How to Create More videos in Less Time – 10 Life Hacks
The harsh reality that just about every YouTuber hits up against sooner rather than later is the ever present demand for new content.
No matter how you look at it the Youtube algorithm is a voracious beast that rewards new content creation.
It generally doesn’t take too long before your bright and shiny attitude towards making videos starts to lose that shine and pretty soon it all descends into a daily grind.
Funnily enough for many people, avoiding a daily grind was the goal in the first place!
The good news is that it doesn’t actually have to be that way.
The key to all of this is having a production strategy that is repeatable and learning when to step away for some “me” time and recharge.
Here are some tips from a pro.
Quick Tip: Using White Text Over Bright Footage
Quite often there may be time when you want to use white text for titles in your video projects.
This can be all very well if the footage is on the darker side of things but if that footage is even a little light then the text loses impact.
In the video below you can see some common strategies for addressing this problem so you can keep the white text and still have it clear to the audience.
Move Titles on the Screen with Sound Effects
Often when you are adding titles to footage to provided important or further information that text can easily get lost and be missed by the audience.
Of course you can always make the titling text so big they can’t miss it but that takes “cheesy” to a new level.
The problem here is that the audience is usually quite focused on the action and because of that the title can come and go without being noticed.
One answer to that is to add sound effects to the title’s entry and even exit to gently draw attention to it without being too jarring.

How to Make 5 Title Animations in Movavi Video Editor 2024
Title animations are pretty much expected these days in most online videos.
In the same way that jumps cuts have become part of the language of video animated titles have also been added.
Now that doesn’t means the crazier you make them the better they are!
It just means that audiences today have become accustomed to motion in titles to the point where titles with no motion tend to stick out as being somehow incomplete or even wrong.
Either way your job is to give them what they want so here are some title animation suggestions for your own projects.
Mastering Keyframe Curves: Understanding Position Keyframes
Obviously keyframing has been a feature in Filmora for years now but the interface has undergone quite few changes over time.

Basic Motion Tracking in DaVinci Resolve 18.6
Most video editing software these days has or is moving towards having an automated motion tracking solution. PowerDirector, Video Studio and Filmora all have them so in the video below you can see how to do it in DaVinci Resolve.
If you are not sure why you need motion tracking here’s a brief rundown on that.
Often you may want an effect, a mask or even an object to follow along with the movement of some part of a video.
The long and laborious way to do this is to step through the video and add keyframes as you go along with those keyframes being applied to the thing you want to add.
This pretty much takes forever!
Automated motion tracking allows you to designate what it is you want tracked then have the software do the heavy lifting for you.
The result of the tracking action is called a “motion path” and once you have that you can attach anything to it.
