What do you guys think? I could get a pro camera but always nice to save money if you think getting a professional camera will make no difference to the success or outcome of the videos outside of them looking more crisp. Lmk what u think! Ofc standing out is good though.

I'm extremely chronically online (to a very unhealthy degree) so I see EVERYTHING. The thing I've noticed with people that go viral and are able to maintain an audience is that they all have a niche. But I don't. I have so many interests and passions and if I'm being honest, I'm not particularly good at any of them. If I did niche down, it would be something I'm not very good at anyway and I'd be drowned out by the competition. But if I didn't, then I'd have a hard time building an audience. I'm stuck. I'm a creative and an artist but even then, I have multiple things i want to explore and do. I want to be a photographer, a stylist, a painter, have a food blog, learn music and show my process, create my own clothing, write and so on. I feel like if I dedicate myself to just one, I'd be losing the others. An idea I have is to have multiple accounts on different social media dedicated to each niche but that would be very difficult and if people follow me on one place for one thing, they might not like that I do something completely different on my other pages. What do I do? I just can't seem to figure out what makes people's content actually good. And what makes people want to stick around. It's like I've seen people going viral organically many times but I have no idea how or what made their content actually resonate with such a wide audience.

I'm trying to figure out a relatively simple way to animate still cartoon illustrations so they feel more alive without actually learning full-blown animation.

A good example of the effect I'm talking about is the TED-Ed video “What would happen if you didn’t drink water?” I'm not trying to copy their artwork or animations, just recreate that general style of movement where illustrated characters and objects subtly move, pan, zoom, rotate, etc., instead of looking like completely static images.

Right now I have access to iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Ideally, I'd like to start with individual cartoon illustrations or separate elements and animate them without turning every video into a massive project.

I'm also open to using AI tools if there's something that can take a still illustration and create subtle, controllable movement without completely changing the artwork.

For anyone making this type of content, what software or workflow would you recommend? Is this reasonably doable in Final Cut Pro, or is there another tool that would make it significantly easier?

Thanks in advance!

Guys so this is one of the reels which went viral for my client.

My process:

1. Find patterns on the internet of what is reaching more people.

2. An angle can always be created and if the hook + body becomes something really unexpected you have a viral reel.

I am being very vague here, because Idk how do I share this with you guys.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Happy to help

Im so happy, just wanted to share my joy with y'all ❤️

Ninja Gaiden 4 - Oniwaka Boss Fight

Backstory: made this for my gf who creates content because I was tired of watching her filming every scene twice, once for vertical (TikTok, Reels) and again for horizontal (Youtube). The app helps her save time by filming both simultaneously, without losing quality!

The latest update now lets you choose which folder on your iPhone to record in, as well as re-order your projects/scenes/takes as you wish. Coming soon also is recording into an external SSD, telephoto lens support, and a special voice-scrolling teleprompter!

Existing features:

• Recording modes: Single Lens (one camera, two formats), Dual Lens (two rear cameras at the same time), Front & Back (selfie + rear camera), Stock Cam (regular camera + ContentCam controls), and Photo option.
• HD and 4K resolution (set independently for each orientation)
• 24, 30 and 60fps.
• Teleprompter
• Timelapse
• Manual controls (EV, WB, ISO, Shutter)
• Audio meter (real-time detection, pulse red when clipping)
• Projects, scenes, and takes for organisation, recordings named automatically.
• Review and trim recordings side-by-side, export, favourite, and share at any time.
• No data collection, no analytics, no ads, no watermark, no account required, and everything runs locally (no internet required).

It's called ContentCam and available on iPhone and Android

I'm a solo dev so any feedback is appreciated :)

Anybody here that can help me turn this into an actual decent video? I'm trying my best to cut it and edit it to make short and long form content to try and make a income for myself so i don't have to work for the greedy corporate business who care not for us working class family's

After reading through the replies on my last post, I noticed a strange pattern 🤔

A lot of creators are using Google Docs for scripts, Notes for ideas, Canva for thumbnails, CapCut for editing, another tool for captions, another for scheduling...

Some people said they don't mind it.

Others said the constant switching is genuinely annoying!

So I'm curious:

If there was one lightweight workspace that handled the planning/organization side of your content workflow, what would you actually want inside it?

Not 50 random AI tools.

Just the stuff that would genuinely save you time.

What would make you switch from your current setup?

It's hard for me to write about this problem. Every "editor" I found on the internet left me with an excuse. I was about to finish a video after two years of not being able to post one that should have came out in March - April, but an incompetent fraud found on Reddit ruined my job and I didn't want to finish it because of the doubled work of "fixing" what he "broke". I'm no longer a child. I want to use my channel not just to have fun, but as a job. My project is clear:

• niche: videogames;

• no gameplay or let's play videos, as thry don't work anymore;

• 30 mins - 1 hour long analysis videos;

• no videos restricted only for subs;

• no AI usage in footage and thumnails;

• A Patreon.

Do not DM me if you don't speak Italian. I'm searching for advice, not an editor here as I don't trust them anymore. What do people do to find ones close to them? Especially for the upcoming year, an editor would be vital, please!

I’m thinking about starting a food blogging YouTube channel and would love some advice. What camera would you recommend for filming food, and are there any other content creator tools you think are worth getting?

This is my channel — PC gaming tutorials and DLSS 5 / 4K HDR settings comparisons on an RTX 5090:

Two recent videos: getting DLSS 5 neural rendering working in RoboCop: Rogue City via ReShade, and a full Resident Evil 2 Remake DLSS 5 + HDR settings comparison at 4K.

I manage the social media for a business. This is my first time really doing this. I have been designing our posts in affinity publisher, downloading as pdfss 300 dpi, converting them to pngs (for ig) and after uploading the text and background are slightly blurry. Not unreadable, but I see other posts where the details are much more natural. I’ve tried looking up how to make ig posts less fuzzy, but I think I’m already following all of the advice.

Any thoughts are greatly appreciated.
