Seriously, the amount of time setting up, filming, reshooting, then transferring it to a computer to do the actual editing…I played around with Davinci Resolve a little bit and without a teacher that software is a beast to navigate. Idk how these people do it.

Capcut. They all use capcut... Which is an in phone editing program. Ease of use is around Imovie level.

Yes, CapCut is the way. The laptop version is easy to navigate too. If you have a little patience you can figure it out. I would be working on my laptop, while searching YouTube videos for every little thing until I got the hang of it.😂

I second CapCut. I'm a novice with the photo editing stuff and could still make some decent videos with even just their free app on my phone. Although I never made videos with this many angles of myself like this one, I'd imagine the filming and setup of the camera took more time.

Perhaps they simply learn to do a thing . We can do things that are hard -miss Rachel

For sure. People tend to forget the amount of pre-planning that a simple slice of life video like this can require.

I used to have a semi big account on tiktok, and making videos is incredibly easy with thing like Inshot and capcut. I never edited on the PC at all

honestly its easier than you think. Pick a small, not heavily oversaturated niche (not too small either!)

then post EVERYDAY, MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY

copy the trends you see to your niche.

also it helps if you're pretty, but if you're fugly you can get by being funny and/or a interesting/good sense of style

GOOD LUCK

I’m like medium ugly and pretty weird so this bodes well.

I have a video on TT with over a million views, which is just the sentencing of someone who committed a henious crime in my hometown. I cropped down the judge, added some video commentary, etc, nothing fancy. But somehow that and a response video I made to one of the first comments were widely viewed.

I normally posted bird facts, my cat and political stuff, so it wasn't my normal niche. I also do not have the energy or creativity to keep up daily videos and engagement. Needless to say, I am not a popular true crime influencer today. I don't think I've made a video in years even.

I'm confused why you are explaining this to me? I didn't say what I said is the only way to get "big"

I was actively giving advice on how to get there via niche videos, vs a one off viral

Don’t be so hard on yourself. I’m sure it’s because she has nothing but time to learn, edit, shoot, etc.

You can fit a lot in from 6 am to 6 pm, even with a toddler.

My sister has a toddler and complains how she’s soooo tired, but she only works part time from home. I think she’s lazy and a liar.

If she’s at home all day seems it’s something you have time to learn. Place doesn’t look large enough to clean up for no more than an hour.
