We’ve recently seen Facebook making moves towards video with their ‘Watch’ platform as well as their brand new feature to turn any image into a video to increase engagement.
Then… The Video AutoPlay-Apocalypse Hit Everyone
With the recent disabling of auto-play on videos inside all major browsers, video views have literally halved overnight for most brands and businesses.
Chrome, Safari, FireFox… They all followed the trend.
Video’s don’t auto-play anymore (…and you can get penalized if you use script workarounds).
We’ve seen cinemagraphs, GIFs and live photos explode in popularity over the past year or two.
Why?
Simply because images weren’t getting the job done with capturing attention in Facebook ads and banners on websites.
Well, now we’re in the same boat with videos.
We need to CAPTURE attention to get views, because auto-play doesn’t work anymore.
We spend so much time and money investing into videos for our marketing our SaaS businesses, coaching programs, online courses and physical products…
We need to adapt to make sure we get people to click play, and convert to customers.
We're Here to Help You Adapt...
Capture Attention. Click Play. Increase Views.
We took the exact same concept that every media buyer uses for advertising (replacing images with engaging, eye-catching moving images/GIFs/videos), and ran a test.
We boosted our video play count by 30%+.
That’s when we knew we had to build this out for the public.
Animate your video preview for click-through boosts of over 33%!
Without logging into any video platform (...simply paste in your video link)
Without editing complex thumbnails on YouTube (…no design skills necessary)
Without replacing or editing anything in your video platform or builder (skip the video editing time and investment)
Without affecting anything in your main video (your marketing videos still SELL)
Over the last few months you've seen everyone putting these over their videos
Or even worse just these defaults embed thumbnails that
look like images (...not even videos)
Using a still thumbnail image doesnt cut it.
The fact is, up until now it simply hasn't been possible to create the 'click to play' call-to-actions up without hiring a developer to custom code one for each and every video.
That racks up expensive designer and development bills, not to mention time and troubleshooting when something goes wrong.
Imagine something that took all this off your hands, and handled it for you?

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between normal video and a playboost video?
We don’t actually change anything in your video. We simply apply the same concept used in traditional media buying to increase CTR (click-through rates) of your videos. Auto-play doesn’t work anymore due to the latest browser updates, so view counts are down for everyone. We counter this by creating engaging, animated thumbnails to increase views for your brand. More views = higher probability of converting prospects into leads and sales.
