YouTube released a free tool Tuesday that will lessen the burden on small and midsized businesses looking to incorporate high-quality video into their marketing strategies.

Video Builder enables SMBs to animate static images such as photos, text and logos with music from YouTube’s library.

Businesses can select a layout depending on their messages and goals, and they can also customize colors and fonts, eventually generating short YouTube videos (six seconds or 15 seconds).

YouTube wrote in a blog post, “Because businesses of all sizes are strapped for time and resources and in-person video shoots are no longer practical in many countries, we are accelerating the next stage of Video Builder availability.
