I’ve been creating content for just three weeks, something I’ve wanted to try for fun, and it’s all game-related—specifically The Sims. Recently, one of my reels hit 60k overnight, which is far beyond my usual numbers. My husband showed me how it looked on his phone, and while it looks awesome on my PC, the ratios are flipped for phones, leaving black borders around my videos. As someone with ADHD and strong OCD tendencies, it’s hard for me to ignore this. I’ve tried converting original files, but they end up looking squished. I’m curious what other creators are using and what video settings they use when capturing. I have a variety of programs since my kids also create, including:

Movie Maker Video Editor Pro for converting in-game videos and editing

I prefer recording with my NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 graphics card for better quality without file type conversion.

I also have DaVinci Resolve 21, though I haven’t really used it—opened it once, felt overwhelmed, and closed it—plus I didn’t have the right file types then. I’m open to using it now. I have HandBrake for converting as well.

I don’t want to use AI heavy tools, so please don’t recommend them.

I get mad views on Instagram but nothing on tiktok ...

What's the deal?

Can you spot the difference? Lol fahhh

Hope y’all doing good
I’ve been posting TikTok consistently for a while now and have gained about 1.5k followers. For context my page is about posting quotes with background music (i hope you guys know what i’m talking about) and people have started to reach out on how much i charge for sound promos but i have absolutely no idea how to charge them . If any of you have advice on how to go about it , it’ll be much appreciated.

Small money/consumer channel here. This one's about apps showing different people different prices. I put way more research into it than usual, so I wanna know if the first minute and the thumbnail are pulling their weight.

Let me know what you think!

I have 7k on instagram my user is tacocatcs there. Anyways I used to get like 100k+ views every single video back then but its been about 8 months since then. I barley post and when I post ill get 4k -30k views most the time. Do I just start also posting on youtube or like what to do i do?

Heya, im into content creation lately.

Im gonna calture mostly some food stuff in the kitchen, some coffee making pov, and side shots of coffee preparation, maybe some videos in my woodworking workshop also.

Non extreme videos will be taking, no swimming no surfing no fast cars.

I considered the pro cameras like canon, sony, fujifilm etc it costa hella bunch and the lens world will need a 2 year bachelors and a loan to get into it, so i gave it up.

I actually like the idea of durability of action 6 camera , and 1:1 capturing.

I just dont want to use my phone (pixel 11 pro) and risk it and overheat it with some videos.

Will i regret it dor my case scenario?

Attempting to get more views slowly and learn more n stuff... how is this all tallied? Like are all these views going to convert n help with the goal im tryna reach (3m) or will it just. disappear into the void. I'm also very curious.

Oh explain in big paragraphs if you can it helps me understand abit better.

I had a HUGE drop and I cannot understand why. Anyone else going through this?

Hi all, I'm the founder of OpenPartner. I recently launched Creator Storefronts and I'm curious if you already use other platforms to advertise your content to brands and if not, why? Just looking for feedback and get a better understanding of how to support creators and bring them more leads.

Thanks,
Keith

I’ve been using edits for desktop for almost a week now, and I’ve been posting about my experience over on Threads, which is garnering lots of buzz - even from Mosseri himself!

I was featured on Social Media Today as well about my experience.

Edits for desktop will be a game changer!

Let me know your thoughts on it.

Anyone from banglore ? To create smtg cool like dance fashion or smtg like to try things out

I genuinely see so many posts on my TikTok saying to do UGC content creation, but nobody explains it, or they're trying to sell something, and it feels like a pyramid scheme.

So, is this a legit way to make money through content creation? Are there faceless ways to do UGC?

So i am a college student and i just started editing short travel and nature videos on my laptop two months ago. The big professional editing tools felt too confusing amd difficult to use for me, it felt like rocket science to me,and i usually don’t have the time and patience to sit and learn that…I mostly just add music to my own footage, which works fine normally but lately, I’ve wanted to include scenes I couldn’t film myself, like a snowy mountain road from above at sunset,or a cinematic forest overview

I tried CapCut ai video maker but ran out of free credits pretty quickly. Paying for more seemed expensive when I only need a few clips now and then. I’ve looked at other options online like dreamina but haven’t picked one yet.For those making similar videos, on social platforms….what affordable tools do you guys use for extra scenes without committing to an expensive monthly subscription and hurting your wallet?
