The video ad industry's smartest coverage is at Video Ad News, where @vinnyflood says "Shakr have simplified the workflow for creating video ads, so pretty much anyone can create a professional looking video ad for their business — often for as little as $50." http://www.videoadnews.com/2014/...

I tried it and must say you did a great job on the UX. Very easy to use. I tried the Light grey design in Apps but must say it doesn't work for our productivity app since the characters of the text are very limited so some more options to skip / add text fields would have been nice. I'll still keep Shakr bookmarked for other projects since the price is really reasonable. So thumbs up!

@danny_kleckers yikes thanks for the awesome feedback! We need to make a new version of the Light Grey design in Apps for you. Pro tip: you can enter 2 blank spaces in any text field to skip it. (Well, more like a hack to compensate for a feature we haven't developed yet... #brutaltruth)

@shoemates I want to buy your shoes! Checking out http://shoemates.de now. I hope you try out our other video designs, too! Split testing with different wording and creative assets within each video design is also helpful. The folks over at @adespresso know a thing or two about split testing. :-)

@shoemates that was super fast! I think we spent more time getting you a PH invite + access to commenting here, then the time it took you to make the video.

Wow. This is has the potential to be game changing and I can't even imagine what marketers are going to discover by being able to more rapidly test video creative. If Shakr can deliver on this promise, we might actually be able to test and create the amount of variations in ad creative we need to in order to be more successful with mobile video ads.

@hnshah very nice to meet you! That's definitely what we are working towards - many people advise us to raise our prices. Instead, I imagine a world where everyone can afford to create multiple videos for every campaign, split testing to get the best possible result. Shakr will eventually power video creative for some of the smartest ad tech companies out there, who are leveraging split testing for everything by video - because of the high upfront cost of professional video creative. To get there, we are exposing our API to select partners, and meanwhile every day the Shakr team and our community of over 1,000 independent designers is cranking hard to accumulate more video designs and better video designs.
