According to Google’s recent research, 79% of people say video streaming platforms make them happy.

This fact is definitely inspiring for marketers who’re planning to leverage videos in their marketing campaigns.

But how to impress the audience when you only have a few seconds to grab their attention and convey your key concept? The answer is: create video collages.

One can easily turn regular videos into exciting and viral-ready digital assets with some fantastic video collages. Plus, they make a great tool to convey your message if a single video doesn’t serve the purpose.

One Frame + More Than One Video = Awesomeness Overloaded

Luckily, making video collages is a simple task when you’re armed with the right tools. With a variety of templates, some of these tools work brilliantly to help you merge videos and create, what we call, a stunning collage.

While we can’t wave a magic wand to make that perfect video collage you need, we can do the next best thing: tell you how to make video collages in a few simple steps using Wave.video and the templates that come along.

But before we get knee-deep into that, let’s discuss what is a video collage actually and understand what all can it do for you.

What is a video collage?

Okay, I admit it’s a no-brainer, but let’s talk about it for clarity’s sake.

A video collage is a combination of videos and/or photos with background music. You can create it using pre-defined templates or layouts, that we’ll share in this article. And making a video collage is a cinch with Wave.video.

So, what all can it do for you? Let’s find out.

5 reasons to make video collages

Video collages are more than just a fantastic display of video art. And they deserve one of the top spots in your video marketing strategy as they help in the following ways and more:

• Convey more visual information in one frame

If you’re even a little into the world of photo editing, the chances are that you may have used a photo collage maker to show multiple pictures on canvas.

But most of the design tools on the market don’t support videos. So, we thought, why not create one for our customers? I mean, a video collage maker is your best companion when you want to convey more visual information in a single frame. Because sometimes, you need more than just a video to tell the whole story.

• Add to the visual interest

When it comes to improving the visual interest, two elements are usually better than one. It is why a video collage is a great way to show your content when there’s a lot to share, and you want to spike the interest of the viewers without making them feel bored.

• Get your creative juices flowing

We’re all busy. And we don’t always have enough time to display our creative skills when it comes to video making and editing. This is where a good video collage maker like Wave.video helps you. It lets you place your videos, images, and GIFs in templates.

With a superb choice of graphics, stickers, and music options, it also gives you the freedom you need to display your creativity. You save time. And the results are incredible.

By juxtaposing video clips, images and GIFs.
