Ripl: Create simple videos from static images
Overview
Like Canva and Infogram, Ripl prioritises speed and ease with its social video maker. Instead of recording and editing footage, Ripl lets you create video content from images, text and simple animations. You can select a template and choose images from Ripl’s built-in library for the foundation of your clip, adding text, animations, transitions and other effects.
You can publish videos in 1080p HD and post directly to your social accounts or schedule posts ahead of time. Ripl also includes built-in social engagement tracking so you can monitor the performance of your posts across each network.
