TikTok not only depends on luck, but at least you can make a tempo that is easy to stop and hard to leave. TikTok The first thing to look at when making a video is whether there is a design that makes you want to see the continuation on the first screen rather than what to say.
In this article, while using CapCut's TikTok video maker , we will organize in Japanese the parts that are easy to reproduce even in viral video editing, how to make a draft, and the final check before posting.
TikTok The first thing to decide in how to make a video is the first second from the story
TikTok the most important thing about making a video is that in the first second, you can tell what the video is and why to watch it at the same time. Not only the good or bad of the story, whether there is a design to stop the line of sight in the first one screen, viewing maintenance changes greatly.
If you put too much information at the beginning, it will be difficult to see. As a result, it is stronger to be conscious of one screen of information and narrow it down to one of "questions," "surprises," and "fragments of conclusions" at first.
Even if it is difficult to reproduce the buzz as it is, you can adjust whether the meaning is transmitted in the first second or whether you want to proceed to the next cut. If you divide the common points of growing videos into "parts that can be adjusted by editing," reproducibility will increase a little.
3-stage configuration necessary for viral video editing
- STEP 1
- Hook: Draw a sense of incongruity or conclusion that makes you want to see more in the first second. STEP 2
- Deployment: Show the reason or process in 2-8 seconds at a good tempo. STEP 3
- Recovery: Finally, put one of the reasons for satisfaction, surprise, or preservation.
If you are aware of this three-stage configuration, you will reduce the points lost in editing. If the hook is weak, remake the beginning short, if the development is heavy, drop the duplicate cut, if the collection is weak, say the conclusion in one sentence, it will be easier to see the direction of rework.
This three-stage configuration is not only for people with strong stories. Everyday story, review, commentary, because it can be used in any of the before and after, it serves as a foundation to reduce the hesitation of each one. It's easier to continue with the feeling of deciding the type first and then replacing the content.
CapCut Using Templates and AI to Create Drafts
CapCut When making it a practice subject, it is efficient to start with a TikTok video maker or template, create a tapping board with AI, and then fix only the tempo. Rather than making from scratch, it is easier to mass-produce by borrowing a mold and strengthening the beginning.
- STEP 1
- Put the conclusion you want to convey in one sentence, and decide the direction of the template or tapping board. STEP 2
- If you feel that the first second is weak, replace it with another cut only at the beginning. STEP 3
- Duplicate explanations are cut off and the middle of the tempo is shortened. STEP 4
- Add subtitles and sounds to create a shape that you want to save and share at the end.
The template is more like a draft than a finished product, and if you focus on your own words, you can avoid a similar impression. The more AI and templates you use, the more effective this last step becomes.
Editing and pre-post checking without reducing viewer retention
In order not to drop the viewing retention rate, it is important to create a state where the flow can be followed without listening to the sound. If necessary, add short subtitles in CapCut's automatic subtitles app to make it easier to grasp the content even if it is silent.
Also, the way to show the same vertical and short is slightly different, so if you look at how to make Instagram reels for beginners , it will be easier to grasp the adjustment feeling for each platform. TikTok, it is important not to cut too much from the beginning to the conclusion, but to keep the balance.
Before posting, it will be easier to judge if you look at it once with sound and once without sound. Videos that can follow the flow without sound tend to be easy to watch until the end even in short lengths. Even when you're wondering whether to include subtitles, this perspective makes it easier to decide.
- Subtitles : Leave the minimum sentence that can follow the meaning even in silence.
- Tempo : Cut to restate the same information.
- How to end : Finish with a conclusion that you want to save and share.
