1. Intro: Do you feel that
it's exhausting, trying to keep up with the current algorithms
on Instagram, constantly creating
video content. Me too. So I've been trying
to figure out ways to create short videos more easily. Because I know that
at least for me, sharing on social media is an important thing to market myself as an artist
and online teaching. And honestly, I probably should
be more on social media. But at the moment, being
a mom of a two-year-old, I also feel that I don't have all the time in
the world to do so. So in this class,
I will teach you some ideas on how to create
short video content. I would call them shortcuts. Yes, you still need to do the
work and create the videos. But with these shortcuts, you can spend a lot
less time on it. I might have favored
a pattern designer and online teacher. And in this class,
I will teach you a few different ways to create video content for social media. We will specifically
focus on Instagram Reels, but in the end of class, I will also teach you
how to quickly repurpose your videos so you
can share them on TikTok and YouTube
shorts as well. All to make it feel easier
to share a short videos are aligned and to make it
take less of your time. As a bonus, I've
included to photo editing presets you can download for free when
you watch this class. When I snap a photo or
video with my phone, I always add a preset. It's a quick way of
making adult photo look fresh and also to have a cohesive photo style
within my brand. The free presets are from me and my husband's brand
favorite company where we create premium
resources for creating, such as Procreate brushes, hand-written fonts,
and Lightroom presets. You can check out all of
our products in my webshop, my favorite.com slash shop. As a goodie in this class, I've included a 15% discount if you want to buy our preset bundle after
watching this class, watch to the end of class
to get the discount. So if you're ready to
learn my shortcuts, to make video content, social media, and to make it feel more fun and
less complicated, Let's jump into class.
2. Your Project: In this class, I will
teach you how to create five different short
videos with the purpose to share on Instagram,
TikTok, and YouTube. You can choose yourself
if you want to create. All five are just one
or a few other videos. And you can also choose yourself if you want to use
them on Instagram, TikTok or YouTube shorts, or repurpose your videos and post them on
all three channels. When sharing the project. In this class, you can post
an image of your video, a screenshot, or the artwork that you use to
create your video. And share the links to
where you have shared the videos on social media so that we all can
check them out. Also, if you share on
TikTok or Instagram, feel free to tag me. I would love to see
what you create.
3. Downloads and Resources: In this class, I'm using
a few different apps to create the different
types of short videos. I will explain just why I
use the different apps in the lessons and which apps I recommend for
different videos. There's no mask to have end-use all of these apps
if you don't want to. And if you don't want to
create all the videos, you can just download
some of that. If it feels overwhelming to install all of
the apps at once, watched the class first
and get a feel of four you want to create and
which apps you want to use. Maybe you want to use all, or maybe you just want
to use a few of them. It all depends on the different video styles and which ones you feel that
you want to create. If however, I do want to create all of the videos that
I make in this class. Go ahead and install all
of the apps at once. I've been trying
many different apps during the years that
I've been creating video. And also before
making this class so that I could recommend
apps that are really good. The apps that I recommend are the ones that works
the best for me. So if that said, these are the apps that I will
use in this class. Lightroom, Premiere, Rush, beat, leap, Canva, pixel
cuts, and Pinterest. All of these apps are
free to download and you can use the basic
functions for free. If you do want to use more advanced features of
some of the apps like e.g. beat, leap and Canva, you can subscribe to that. I have subscribed
as I wanted to try out the advanced functions
before creating this class. And my honest opinion
is that you can get by pretty far with
the free versions. So start with those
and see if you want more advanced
features in the future. I'm using an iPhone, but I hope that you will
find that these apps were similar if you use an
Android phone as well. I have never owned
or used an Android, so I have no experience
to share about that. Unfortunately, Let's hope that
Google can help you there. If there's something
you are wondering specifically about Android
phones and these apps, when it comes to channels
to share your short videos, I'm using Instagram,
TikTok, and YouTube. If you only use one
of these channels, which you don't need
other apps installed. I'm also sharing a
tip about making videos from exported
Procreate time lapses. So if you do use Procreate, this is for you. It's now must to have or use Procreate to
