In November of last year, Instagram announced that it was making it easier for creators to share Reels from their favorite apps. Supported apps began seeing a new option in the share menu that allowed creators to post their creations directly to Instagram. One of these applications, Zoomeranghas announced the launch of the «largest template market» for short videos.
One of the main reasons why many people make more short videos is how little effort they require. For example, Instagram Reels offers users a series of templates that they can use by simply replacing featured clips with their own photos and videos.
Zoomerang will offer 10 million such video templates, designed for both individuals and small and medium-sized businesses, with endless possibilities to create videos for TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts and other platforms.
However, that number is likely to grow thanks to a «monetization feature” special. The idea is to reward creators for submitting new templates and other elements. These templates will make work easier for individuals and business owners.
Creators can make their templates or assets available for free, or “block them«, and earn money when users unlock/purchase them with their coins.
«Through monetization, we address two main concerns. First, we offer our creators a powerful way to promote themselves and their resources to the Zoomerang user base and make money while doing it. Secondly, given the high demand for short-form videos, we have created a bridge between companies and creators that facilitates the content creation process,” said Zoomerang CEO and co-founder Davit Grigoryan.
«Available in both Android like in iOSZoomerang offers unlimited video production resources (video/photo assets, music fx, fonts, video effects, filters, etc.) that allow its users to take video edits to a whole new level, show creativity, inspire to others, increase video engagement and make them viral,” reads the press release about the feature’s launch.
