Video Backgrounds as Web Eye Candy

Video has become the most powerful tool in visual communication surpassing pictures and images. It is able to convey clear messaging to a wide audience as well as focus the viewers attention on any topic. A visually appealing video is a super way to showcase your products, service or brand and take the user experience to a more interactive level. For this reason, reative and professional videos are becoming increasingly popular in Web marketing today.

Now a web designers and video editors are creating cool visual effects using inexpensive video backgrounds. Any web video can be created in Flash, QuickTime or even HTML5, however the most popular web video format is still Flash. To enable the rich multi-device experience, it is worth considering adding videos for those users who have a browser/device that may not support Flash.

Video backgrounds are great for entertainment, special offers and web presentions to communicate messaging, branding and events. As you will see, they work very well in portfolio websites, E-commerce websites and promotional video campaigns. Across the Anistock site you will find a large collection of video backgrounds, video loops and animations that will help you implement this web eye candy at full screen.

Background Video Templates

Background video templates are great for video and web presentations—situations when you want the user to see the main topics of a video and be able to navigate quickly to them.

You can choose many formats, including flash video templates, where some of the more sophisticated features, such as synchronizing content on the screen with video playback can be executed plus you should have little trouble modifying any video template to work for your own purposes.

Flash video templates or background video templates allows you to apply special touches to bring a presentation to life for your company. Add your own video, re-size it, and then position it anywhere on a web page Add your company graphics and colors to any part of a presentation, including the background Update the text, graphics, or colors.

Once you have your theme, you can change a video template to fit your needs for web, video or video marketing.

Blending images and text with a video presentation is a great way to bring a corporate-type presentation to life on the web. Compared to static slide shows, a video presentation captivates audiences because it combines audio, video, and animation.

Video Background

Video background for web inspiration.

One area we have a trend develop over the past year is websites
using full page videos as their backgrounds. With a little bit of work
you can have a web video or animation background where your user can control the video
just by the move of your mouse or you could decide to just let it play on it’s own.

Its now so easy, just purchase a pre-made video background, animation or flash video file, maybe
edit in your logo and add some text, install some basic code and you’re off.
A tip is ensure your Video background is loaded on the first layer in the file (HTML/XML),
everything else goes above the video layer, so all your graphics will show above the video.
Also to create a real wow factor, have the video hidden on the start,until a few seconds of the video
are loaded, then we fade IN the video, nice.

To get your video background or animation to blend in, select one with a specific theme
and color that compliments your website brand. An abstract video background can have
an amazing effect when blended in with nice fonts and images. So why not look around
the Anistock video backgrounds animation library, lots of inspiration for a video background
to use in your web design. Enjoy.