take this class. You can probably
still find use for the editing texts that
I share in that lesson, even if you don't use
Procreate to draw. So now to the free downloads, I've included two free
Lightroom presets in this class from me and my husband's brand
favorite company. We will use this
lighter and presets and the mobile version of
Lightroom to quickly make our photos look like something we actually
want to share online instead of those
dark colored phone photos. To download the free presets, tap the link in the PDF
you can download in class, or go to the URL that
you see on screen. Now, if you use the Skillshare
app on your phone or iPad, it can be hard to find
the PDF you can download. In that case, you can go through your L or you can login to your Skillshare account on your computer and download
the PDF from there. When you have tapped on
the link in the PDF, you will get to this page
where you will add your name and e-mail address and tap to unlock to go to a
Dropbox folder. You can download your
free files to your phone. You don't need a Dropbox
account to download the file. So don't worry about that. When you have
downloaded the files, they should end up in your downloads folder
on your phone. At least that is
what they do for me. So to install these presets, we need to download the files. Tab one of the files, tab the three little dots in the top right corner
and download. And now the file will
be downloaded to the Downloads folder
on your iPhone. Do the same with
the other presets. Tap, define three little dots, download and download again. And you can even download
the installation guide. If you want to check
that out later on. Or if you want to read
installation guide, instead of watching
me show you how to download the presets and
install them in Lightroom. When you have
downloaded the files, tab, the share symbol
and tap downloads. And here you have your files. I will go to Lightroom and tap the little image
symbol with a plus. Look my files up in the
downloads folder on my iPhone. Tap one of the files. And as I've already
downloaded and installed these presets
in my Lightroom, it will say to me that I have added a duplicate of this file, but you will not get
that error message. So you will have your files downloaded and I'll just
show you here how I do it when I open
up the DNG file in Lightroom and
save the preset. So tap the DNG file. This is the creative life. One. Tap the three little dots
in the top right corner. Create presets. Here, you can choose
a user group. We can create a new
group for these presets. Here, you can create
a preset group. We can create a
new preset group. With these presets. I will just write Faber
company presets here and tap the little checkmark
to add a preset group. Then I will name my preset the first one, creative life one. And then I will tap the little check mark in
the top right corner. Then I will do the same
with the other file that has the studio boost
number three presets. And then I have saved
both on my presets in Lightroom so that
I can use them on all sorts of photos
in the future. I will show you later on in class how to use these presets. What's important in this
lesson is that you get your presets downloaded and
installed in Lightroom.
4. Images to Video: It's time to start with
the first type of video, which I call images to video. Here we will use images. You can use photos
that you've taken, or as I do here, color variations of a pattern. So I just export a bunch of
calibrations of this pattern. And I save them as JPEGS
on my camera roll. As I use Procreate
to draw my patterns. That is what I'm showing here, how to export jpegs
from Procreate. But really what
matters is that you have images that you want
to create a video on. So it can be your artwork, and that can be any type of hand-drawn or digital
drawn artwork that you have
exported as the apex. Or it can be images of
your artwork or whatever, you want to create a
video from images stuff. So when I have exported
and saved my images, my art work for me that is a few different color
variations of a pattern. I open up Canvas. If you've never been in this app before, it's super efficient. And for me I would say it's
a simple app to learn. And I think that it's
really good to create all sorts of
marketing materials, especially like mobile videos
and also presentations, Pinterest, pins and all
those sorts of things. You can experiment more with the app after this class if
you've never used it before. But I will just show
you how to very quickly create a video
from images in this app. The first thing that I would
do is to find some type of template here that has
the right dimensions. So it can either
be a mobile video or you can tap social
media, instagram. And here you have
Instagram Reels. Let's just tap that. I will start with a blank. There are some different
templates here, but I won't use them. I will just create
plank. From here. I tap camera roll
because I want to add the images that I exported. And I can tap images. And here I have the
images that I have exported with my different
color variations. So I can just tap to
add a few of these. I don't know if I want
