Too many people avoid creating videos because it takes them hours to make a two-minute clip. They overthink, redo takes endlessly, and spend way too much time editing—only to feel frustrated and burnt out. But it doesn’t have to be that way!
In this solo episode, I share a simple five-step process to help you record, edit, and post videos faster—without the stress. If you've ever spent two hours recording a two-minute video, this episode is for you! These steps will save you time and make video creation feel effortless.
Some of the things I highlighted
🔹 Plan before you record – Take three minutes to define your purpose and jot down key points or a short script to stay focused.
🔹 Record in short clips – Instead of aiming for a perfect one-take, record in small sections to make editing easier.
🔹 Edit quickly – Keep it simple by trimming mistakes and dead spaces. Use captions to improve accessibility and engagement.
🔹 Add captions and music – Since most people scroll with the sound off, captions are essential. Stick to platform-approved music to avoid licensing issues.
🔹 Post without overthinking – Avoid getting stuck in endless tweaking. Nobody expects perfection—what matters is your message!
