How to create perfect Facebook cover videos instantly?

Facebook is our favorite when it comes to building social connectivity and bonding with people – be it sharing daily events or tagging friends in memes. There are about 2.01 billion active facebook users worldwide, which makes it a lucrative platform for commercial goals. And since everyone (including marketers) are on Facebook, it is releasing countless features to facilitate different areas of marketing. And the recent release of Cover Videos has come up as one of the best feature targeted for user engagement.

Opportunities with FB Cover

Your facebook business page cover can now feature a dynamic video instead of a regular boring banner. Since the uploaded video will autoplay in a loop, it is a great way to catch the attention of your desired audience. How cool is that?
Here’s what facebook has to say about this exquisite feature:

“By making cover video available, we want to help you create more engaging interactions and drive more rich experience for your audience by letting you spotlight your creative content in one of the most prominent spaces: your Page cover” – Facebook.

Hassles in creating videos for Facebook Cover

Facebook cover video is the custard to your pie. However, you should be mindful of the complexities that come along with using a regular video for your Facebook page cover. Here are some instances:

• The video resolution needs to be an exact 820 X 312 px
• The video length should be at least 20 and at most of 90 seconds
• The preferred video quality is 1080p
• The content must be present on the center of the frame so that you have least probability of losing it if needed to be cropped.

“With great opportunities comes great responsibilities”. This saying fits right when it comes to using a video to your FB cover slot. It requires you to be mindful of the complexities.