to add all of them, but let's add one to. I want to add them in an order that I feel good with
the colors, I think. So 34567. Yeah, let's add seven images. I could add all to one page, but this is a real shortcut
and that is to tap, Add as new pages. That way your images will be added automatically
to one-page age. So canva might need to work a bit here to be able
to upload your images. But when it's finished, I will just scroll down there. It has added my images
to separate pages. I will start with just tapping the first empty image
here and tap Delete. Then I can see the
different collaborations. I don't want to pinks in a row so I can just remove
one of those. Yeah, Let's try that out. So it's really simple here, is that you can make
adjustments to all of the pages at once with
many different things. So when I tap the first page, I can tap this little
clock symbol here. And here it says timings, so I can drag or I
can just type in, Let's try up 2 s and then I
can tap apply to all pages. Now all of the pages
have changed to 2 s. So let's tap Play
and see how that looks. That's a pretty slow type of transformation
there with the colors. Let's see what we
can do about that. I will tap that small
little plus symbol in the middle and
add a transition. Here. You can add different
type of fun transitions. You can have dissolve,
slide, line wipe. There's some really fun
things you can do here. I will use the line wipe. Then I can tap apply
between all pages. Now you can see that all pages are shortened to the
first one is 1.1, 0.7 s, and then
there's 1.5 s each. So let's just try it out. Tap play. I still feel that
it's a little bit too long on each color. So I will tap the
first page again, tap the little clock symbol, and I will just try 1 s per
page and apply to all pages. And tap play again. There you can see a
pretty cool short video created in a very
simple and quick way. And this one is actually
ready to be exported. But I just wanted to show you one more thing and that
is that as you can see, when I added all
of the images too, one page each, they have been placed exactly on
the same position. So if this somehow
doesn't happen for you, or if you want to add your
images manually to each page, you can add a page, tap the little plus symbol, and let's just add one
other images here. And then what I usually do to make sure that
they are placed exactly the same is that
I drag on each side. So I find these little lines and I drag up and down and to
the left and to the right. And if I add another
page with another image, if I drag the exact same up and down and
two left and right. You can see that it's placed exactly on the same position. That's a good tip if you want to add images to pages manually. But now I will just delete this examples and
export my image. Download it. I will export it as an MP4 video and all pages and tap Download. Now Canva will need to work a little bit to export this video. And then I will save the
video to my camera roll. Now the video is saved to my
camera roll and we can go in to the camera roll
and check out the video. So now we have our first
finished short video. You can upload it to TikTok, Instagram or YouTube shorts or wherever you want to
share this video on that.
5. Inspiring Clips - Videos: This type of video is what
I call inspiring clips. And that can be anything really. It can be images or photos of your life in general
that are inspiring from your studio or
whatever you want to take images and videos of that
can inspire your audience. So let's just try this out. I will use the app beat leap, which is free to download and use the basic functions are. And if you want to use
more advanced features, you need to pay for
a subscription. I have paid for a
subscription here. Really just to try it out and see what you are missing if you don't subscribe to the paid
subscription with this app, I feel that you can go by pretty good with
the free version. But if you want to create a
lot of videos in beat leap, you might want to think about
subscribing to the app, but you don't need to do it to create the videos
that we will create. Now, in beat leap, I will tap the plus sign. And here I will add videos or
images from my camera roll. And it will be a little bit
met them because it will be videos of me
creating this class. So I have one video here that I have filmed when
I'm filming this class. And then I have
one video where I have filmed my studio set up. In this short video, I'm only using two videos
to create this effect. After we created this video, I will also show you how
to create the same type of inspiring video with photos instead using beat leap as well. But let's use videos
for this one. So I choose the
videos that I want to add and then I tap Next. In here, you can choose new
sick, the free version. You don't have that much
music to choose from. I have the paid version, so I have a lot of music. But for me it feels
like audio is something that can be trending
on Instagram. So sometimes I add a song from here and I upload it
directly to Instagram. And sometimes I actually
create this width, some music MBA clip. When I upload it to Instagram, I take down the original audio, which is this one that
