Who Uses MakeThisVid for This

Weekly or monthly changelog posts

Add a video visual to every changelog post or What's New page update to make the release feel substantial and worth reading.

Social media release announcements

Post a short video clip on LinkedIn and X when a major update ships — drives more engagement than a text-only release note post.

In-app update banners

Use a video clip as the visual in an in-app What's New modal or update notification banner. More engaging than a static icon.
