I opened the Pinterest app on my phone (Android) today and was met with a message that we can now create videos of a Board to share. I tried to follow the prompts but didn't understand what I was looking at and when I clicked Done, I couldn't find any way to view whatever the result was so didn't want to try sharing it to any of the default options like Facebook or I think Insta or specific Pinterest followers were on there too as options.
Once I got home and fired-up the computer to access Pinterest from my web browser, I couldn't find any option for this new feature so maybe it's only a feature from the mobile app?
Has anyone else seen this/done this, and have an example of the output video and where/how they shared it?
@ColsCreations @CreativeLeahG Yes and no. Nothing to see for me on the laptop either just a few minutes ago but then again trying it with my iPhone I got the same message as Col did and after I had picked a board Pinterest created a video for me. Zazzle doesn’t allow me to upload it here so I will upload it in a bit to my website for you to see. It’s super short but kinda need. I like it. 😀
Now what to do with it? 🤔
@ColsCreations @CreativeLeahG Here we go:
By Pinterest for San Francisco
It seems it's a mobile only feature I think.
Output by Pinterest as a MOV file.
PS: It's coincident but Pinterest picked Edna, the Goose to start this video and Edna was a goose in South San Francisco who had nested on our boat. She had laid four eggs of which three hatched. I took a million photos of our houseguests that year, smile.
Thanks for figuring it out and providing an example. 👍
I'm going to try again from my phone, but, I'm not sure where these would be useful? Are they supposed to be used as Pins on Pinterest? I understand using it to link to a board of related products, but if you're promoting/affiliating outside of Pinterest, what's the point of sending people first to a Pinterest board where they then have to click-through to the source instead of just linking direct to the source? Gott'a think on this some more. 🤔