I'm adding now to zero. And then I add another
song on Instagram. Then that might be
if I want to use some specific song
that's on Instagram, or if I want to use
some type of trending. The app is actually
made for sinking audio with video or images that
you create a video of. But I'm using it as a shortcut to create a quick video
from different clips. So let me just show you
how we use this song. I would just lower the volume so you don't hear that too much, but now we know
which song it is. I am better off. Then I tap the song. Here I have my beat
live video. Here. You can do some
different things. If you have the free version, I think that you
can use black fade, fast cat, assume the slow-mo,
maybe something else. But I can use all of the features because I
have the paid version. So the different options add different effects
if you tap them. And you can see the little dots. So where are the green dots are, is where the zoom is added. If you tap one time, it adds a few zooms, two times a few more and
three times a bunch of Zooms. You could add slow-mo. If you have two short video. Sometimes these effects
won't be added. So this is not an
app to be really detailed about video editing. It's an app to create short, interesting videos
very, very quickly. Sometimes they use these
effects and sometimes I just feel that it's too
much with the effects. So let's just try it out
without defects and then you can experiment yourself with effects and see if
you want to use them. But what I usually do is
tap tools and duration. Here, if you have
the free version, you can use 101520 or 30
s. I have mine on ten. Now, if I tap 15, there will be a few
different cuts in the video. So now I'm only using two clips, so I will actually tap, snap. So I have a very short video. If I would use like five or ten clips or
something like that, I might want to have
a longer video. But now as I just
have two short clips, I will use the snap. Here you have some
different settings, which I feel that you can
experiment with yourself. You can tweak the video. If you have the free version, you can replace image segments. I usually don't go in and edit the details that much
in my beat leap videos. Because I use this
app as a shortcut to edit videos together or images
together really quickly. And I don't really
mind the details. That way I can create a real TikTok video or a YouTube video really,
really quickly. So let's just head back
and now I have 10 s. I can scroll back over here and tap
Play and see how it looks. So basically, what this app has done is to put my
videos together. Now I just have two videos. So it has just put
those videos together. But let's add some fast
and maybe slow-mo. Now, it doesn't want to add slow-mo if I have
this short video. So I would tap 15 s instead
and see what happens. When I have the fast
and the slow-mo. There starts with a slow-mo and there are some
fast cuts over there. Maybe I don't want to fast
cuts made by just want one or actually maybe no fast cuts and
just one slow-mo. So that looks pretty good to me. I will tap duration and
10 s because I feel that this video should be 10
s. This not much happening. I'm pretty happy with
that. So with this video, I didn't add that many effects. But it's still a quick way of putting some different
videos together to an interesting clip
that you can share as a real or a TikTok video
or as YouTube short. When you're finished, you tap Save and it will save
to your camera roll. Next step in this process
is to add a preset to this video so
that the colors will pop and the video will look
a bit more interesting. So this is the first time we tap into the Lightroom
app to use that. What I do in the Lightroom
app is that I tap this little image symbol with a plus sign and I add from my camera roll my newly
exported video from beat leap. This way. If you export from the clip
first and then add a preset, it will be much quicker
work process in Lightroom because if you would add the presets to
the full videos, it will take much longer
time for Lightroom to work with your files. So make the video
firstly meet leap, so that you have a
short video here. And then you can add
a preset electrode. In Lightroom, we tap presets. Here. I'm going to use
one of the presets that you are getting
for free in this app. If you look at this video window up here and I tap the preset, you can see that there's a huge difference in how the
colors look in this video. I found that some presets
that work really good on photos doesn't work
that good, or videos. But for me in my setting here, with this video, the studio boost number
three works really good. Then I tap a little
check mark down here, and now I can play
to see my video. That looks really good. Now I will just tap the little export button
and export to camera roll. Then I tapped a
checkmark so that I save those settings
to that video. And if I go into my photo
library camera roll, I can see that this is the second video where
we have added a preset, and this is the first one. So as you can see, the
colors are really popping and they look really
fresh in this new video. So that's one way of creating
a video in beat leap.
