Reason #1: Motionless Backgrounds Put People to Sleep

Have you ever been in a meeting where someone was giving a presentation and they had a DULL background. We're talking just a solid color with some PowerPoint slides! The chances are good that this presentation put you right to sleep.

Now imagine this same presentation if the person had used some animated backgrounds that really conveyed the importance or interest in their project. Adding these backgrounds to your videos is a surefire way to keep people entertained.

Reason #2: Video is Becoming More Prevalent Online

Gone are the days where you can just put up some simple text and expect it to grab your visitor's attention. Everyone is going with video these days. That means there is more competition to make your videos look great. Having motion backgrounds will really help you to stand out far above your competition.

Reason #3: Your Videos Will Look More Professional

Whether you're presenting an idea or trying to sell something, you always need to make sure that your work looks as professional as possible. This can be difficult if you aren't used to making videos. The good news is that using backgrounds with motion can instantly give you that professional look you are going for.

Reason #4: It's More Fun While You Work

Studies show that the more interesting your work is visually, the more likely you are to get excited about it and complete it. If you're working on a boring-looking video, you'll probably be bored out of your mind as well! It's a lot more fun to work with animated backgrounds that are related to the video you are creating. It will not only be more appealing to those who watch it, it will be more interesting for you to make as well.

Reason #5: It's Very Cost Effective

When motion backgrounds first came into play there weren't that many people doing them. The simple reason is because few people knew how. Luckily, there are many people who are creating these awesome video backgrounds these days.

Some of them put their work up for sale royalty-free. That means you can get whatever kind of background you need for a professional, interesting video for very low cost. It sure beats hiring someone to create a custom one for you!

Reason #6: Your Conversion Rate Will Skyrocket

If you're selling a product through video you'll be glad to know that your conversion rate will likely go up substantially. One reason is because the motion will capture the attention of your audience.

Another reason is because they will be captivated enough to watch the whole thing. That means they will hear everything you have to say, and will likely respond more favorably.
