Tried content creation to market my previous start up, but completely burned out editing. Anyone who knows the solution ?
Hi folks,
I am reaching out to the community to see if anyone has solved the pain points I faced with short form content creation ?
For context, I am not a full time content creator so I obviously do not know the full landscape of capabilities / workflows which exist today. I tried content creation to market my previous start up, but it just took way too much time out of my day and even then I couldn’t get high-quality results. I talked to the creators in my circle, did some research, explored tools but somehow they all faced the same issues mostly.
I want to automate these pain points, but before I spend a lot of time in doing so, I want to check if the wider community knows of any solutions to them.
The key things I struggled with are:
Scrubbing through a large number of raw footages to find the key moments. There are tools like capcut, captions, davinci which claim to do this automatically, but somehow that didn’t work for me as they chose irrelevant clips.
even after I identify the key moments, there is a lot of effort needed to tweak scenes, arrange them, add effects, pacing etc.
There are tons of decisions I am required to make, but I didn’t know which combinations make a high quality output. For example, I didn’t know when to use fade in, or cuts, or shake effects, and which combinations is good vs average.
It takes a lot of time to refine, and a lot of back and forth to land cuts in sync with music track.
