5 Important Items to Consider in Editing to Make Your Video Stand Out!
With the development of technology, there have been many changes in our lives. One of the most important of these is undoubtedly the establishment of social media platforms. Nowadays, there is almost no individual who is not a social media user. Naturally, major changes have been made in some sectors. Of course, the first thing that comes to mind is marketing. Nowadays, people research online and watch videos of what they are buying before buying something. Marketing has moved almost entirely to the digital dimension. Accordingly, video production has become one of the backbones of digital marketing.
As the Monomotion Studio family, we have accomplished many successful projects at every stage of video production. Video edits are also an important part of video production. We have done more successful editing work than we can count so far. We wanted to give you 5 important tips about video editing with the experiences we gained from these jobs.
1. Design of in-video text Depending on the type of your video, you may need to use text in the opening/closing, title or video. Depending on your preference and video type, you may want the style of this text to be unobtrusive, clean and simple, or you can make it eye-catching with effects and colors. A certain text style and animation style may dominate the entire video and you can make it uniform, or you can combine styles with different dynamics. Remember, at this point, it is very important what your video needs, sometimes using such effects more than necessary can cause distraction and the video to remain in the background.
2. Music Selection The music chosen is as important as the visuals used in the video. The right music should be chosen to increase the impressiveness of a story and emphasize the scenes. While you can hide scene transitions behind rhythms, you can also provide emotional ups and downs with rhythms. Volume volume is an element that must be taken into consideration in order not to disrupt the watchability of the video. You can better monitor the harmony of sounds with each other by using headphones during editing. Another most important factor is to check the copyright of the music you will use according to the platforms you will share it on. Many platforms are very sensitive about copyright.
3. Editing the Color Palette Another important design element that should be adjusted according to the type, style, emotions or atmosphere of your video or scene is the color effects of the video. There are many shortcuts in the programs for this, and you can also create your own color effects with detailed arrangements. You don't have to use a single color palette throughout the video. You can also choose different color palettes according to the emotions reflected by the videos or the scenes you want to emphasize.
4. Video Ups and Downs The monotony of the tempo in the video causes the watchability of the video to decrease for the viewer after a certain point. Using contrasting elements such as dynamic or slow, emotional or action-packed, with a lot of dialogue or little dialogue, using loud music or quiet music will ensure the ups and downs in the video. If you do not want to go through these ups and downs and want to act on a single dynamic, you need to achieve this harmony very well.
5. Video Lengths by Platform In recent years, the rapid change of social media and the emergence of new platforms have caused the content produced to have to constantly follow the current developments. Especially in recent years, as people's attention and focus times have decreased, videos that are faster and easier to digest have become ideal. Until a certain period, it was possible to focus on longer periods of time because people watched videos at their desks via computers. However, with the developing and changing world, such contents are now being watched on mobile devices and watching videos has no longer been the place or time. Therefore, videos began to be produced so that people could watch the content they wanted at any time, in a practical way, without spending too much time. Although platforms had different time limits from each other until a while ago, today this situation has changed in line with people's expectations and almost every platform now prefers time limits close to each other. Thus, it becomes easier for people to focus in a shorter time and the number of views is increased.
