching super glad you were able to get a great video with Shakr done on budget! I hope you're taking advantage of the free promo code offer in PH. Use the GET APP button at the top of the page. :-) Thanks again and good luck with your app!

@onemorejsmith we started Shakr at a time when there was a competitive landscape congested with companies that helped people make photo slideshow style videos. It was competition mainly on the basis of making it easier to make a crappy video. At Shakr, we focused first and foremost on building deep strength to make great video creation, SUPER AWESOME video creation possible for many. To do so, we painstakingly built a video rendering platform that is broadly compatible with Adobe After Effects, motion graphics designers' far-and-away top choice for producing video ads. We then attracted a community of over 1,000 video designers, many of whom have done top work for big brands like Nike, Samsung and BMW. These pro designers put their video designs into Shakr, choosing what to make and how much to charge. Shakr’s users are using these video designs to make SUPER AWESOME video ads that are driving phenomenal business results. Here are a few examples: Britesoles, a dazzlingly fun shoe brand, used Shakr to drive 9x more likes on Facebook as compared to image ads. The Zam, a fast-growing Korean lingerie brand says that a Facebook Video Ad with 2.9 million views made using Shakr is their top-performing source of revenue among all ads. http://fb.com/thezambehind/video... After seeing stellar growth, The Zam posted a video seeking out bricks-and-mortar resellers. http://fb.com/thezambehind/video... We’ve seen local flower shops get into digital billboard advertising at Seoul’s busiest intersection, Gangnam Station, with video made for just $50 at Shakr. Retailers are running video ads on subway stations, and a local indian restaurant drives an additional $20,000 a month in revenue simply by putting a video made at Shakr on a TV in front of their restaurant entrance. Shakr has a lot more video designs to choose from, more than all of our competitors combined. But it’s not just about quantity, which is important because more marketers can find the right design for them. It’s also about quality. Because Shakr sources its designs from professional designers that have made awesome videos for big brands, we’re putting Fortune 500 results in the hands of mid-market marketers and small businesses. So what makes us different from the competition? SUPER AWESOME video is what sets us apart. Try making a video for yourself, and see what makes Shakr super awesome. Thanks!
