This video reveals the secrets behind creating high-quality, viral face videos on YouTube, focusing on research, editing techniques, and tools. The creator shares a practical method for identifying trending topics, combining them for unique content, and enhancing videos with subtitles, motion graphics, and transitions.
Many creators spend hours editing videos with great quality but get few views, while new channels gain traction quickly. The key difference is the quality of viral videos, which is the focus of this guide.
Research is about understanding what your target audience wants and identifying niche trends. The creator uses a simple method: create two lists—one of trending videos in your niche and another of popular topics from competitor channels—then combine ideas from both to create a unique video.
List 1: Find trending videos in your niche from your YouTube homepage, check if they get more views than other videos on the channel, and use tools like video extension for view velocity and YouTube research tab for search volume. List 2: Filter competitor channels' most popular videos to see which topics got the highest views in a short time. Combine one idea from each list to create a new video idea.
Editing is easier when you have a clear vision. Fill your voiceover with b-rolls, screen recordings, images, or text based on the image you have in your head. This helps create a more engaging edit.
Download reaction images from Google, replace the head with your logo, and use them in your videos. Add smooth transitions between cards to make edits more engaging. The creator references Fin's video for more on this trick.
Write down the words you're speaking and sync them, or use the auto-capturing tool. Align text to the middle, add presets by cutting the text layer five frames back and forward, and add glow by nesting text layers and changing blend mode to 'near ad' (likely 'add'). Add Gaussian blur and adjust opacity for a cinematic look.
Use a website (likely 'we.upload') to upload your voiceover, enable emojis and highlighting, generate captions, adjust misspelled words, and choose an animation style. Export and add a mask in Premiere Pro to remove the watermark, then use the 'ultra CR' effect to remove the background.
Learning After Effects is the best option for creating motion graphics and text animations. Free tools like Premiere Composer and Premiere Studio offer motion graphics, text animations, and sound effects. Search Google for free motion graphics for Premiere Pro.
Transitions, when used correctly, add flow and maintain the vibe of the edit. Use transition packs and sound effects to elevate videos. Investing in a high-quality audio setup can improve retention with less editing effort. Use copyright-free music from sites like 'adlist'.
The key to viral face videos is a combination of thorough research, creative editing techniques, and effective use of tools like subtitles, motion graphics, and audio. By following these methods, creators can improve their video quality and potentially increase views and subscribers.
