Hello!

I’m a dentist and I run my own clinic.

I recently purchased an Osmo Pocket 4, and I’m planning to use it to record myself speaking directly to the camera inside my clinic, with the dental chair and a clean, professional clinic background.

I’ve tried recording with the Pocket inside the clinic, but I noticed that sometimes there is consistent flickering from the clinic lights, which could ruin the footage.

I was wondering what the best Osmo Pocket 4 settings would be for filming indoors in this type of environment.

Should I use a locked gimbal? D-Log? I don’t plan on doing any color grading - just simple cuts and subtitles. I’m mainly looking for the cleanest, most premium-looking result of me talking a dentistry/clinic environment.

I’m new to this, I did some research, but also I’d really appreciate guidance on the exact settings I should use for this kind of setup.

been facing this issue all day. is it just me?

I’m a YouTuber/Instagram creator making short, story-driven content, and I’m looking to hire a full-time editor.

A lot of my content involves me either speaking Arabic or engaging with Arabs. So native Arabic is a must (preferably, Levantine accent)

Must have experience, must be creative, think out of the box and able to find solutions and take action, and not merely a yes-man.

Theres plenty room to grow. I also work with other content creators and produce videos for them, so its not only for my own content

DM with your past work if interested!

TLDR: I grew 100k followers on IG creating short travel-story reels. It was hard to monetize and brand deals were a pain. Moved to YouTube. Even though I got monetized with Shorts almost immediately, I lost all motivation.

I’ve been creating short travel videos on Instagram for a while now.

Not the typical “here are 5 things to do in Paris” kind of travel content. More story-driven videos. Culture, history, language, random human moments, weird observations from places I’m traveling through.

Basically, content that required a lot of effort, and I enjoyed the whole process.

That worked pretty well on Instagram. I grew to around 100k followers, built a real community, managed to do some good things for personal causes, and overall the page was going great. For a while, I genuinely felt like I had found the thing I was supposed to be doing.

The problem was monetization.

Instagram gave me attention, but not really income. Brand deals were possible, but honestly they were exhausting. Negotiating, chasing people, trying to fit ads into short videos without killing the story, worrying that the second I tag a brand the video performs worse. It made the whole thing feel weird and it ruined my fun.

I looked for other ways to monetize. I created a course, sold a few digital products, tried different things, but most of it burned me out for little payoff.

Then I decided to build a small social media agency and use my understanding of Instagram/TikTok short-form content to help businesses.

That also grew. I landed a few clients, worked as the creative brain with an editor, and for a while it felt like the smart move.

But agency work also distracted me from my own content.

I felt like I was trying to carry two businesses with one brain. I kept bouncing between client work and my own page, and somehow ended up hurting both. I lost some clients, and I also stopped posting consistently enough on my own instagram.

At the same time, I was frustrated that millions of monthly views on Instagram were barely being rewarded. So I decided to switch my content focus to YouTube.

I hoped YouTube would value the content itself more than my ability to land brand deals, because honestly, the constant need to sell, negotiate, and package myself for sponsors was slowly killing my passion for creating.

YouTube felt like a step back, but also a fresh start.

Thankfully, it worked fast. I started reposting some of my old short-form videos, got views, and managed to get monetized pretty quickly through Shorts. On paper, it looked like the smart move.

But for some reason, the views now on YouTube don’t feel as rewarding as they did before.

It’s hard to explain. It all now just feels like throwing videos into a machine.

And currently, this is all messing with my head.

Because technically, I got what I wanted. I have a YouTube channel generating some income, and an Instagram page that gives me credibility and could still bring opportunities.

I also started with long form Youtube video, but I'm aware of the steep curve.

But now I no longer feel excited to create.

Part of me thinks I’m just burned out. My mind feels disconnected. Just a few months ago, I was creating full-force for multiple pages daily. Now I’ve lost momentum completely.

I don’t know if it’s the platform switching, the instability, the repeated burnouts, or the fact that I turned something I loved into a job before I had a stable system around it. It could also be impostor syndrome, or the fact that my IG is slowing down and in the back of my head I'm thinking that its going to waste.

Part of me is wishing that all that effort for my instagram reels was put into Long Form videos.

I'd love to hear from people in similar situations. Passion was there, money was not, so passion faded.

(Btw the only two clients I still have for my agency are basically my only stable income)
