Video editing

Short, punchy animated videos to present your app, your product or your business. For social media, your website or the app stores, in the right format and in several languages.

What we do

Devolim makes short motion design videos for app makers and businesses: app presentations for the stores, vertical ads for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts, videos for the top of a website, demos and company presentations. Every video starts from a one-sentence message, a script and a storyboard approved with you, then it is animated in code with Remotion. That way, the same project comes out in vertical, square or landscape format and in several languages, without redoing the animation. Key messages are written on screen, so the video makes sense without sound.

  • App presentation videos

    Fifteen to thirty seconds to show what your app does and make people want to install it. We have made one for each of ours.

  • Social media ads

    Vertical videos designed for TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

  • Videos for your website

    An animated loop that explains your offer at the top of a page.

  • Several languages

    One video adapted into English, Spanish, Italian, German, Dutch or Korean.

  • Script and storyboard

    We write the story and draw the shots before animating anything.

  • Clear without sound

    Key messages are written on screen: many videos are watched on mute.

Which video for which need?

Six kinds of video, six different uses. Here is what each one brings, where people see it and how long it lasts, with the technical terms for those who want to dig deeper.

App presentation

15 to 30 s

What your app does, shown in a few seconds with its colours, its screens and its mascot if it has one. People understand what it is for before they install it.

We have made one for each of our ten apps.

  • Motion design

The right formats

A video is made for the place where it will be watched. The same project can come out in all three formats without starting over: the layout adapts to the frame.

9:16Vertical1080 × 1920TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, stories
1:1Square1080 × 1080Instagram feed, Facebook, LinkedIn
16:9Landscape1920 × 1080YouTube, your website, a presentation, a trade show

One animation, three frames: the text, the character and the subtitles reposition themselves for each format.

  • 9:16VerticalFull screen on a phone, the format that takes up the most space.
  • 1:1SquareReadable everywhere, whether the screen is held upright or sideways.
  • 16:9LandscapeThe format of computers and televisions.

And how long?

The shorter the video, the more every second counts. The bar on each card fills up in real time.

  • 6sOne line, one imageJust long enough for a hook and a name to remember. Ideal in a story, or right before another video.Bumper, stories
  • 15sOne idea, one actionEnough to show a feature and say what to do next. It is the length of our app presentation videos.Reels, Shorts, page header
  • 30sOne problem, one solutionThe hook, the problem, your answer, then the call to action. The format of our social media ads.TikTok, Reels, ads
  • 60sA full presentationTo introduce a company or explain a feature in detail, to someone who already wants to know more.Website, YouTube, trade show

And the exact size of a screen. For a website or an app, we also fit the video to a specific screen. Our presentation videos match the iPhone screen, 1080 × 2416 pixels, with nothing important under the Dynamic Island or in the rounded corners.

How a video gets made

Our videos are written in code, timed to the exact frame. When a second language or another format is needed, everything is already set up to adapt.

Another format or another language? We change the settings and the text. The animation itself stays the same.

  1. 01

    The message

    Who the video speaks to, what it needs to get across, and what the viewer should do after watching. If it does not fit in one sentence, you need two videos.

    You receiveThe message in one sentence, and the target audience

    • Brief
    • Audience
    • Goal
  2. 02

    The script

    The words for the voice and the screens, second by second, starting with the hook. For a campaign, we write several scenarios and you keep the best ones.

    You receiveThe timed script, to read and approve

    • Hook
    • Timed script
    • Voice and screens
  3. 03

    The storyboard

    The main shots, drawn out: what you see, when, and with what text. This is where we make corrections, before animating, while it is still easy.

    You receiveThe key frames of every shot

    The animation

    The motion design is written in code with Remotion. Every movement is set to the exact frame, and the same project then produces every format and every language.

    • Post copy

Checked frame by frame before it goes out. Every video goes through a review checklist: the hook, the pace, the finish, consistency with your brand, voice timing, sound and the ending. Until it meets our standard, we keep working on it.

What makes a video work

Six rules we apply to every video, ours and yours alike. They hold for a fifteen-second ad as much as for a one-minute presentation.

  • Hook in two seconds

    On a scrolling feed, people decide in an instant whether to stay. The first image and the first line say straight away who and what it is about.

    • Hook
    • 0 to 2 s
  • Clear without sound

    Many videos are watched on mute, on public transport or at the office. The key lines appear on screen, at the moment they are spoken.

    • Burned-in subtitles
    • Muted viewing
  • One idea per video

    One video, one message. If you have three things to say, that makes three videos, and each will be clearer than all three rolled into one.

    • One message
    • Video series
  • Pace

    One shot that drags, and the thumb moves on. Cuts, text and animations land on the words of the voiceover and on the music.

    • Cuts
    • Frame-accurate timing
  • A clear call to action

    At the end, a single thing to do, shown and spoken: search for the app, visit the website, call. The name to type appears on screen.

    • CTA
    • End card
  • In your brand colours

    Your colours, your fonts, your tone, and your mascot if you have one. People recognise your brand before they even see the logo.

    • Brand guidelines
    • Fonts
    • Mascot

Frequently asked questions

Another question? Write to us or call +33 6 52 45 78 89.

How long is a video?

Usually between 15 and 30 seconds for social media, and up to a minute for a company presentation. We fit the length to the platform and the message.

Does the video make sense without sound?

Yes, that is one of our rules: key messages are written on screen and subtitles appear as the lines are spoken, because many videos are watched on mute.

Do you do the voiceover?

Yes, with natural-sounding synthetic voices chosen for each language. A video can also do without a voice and rely on its on-screen text.

What do we need to provide?

Your logo, your colours and your fonts if you have them, and the message you want to get across. For an app or software, access so we can show its real screens. The script, animation, voice and music are on us.

Can you make the same video in several languages?

Yes. Our videos are built in code: for another language, we change the text and the voice without redoing the animation. We have already done it in English, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch and Korean.

Do you use filmed footage?

Our videos are motion design: shapes, text, illustrations and animated characters. We can include your photos, your visuals or the screens of your app.

Is the music royalty-free?

Yes. The music and sound effects we use are royalty-free, and the video can also be delivered without music.

Do I need an app to order a video?

No. We also make videos to present a product, a service or a company.
