5 Simple Video Editor Apps That Will Make Your Content Shine

Simply put, video is the alpha and omega when it comes to content marketing. Video content is on top, becoming more and more popular as consumers lean away from overt marketing and towards native advertising and influencer marketing. According to the Content Marketing Institute, video content will account for 55 percent of all Internet traffic this year, increasing 18-fold.

The future is clear: in order to stay relevant in today's marketing landscape, businesses need to be able to create their own sleek, beautiful videos to capture the attention of a largely mobile audience. But many businesses are posting shaky, unedited video, and don't know how to create interesting content that looks professional and interesting.
