Video Tutorial
Introduction:
Thank you for purchasing my tutorial. I will try to keep this as short and simple as possible so
you can quickly get started making content.
Step 1:
First step to creating my videos is writing the script. Sometimes, I write one from scratch or look
up quotes from books I’ve read or from famous authors I’ve heard of. For the most part, though,
I usually use TikTok and Instagram to find quotes and authors that are currently popular. You
can easily do this by searching for the specific types of quotes you want on Instagram and
TikTok.
Step 2:
The next step is getting our voiceover. Since I’ve already made a tutorial on how I create my
voice-overs, I will include that here. You can watch it to see what software I use and how I get
my voice to sound the way it does.
Step 3:
Now we need to find a good editing software you’re comfortable with. I use CapCut for its
effects, filters, and simple design, but any software you’re familiar with will work just as well.
Step 4:
The fourth step is gathering visuals for your video. When I’m creating mine, I often use websites
like [Link], [Link], Tenor, and sometimes Pinterest to find clips of cartoons
and anime. The clips I use are usually just GIFs I save from these websites. Many people think I
edit full clips, but I typically just work with GIFs I find on these platforms.
Step 5:
Now we will begin the actual process of creating our videos. Before you start, set your aspect
ratio to 4:3. Once that’s done, paste your MP3 voiceover into CapCut. Immediately start paying
attention to each pause in your voiceover and what’s being said by examining the track.
Let’s use this quote as an example: “If you avoid conflict to keep the peace, you start a war
inside yourself.’ You probably avoid conflict because it’s easier than arguing or upsetting
someone. But you know, as well as I do, that avoiding conflict to protect yourself only causes
harm. Just because some people thrive on drama doesn’t mean you have to participate.”
The first pause happens at the end of the sentence, ‘If you avoid conflict to keep the peace.’ To
match this, I’d look for a clip showing someone getting yelled at or ignoring someone. A lot of
people ask how I match clips to the dialogue, but it’s as simple as finding visuals that represent
what’s being said, then aligning them with the pauses in your voiceover. For example, I would
go to Giphy and type ‘cartoon argument.’ You’ll see plenty of GIFs appear. Sometimes, it’s not
that easy to find exactly what you want, so I recommend searching through popular shows and
sifting through the clips until you find one that matches your script. Try your hardest to find clips
that convey the emotions you want.
Now that we have our GIF, add it to your CapCut library and place it so it aligns with the first
sentence. Repeat this process until you’ve found enough GIFs to fill the track and complete your
video. If you want the VHS effect like I use in my videos, you can apply these filters according to
the ratios.
Step 6:
Once you’ve finished editing and adding filters to your liking, export your video, ensuring it’s in
the 4:3 aspect ratio. Then, start a new project. After importing your video, switch the aspect ratio
to 9:16 for TikTok and Instagram Reels. Position your video on the screen to your preference. I
like to place it slightly above center to enhance the TV effect, but that’s up to you.
Next, you’ll want to mask your video to give it a rounded appearance. There are many ways to
achieve this effect, but I believe the easiest method is using the masking feature in CapCut or
any other editing software of your choice. I recommend experimenting with this feature to
explore different styles, but for my videos, I use these specific settings.
Step 7:
Now, let’s go ahead and add captions to the video. Regardless of the editing software you use
to create your content, I highly recommend using CapCut for captions, as it is by far the best
software for this. As for the captions themselves, you should use whatever style you think looks
best.
It’s also possible to download captions from other websites to get more options, such as the
Apple Garamond font, which many of you are probably familiar with.
Once you’ve added the captions, simply export your video, and you’re done!