6. Inspiring Clips - Photos: That's one way of
using beat leap with videos and Lightroom
to add presets. The next way to use beat
leap is to use photos. And with that, I usually
export the photos with the presets first and then
I use them in beat lip. So that's the other way around, but that's how I like
to work with photos. So I will just show
you an example of how to add the presets
to a photo instead. So you tap the photo that
you want to add a preset to. And now I will use the
creative life preset instead. Number one, now you have
gotten free in this class. There are more really
good presets in this set, but the creative life one and the studio boost three are the ones that you have gotten
for free in this class. When I add the preset, I tap the checkmark
export to camera roll. Then I can tap back. And let's add another photo. This one, preset
creative life one. Tap the check mark and
export to camera roll. And then I do that with
all of the photos that I want to create a
video of m-bit leap. Then I tap into beat leap. And in the home menu I tap
the green little plus symbol. I can tap photos up here. And then I can choose
which photos I want to add to this beat. So let's add a few of these photos that I
think is inspiring. Okay, let's add those
photos and then tap next. And then we'll use
the same song. And tap this on. Here. If I tap tools, I can change the format because
I want a portrait format. So I tap portrait and tap the little checkbox and
edits or not to duration. And maybe I want to
have 10 s here too. I'm also to find that shorter videos of this type of inspirational clips are
better than longer ones. To keep the attention
span of my audience. Then I tap the little
checkmark when I've added 10 s. And here
we can try out. I don't know how fast cats. That might be fun to add as
many fast cuts as it can. And now when it's the photo, it doesn't want to let me
add more things than Zoom, oppress, black
fade and fast cut. Maybe I want to assume or
maybe I don't want to assume. I don't know. It's really
a matter of preference. Let's try out the Zoom. Okay, So I don t
think that I want to zoom on this video for me, usually less effects are
better than more effects. Otherwise it can be a
little bit too much. And especially if I want to add another audio track
on this video. Then when I'm
finished, I tap Save. And then it will save
to my camera roll. Now we can check
out our new video. So that looks pretty cool. And that's one more finished
video made with beat leap, inspiring images to a video. And the first one was inspiring video to a shorter video clip.
7. Timelapses: This type of short video is based from a time-lapse
in Procreate. If you use Procreate, you can follow along and
export your time-lapse. As I'm doing here, I'm tapping the actions panel. Time lapse is under video and export time-lapse video
and fully linked. So I'm exporting the video and saving it to my camera roll. So in the next step
of this process, you will see that the
way that we will create this video is really
good when it's based on this type digital drawing time-lapse
video that I'm sure that you can use this method if you create another
type of video as well. But now we will head
over to Canvas. I will bring out my phone. On my phone, I will
tap the Canvas app. You could of course, edit your time-lapse
videos in e.g. Premiere Rush or another
type of editing app as well. But I will use Canva
for these types of videos and I will show
you why in a second. In Canva, I tap the home
screen, discard changes. And here I want to create the same type of video format
as I did before in Canva. So I will just create a blank Instagram real
for this one as well. If you can't find
that real format, you tap the home screen, social media, instagram, and
then you tap Instagram real. This format works fine on TikTok and YouTube
shorts as well. Then I tap Create blank. And here I tap Camera Roll. In my camera roll, I will look up the video. So I will tap the
time-lapse video. It's this one and add two page. So here I have my
time-lapse video. And as you can see, it
looks really cool already. What I like about
editing this type of video in Canva is that I can add a background so that
it doesn't look like just a square in the
middle of this format. So what I will do here
is actually just to take a screenshot of this, oops, there, of this page
in Canvas because I want that background and
I found that for me. I can fit the background
of the video, but I can fetch ID of a photo. So after I've taken
