The democratisation of video creation has created an unprecedented opportunity for hardware tools companies. However, converting casual creators and beginners into high spenders is difficult given the financial and educational barriers creators must overcome. Hardware companies are also facing competition from AI tools that extoll the benefits of bypassing hardware workflows with AI video generators that can help creators reach audiences faster.
Hardware companies will only maximise this opportunity if they respect that video creator needs have trifurcated between videographers and professionals, social video creators, and marketing creators. Each group has a nuanced set of behaviours, preferences, and aspirations that need to be understood and catered to by hardware companies. While hardware bundles can help alleviate key pain points for these groups, they must also be supported by a marketing push that underscores the value they bring as AI tools seek to disintermediate hardware workflows.
This report analyses creator hardware usage and behaviours of video creators. It focuses on their roles, hardware tools used, income and spending behaviours, creative motivation, most important workflow moments, tools needed, and most common pain points. The key segments in this report are video creators by sophistication, videographers, social video creators, and marketing content creators.
