Deep secret: What skills do you need to engage in short video creation?

Short video has always been an endless topic. It is conservatively estimated that there are 800 million short video users in China at present, and the average daily short video brushing exceeds 1.5 hours, which also makes more and more creators switch from graphic to short video creation. What skills do beginners need to engage in short video creation?

First, find out your strengths and weaknesses.

Each short video platform distinguishes different fields in detail, such as face value, life, city and food, which basically cover different scenes. For beginners, they need to find their own areas of expertise, which can not only reflect their professionalism in this field, but also provide a steady stream of material updates.

Second, script writing.

Script is the core of shooting video, which splits a video into multiple lens languages to maintain the continuity of video images. In addition, the script can reasonably control the video frequency of each scene, and the video picture is accurate to seconds, thus improving the video playback rate.

Third, shooting equipment.

It is impossible to avoid video shooting by making short videos. At present, the commonly used shooting tools are divided into cameras and mobile phones. For most users, choosing a mobile phone with a pixel height can basically meet the daily video shooting needs. Fill light, mobile phone stand and so on are also essential shooting tools.

Fourth, video editing.

Video editing tools can be divided into professional and simple types. Professionals can choose editing tools such as PR, Final Cut Pro and iMovie, which are suitable for fine video processing and have certain editing skills for users. The simple type can choose editing tools such as snapshot, cut and cut, and can be used for ordinary video editing, which basically meets the daily video editing needs of platforms such as Tik Tok, Aauto Quicker and Bi Li Bi Li. Meet the common editing function and complete video processing in minutes.

For users who want to add subtitles to the video, they can choose a third-party tool, just like the Zhihu manuscript that many users are using, which can automatically convert the video into a subtitle file with one click and quickly and efficiently add subtitles to the video.

The above is just the preparation of "hardware". For short video creators, it is more important to understand the platform allocation rules and master the operation skills, so as to continuously gain the attention of fans and improve their personal short video creation ability.