a screenshot, I will add from images that
screenshot to the page, and then it was wiped down. And there I have my screenshot. Now. I can go in and tap the background color and this
little eyedropper symbol. I can move over to find the queen whites from
the image and tap Done. Now as you can see, the background color
has changed to the same background
as my artwork. And then I will tap the image that was a screenshot
and I would tap Delete. So I only added an image to be able to fetch
the background color. Now, if I tap Play, you can see that at this point, the background is the same as
the background color here. I can choose if I want to
make this larger, maybe e.g. want to have it to the sites. That looks pretty cool. I can even if I want
to increase the size. So that is not the
square anymore. But I don't want
that type of look, but I just wanted to show
you that you could do that. I will tap undo until
I get my square again. But for me I think that I want
to keep the square filling out the whole width of
my video like this. So that looks good. And now I can edit my video. So the time lapses are
from start, speed it up. But I might want to start. This is from my color mood
board from my patron, but maybe I want to start like there when I first start to sketch. Then I will scroll
there in the video, tap the video and tap splits. Now I can tap the first
part and tap Delete. If I play from the start. Now, it starts when
my sketching starts. So that might be nice. I could also choose to start over here where
I have my sketch. I start to fill in the colors. So let's try that out again. Split the video, tap that
part of the video on tablets. Now this video starts when
I start to add the colors. That way the background is the same color as my
pattern to whole time, which I feel looks good. Usually in these types
of time-lapse videos, there are some parts that
aren't that fun to look at. So instead of just
keeping it as it is, you could also go
through your video. So tap play and see if there's some parts where you can
skip to the next part. Maybe let's split here. Then I can skip to the part. Maybe around here. Then I tap on the video tab split and
I can delete that part. Sometimes when creating
videos that are speeded up, it's more interesting if
you remove some parts. That way you don't lose
interest in your audience. So I will just tap
here to split. And when is that
happening over there? I tap splits. So I don't want to have the
part in the middle here, but I still wanted to
show when I remove those little flowers
on the cacti. And maybe for the time-lapse, I don't want the part when
I create the pattern tile, if you've seen my classes, you've seen how I create
patterns in Procreate, but maybe I don't
want that in this time-lapse video second-year
scroll past that. And there we have the next part. Split there and I
delete that part. Then I can scroll by c. If
I'm happy with the results. Let's just play at the end
and see what's happening. Okay? So for me this looks good, but I think there's
something a little bit strange happening
in the end. So I could actually stop there. And then I split and I tap
that part and I tap Delete. So for me this
looks really good. I might want to add the image
of the finished pattern. So I will bring my iPad again. And I will just
export this image as a day pig to my camera,
roll, save image. And then I can head
back to my phone again. And in Canva, I can
scroll to the very back, tap the plus sign to add a page. Tap the plus sign
to add an image, and then tap Camera Roll and
add the image of my pattern. Now I can choose if I want
the pattern to be like that, the same size or if I want
to increase the size. So maybe it's filling
out the whole page. Let's see how it looks. Maybe I don't want it to
fill up the whole page. I will just tap undo
until I have a square. And then I might not
want that part to be 5 s. I will tap that
part of the video. And maybe I want it to be. Let's try out a 1 s. And then I will check
out how the end of this video looks. That
looks pretty good. So now I will export this video, download it as an MP4 video, and download tap Save video. That will save it
to my camera roll. If we had into my camera roll, we can check out the
finished time-lapse video. I'm really happy with
the results of that. And it's 17 s. For me. It feels like these type
of videos shouldn't be too long because then you lose interests from your audience. So I think that
somewhere around ten, 15 s, 17 is also okay, is good for this type of video.
