Introducing SocialArchive’s New Video Creation Tool
Make Custom Videos from Your Archive in Minutes
Creating videos can be time-consuming, especially with conventional editing tools that require multiple steps, software, and technical skills. From gathering materials to editing, selecting audio, and finally exporting a shareable version, video creation has traditionally been a labour-intensive task. Recognising this challenge, we are thrilled to announce a powerful new feature that transforms video creation into a quick, intuitive, and user-friendly experience.
Our new Video Creation feature allows users to create custom videos directly from the SocialArchive platform. With this tool, you can assemble videos in just a few clicks, filtering by person, location, time period, or any specific theme. This streamlined process means you’re no longer bogged down by the technical side of video creation and can quickly and easily create any number of videos to share with your community.
The Advantages of Simplified Video Creation
Video content has become a powerful tool for engaging audiences but creating it can demand a lot of time and resources. Our new feature is designed to reduce the effort required to make professional-looking videos, enabling you to produce high-quality, impactful content with ease.
With our video creation feature, you can add audio clips directly from your archive, upload background music, record memories from members of your community, or even have articles automatically narrated—with no need for external editing software.
Imagine creating a memorable video for an alumni reunion, celebrating a notable alumni, or capturing a school milestone in minutes. Instead of spending hours combing through files and organising assets, our new feature lets you access, select, and assemble your video without ever leaving the platform. This seamless integration means you’re just a few clicks away from a finished product that’s ready to share with alumni, and your wider school community.
These can be directly shared to social media, exported to upload on your own website, or created to live on within your archive itself.
Beyond Archival Material
While your school or university archive is often associated with preserving historical materials, this new video feature is just as effective for capturing present-day events. Schools can create videos that showcase everything from sports highlights and theatre performances to tours and prize giving events. The flexibility of the tool extends beyond archives, making it ideal for creating marketing materials or promoting other school initiatives.
Need a quick promotional video for your next open day? Or perhaps you want to share highlights from a recent alumni gathering on social media? This feature is a versatile addition to any school’s toolkit, empowering you to create engaging, on-brand videos that resonate with both current and prospective community members.
