@ozgrozer good point! We've already formed a task for that. +1 on our backlog.
Hi all! Have you tried uploading a longer or landscape format video to IG or Snap stories? Then you feel our pain. We got tired of videos being cut off and cropped awkwardly, so we created a super simple tool to fit or crop your videos to the exact right dimensions.
Plus, you can send your newly edited video to Facebook Ads manager to run official ads with just one click. We build this tool for our personal use, but want to share it with the community. So it's free: no watermarks, no trials, just free!
Just tested out your new tool @dmitriy_dubovik and have a few suggestions - some are probably on your development plan:
- the option to move the position of the video did not seem to work for me using the arrows - I was using FF as my browser so if you work best in Chrome perhaps put a notice to that effect
- allow download to desktop and Dropbox
- this could be used for Stories too and if you keep it as free and un-waternarked could get you a lot more visibility as a helpful desktop tool - if that is the case then allow multiple slices of the video
- custom hex value for colours for the background
- upload an image as a background
- the ability to add animated gifs as overlays.
I know you are working on text and captions which will be great from one of your comments below.
Looking forward to seeing how you develop the tool.
@krishnade hey Krishna - thank you so much for the valuable feedback! Noted and added to our back log.
Just played around with this... I'm a video content creator for youtube... I will typically take a video that I make for youtube and create a teaser video for IG.
A few things I'm loving about what you've done.
1. I can easily take a teaser clip i've made (typically landscape), and add a background color or the Blur effect.. which is awesome!
2. Its pretty easy to trim the video length
A few things I'd love to see:
1. If my clip is over 15 seconds etc... have the ability to auto split it into multiple stories
2. Export option (would be fine if I export that it had a overlay created in Insense
3. Drag positioning of the clip vs the position function you have now.
FYI was not able to connect to facebook authorization on chrome/macbookpro - popup window just hung and never loaded.
Great little tool.
@unclejessy4real thank you, Clayton. Auto split and export are already on the list for the v2.0. Position dragging is a new one for us. Thanks for the insight! Please feel free to check out our core product - content creation and amplification platform for brands and creators like yourself: https://insense.pro/
Insense is growing well beyond our initial launch. Since we started in 2016, our network of influential creators and customers grew exponentially reaching 35K+ members worldwide. We are proud to have such companies as LÓreal, P&G, Nestle and other among our clients. This year we are bringing a data-driven approach to the traditional $90B industry.
This is why we are running an open investment campaign for Insense. Instead of relying entirely on traditional Silicon Valley investors, we're opening up the investment opportunity for Product Hungers like yourself interested in owning a stake in our growing business with as little as $100.

Looks great - will try it!
Pros:Looks simple to use and I was just looking for such a service! Nice one!
Cons:What are the competitors in the space?
Sweet! Really simple and easy to use. I just didn't get the last part with integration with Facebook and Snapchat ads. What's that?
@victoria_bykanova Good point. This is the feature that Insense current clients love the most. Since you've been rendering your video to fit the Instagram/Snapchat dimensions you can save your time and send it to your Ads manager with a push of a button. Simply create a new ad and add your video from the library - it's already there!
I would recommend this tool to my clients.
Pros:Simple, easy-to-use, direct import to facebook ads manager
Cons:More templates
There is a huge array of free video software in market. The basic feature of video editing software should include trimming, editing, mixing, adding filters or special effects, compressing, etc. You can try https://www.imoviewindows.com : Video editor app which is completely free and has no duration limit. Additionally, this video editor app contains some unique and innovative features such as video reverse, video dubbing, zoom in/out, blurred background, video doodle, etc.
@mendorshikh great tagline for our landing page! Уasy peasy lemon squeezy - will keep it that way ;)
Hope to see templates, UI elements like chat overlays, eye-catching transition effects (e.g. Supa.ru execution), as well as an opportunity to sync two & more landscape videos in one vertical on the go!
Pros:As simple as it could be for instant (conceptual) value!
Cons:UX could be better on a mobile device )
@ostyre We are constantly working with creatives from our top video creators to define the patterns. It's not easy but we already have a set of guidelines that help the video ad to perform better. Personal experience and numbers will lie in the core of what type of templates we will add.
Hey guys! Awesome product. Some features to add:
- text, there is no way I can add text to my video right now
- explanation on how to find the final video in Facebook ads manager once I've sent it there
Overall, well done! Like your purple color!
@vladislav_pugachev Thank you, Vlad. We are already working on the features you've mentioned + a set of proven-working templates that will be available for any user.
Maybe expand outside of stories, to include post formats as well so it's all in one.
Pros:Simple but genius! Now the media team can get their formatting done without needing to come to the production team every time.
Cons:Other than more templates, nothing else seems missing.
Good tool for marketers who are lazy to download, upload from laptops to mobile devices
Pros:Neat UX/UI straight to the point value prop and solution
Cons:Cons: templates and other editing tools show potential results in paid
All in all - cool feature
Pros:Nice tool! Right what small ecom business needs.
Cons:No bulk edit available yet
Excellent tool for those who often post video
Pros:Fast, easy and intuitive
Cons:Need more templates
