How to level up your short form content

With the increasing popularity of short form content, it's clear that people are gravitating towards quick and easily digestible video. Just because the format is short, it doesn't mean the content can't be engaging or educational. 

Here are some tips for creating short form content that will grab your audience's attention:

  1. Keep it focused: With short form content, it's important to get to the point quickly. Opt out of personal introductions and instead say the main message or idea within the first 5 seconds of your video. 

  2. Use attention-grabbing visuals: Whether it's flashy graphics, visually appealing locations, or engaging performance, make sure your visuals are eye-catching and add value to the information you’re trying to convey.

  3. Experiment with different formats: Short form content can take many forms, from videos and live streams to photos and GIFs. Try out different formats and see what works best for you and your audience.

  4. Utilize music and sound effects: Music and sound effects can add another layer of emotion and engagement to your content. Experiment with different tracks and see what works best for your style and message.

Try using an external video editing software: Programs like Final Cut Pro or Adobe Premiere give you more control over editing and allow you to upload your content to several platforms without watermarks (and cutting down on total editing time).
