Tips For Making Video Covers

The video cannot be over 90 seconds so make every second count.

Record the video with a resolution of 1080 pix.

Cropping – Keep subjects and text in the middle of the video because there will be cropping when you upload it to Facebook.

Introduce Your Art Business – The short video is an excellent way to share your elevator speech with new visitors and allow them to see the person behind the art they admire.

Keep the speech short and explain what can expect from liking your art business page.

How To Add Cover Video To A Facebook Page

After you have created your video, download it to your PC.

Login to your Facebook Page from your PC. As of now, you will not be able to upload a Facebook video cover from a mobile device. I am sure Facebook will eventually allow you to upload and edit cover videos via mobile devices until then you will have to log in to Facebook from your PC.
