You pour hours and hours into creating videos, but you see no results and have no idea what the hell is going on. It can be multiple things: 😢 You’re awkward on camera. 😅 You were all over the place with what you were saying. 😖 Your video and audio quality is so bad nobody can see or hear you. A lot of options! But let’s focus on one thing today. Knowing what to say. There are 3 elements I like to include in my scripts: 😍 Hook 😎 Main message 🤩 CTA (Call to Action) Check the video if you want to learn more about the 3 important elements every script needs.

Nobody will teach you this... 1. Cut on Motion: Edit on action to create seamless, dynamic transitions that keep viewers engaged. 2. Use J-Cuts and L-Cuts: Blend audio and visuals across cuts to create smooth transitions and maintain flow. 3. Break the 180-Degree Rule (Intentionally): Disrupt spatial orientation for dramatic or emotional effect. 4. Leverage Negative Space: Use empty areas in the frame to highlight subjects or convey emotion. 5. Manipulate Speed: Use slow motion, fast cuts, and speed ramps to enhance drama or excitement.

The project now has a name and a demo page 🥰🚀 Now it’s time to focus on creating the platform where people will have their videos. In the demo page you can’t define anything but the text. In the upcoming version you are gonna be able to create the videos with some more variables to be defined, such as the background image or video, the audio, text color and size, etc. If you wanna try, check the link in the comments.

You don’t need to download transitions, just do this 💜 A spinning transition! 🔥 The biggest problem with this transition is you look like a bit of an idiot, especially when someone has paid for you to film their event and you're spinning around in a circle… If that’s not a problem for you though, this is an awesome addition to your library. This is the process: 1️⃣ Film spinning shots on location. If you’re in multiple locations, film one per location. 2️⃣ When you’re moving between shots or locations, add the shots in between your clips. 3️⃣ OPTIONAL: If you’re spinning right, at the end of the first clip, move the camera’s perspective in the last few frames to the right, then add the transition, then at the beginning of the next clip start slightly to the left. This makes it look like you’re revving up before slowing down again. Will you start using this transition in your videos?

Cheat code for stopping the scroll: Double Hooks It's why all of our hook rates are above 30% for our clients. Here's why this one works so well: 1. Initial Scroll Stop + Curiosity The first hook uses motion and humor that plays with expectations. The word "knock you out" is not only said in the voiceover but seen as the creator throws herself into the bed. Remember: Using motion + an unexpected visual always stops the scroll. To keep this attention, we also leave the viewer wanting to learn more about the pillow (without actually showing it in the next couple of seconds) 2. Frustration + Show & Tell The second hook immediately relates to a universal frustration. The visuals and the voiceover work together to show this problem and set up the ad creative to present the solution later on while driving action.

Does anyone else get distracted with seeing this clipped near someone’s neck in a video? Microphone placement is a key part of any video production. Here are a few of my rules for capturing audio: 1) Never let the mic distract from the story being told. 2)Know the strengths and weaknesses of your equipment. eg.) Different mics have different directional patterns. Proper placement in the wrong direction can affect frequencies. 3) Always record audio with at least 2 sources. (In case anything happens to one source). 4) Do a sound test before each take and make sure you’re comfortable with what you’re hearing. 5) Make sure to press record and watch the timer start before assuming it’s recording.

Playing around with Runway's gen3 video2video tool is a lot of fun. To simplify splitting the source video into 10s chunks, combining the transformed chunks into the final output, and re-adding the original audio, I wrote a simple CLI tool: https://lnkd.in/ggcdaEAC
