The app that I am reviewing is called Marketing Video Marker. It was easy to found it on Google Apps. I just search for education apps for K-12. The information of the creator is Digital Marketing Tools and the email to get in touch with the creator is [email protected]. Marketing Video Maker is an app that helps you to create advertising videos for your business, clients and so on. Marker Video Marker has a free version and a premium version. For the free version, the app offers free pre-made templates where they are editable. It also contains categories for an easy way to create tutorial videos, accounting and finance, beauty and hair salon, photography, sports academy, jewelry, books and magazines, travel and so on. However, if you want to create a professional video, or download pro music and pro templates there is a monthly plan fee and the prices vary depending on the months you decide to try it. The premium plan comes from as low as 12 months for 2USD, 6 months for 3USD, or 1 month for 4 USD. This monthly plan includes access to all premium contents such as, remove Water Mark, remove ads, unlimited graphics, unlimited music, and make and edit gifs. Plus, they state that the massive library it is periodically updated.Because I like to explore and learn with experimentation, I opened the app and start to play around with it. This method helps me to understand and figure out my own learning abilities. I only found a tutorial, but I did not use it until I finish to mess with the app. As soon as you open the app, the first screen is divided by ads on top, there are the button with different colors that redirect you to premade templates. On the bottom of the screen, you can find different buttons with specific purposes that will help you to create your original videos, such as templates, create, category, tools, and my videos. The first button is called templates will direct you to pre-made and editable templates. The second button called Create will redirect you to a new screen where you can have options for the social media you are trying to target. For example, the most common social media compatible with this app and pre-made template are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn, and a Generic template set up. In this option, you can choose formats and content arrangement, such as for the generic template the ranges are, vertical 4:5, vertical 2:3, square 1:1, portrait 9:16 and horizontal 16:9. Then, the category button redirects you to already premade templates that are editable too. The tools button contains different options such as converted video, gif, video compress, trim, speed, video to mp3, and change music. On my videos link, it will contain all the videos you have created with the app.The app is super easy to use and it contains a tutorial video, so you can learn and understand how to take advantage of this app. The tutorial video show you to edit, add images, use the pre-made templates, and so on. I only open the tutorial to check how what it.I foresee using this app in my classroom as a tool for my students to create original videos or show their photos from their art projects in a beautifully visual way. This app will fit perfect in either middle school or high school projects. The only potential problem that I see with it is the incorrect content students decide to create. Such as mocking about other students. However, I will check that all content is respectful to other students. The biggest advantage of using this app is that the videos will be creatives, original, and they will be globally shared on popular social media platforms such as Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, and so on. Also, my students will learn pre-production of video marketing, edit and add audio, and learn to share their artwork globally.