8. Instagram Templates: In this lesson, I will show you a really quick shortcut to create videos just with
the Instagram app itself. So first, we will start
with some photos. In this example, I'm
using photos from the product mockups in
my society six shop. But really you can
use any type of photos with this
method if you want to use Meet product photos from your print-on-demand shops. This is a little tip
on how to download the actual images to your phone when you have
a product in your shop. This is societies six. I will tap the
little Share symbol over here and tap Pinterest. This is a tip that
I have found is the quickest way for me to save photos from my
online shops, e.g. so I save them to
Pinterest first, that way I can get them in its original resolution and
then I save them to a board. I have a board that says
print on demand products. And for this one, whoops, I want to go
back to society six. And I save a few images of the same pattern but on different products
in the same way. Save this to my print on
demand product board. Then I will tap back to society six and do the same with
some other products. So for this example, I will have ten images to choose from so that
I can choose later on how many and which of the
photos that I want to use. So when I have a few images
from my society six shop, whoops, I will just restart Pinterest and check
out my board. If you have other images that
you want to share this way, you can do that. But I have saved images from my society six
shop to my Pinterest board, both to be able to use them
in a real and also it's always good to have images on Pinterest because it's
marketing channel. So it's kind of a
win-win situation there. You can use these
photos in URLs, but you can also market
your products this way. So when I have my photos here, I can choose which
ones I want to use. But I will just save all of
these to my camera roll. So I tap into the image, tap the three little
dots and download image. I do that with all
of these images. Now. I have all of these
images on my camera roll. So the next thing that
I want to do is to show you how I
changed the format of these photos by cutting
out the background. I do this in an app
called pixel cat. I've just found this app. I think it's really fun. It removes backgrounds
from all sorts of furrows, and that's especially
good with product photos. It's free to use. I don't know how many
cutouts you can do, but I could do a few cat
out before it told me that I needed to wait to
it for hours to do more. So I ended up subscribing
to this app to, to be able to try it out. Before I created this class. As I have subscribed, I can batch to
remove background, but I will just show you first
how I do it on one photos. I tap this photo of the wrapping paper and then I just slide to remove
the background. Sometimes it takes
a little while. As you can see, it looks like
this background is white, but it's actually a
little bit gray gradient. So I want to remove
it to be able to place all of these
photos as I want them on format that is
suitable for Instagram reels. Now the background is removed. I tap the little checkmark, and here I have my image. I just want it on a
white background. But you could choose
to add a shadow. That might be really
cool. Actually. I will add a shadow and then I tap Share and save
to camera roll. Now I have saved that
image to camera roll with a white background instead
of this grayish background. I will show you how I
do this with batching, which I think is really cool. But I tap create batch and
then I tap all of the photos. Oops, I already did that one. I tap all of the photos that I want to remove
the background. And then I tap Add. This might take a little while. And then I tap slide
to remove background. And it removes the background on all of the photos at once. So for me, this app is really
cool and really efficient, I think is really fun to use. And it's a quick way, a shortcut to get cool
photos and remove the background of photos that have background
that you don't want. Attached shadow again,
because I think that it adds a little bit of
interests to the photos. And then I tap
Export, PNG or JPEG. J peg is a smaller size aside, we'll use that one and
then I tap Export. If you have the free version, you probably will get a
watermark on your images. But I have the paid version, so I don't get to watermark. You can just try this app out. It's not a must
to have this app. But if you ask me e.g. cell designs on
print-on-demand shops, then the mockup images have this kind of ugly backgrounds. And it can be good to
be able to use your MDS with transparent the
white background or to add another color
of your background. Okay, so here we have our new images with
removed background. Okay, so now that we
have our images ready, I will head into Instagram. And this is where
my next tip is. I've found this account is
called product real tips. There are also other
real tips accounts. And the thing that
I've found with these types of accounts is that they share kennel trending audio and they share real ideas. So you don't have to come
up with the idea yourself, which I feel really
saves me time. So if you scroll through this
different type of videos, you will see some
different real ideas. Let's just check some of them out so you can
see what I mean. Before, after, before. So here you find
some ideas for Rios. And if you tap into the real, you can see that it
says Use template and this is where
my tip comes in. So if you tap, use templates, as you can see, they already have the photos to this audio. So I would just turn down the
audio because it might be a little bit disturbing when
I talk at the same time. But as you can see here, they have already sink
the images to this audio. So now what you can do when you have tapped, used a template, you can tap into
these photos and choose which of your photos
that you want to add. Oops, I actually forgot that I need to change the
format of this. So I will head into Canva, my mistake and go in to instagram real but home and just tap Instagram story. Create blank. Here. I will tap Camera
Roll and I will start with adding
one of my photos, add two page, and I can
adjust the size here, so I will just tap and drag in the bottom right corner
and in the top left corner to place my photo on a white rectangle,
perfectly like this. Then what I do is that I tap the three little dots
and tap Grid view. That way I can see all of
my pages on a grid which I find it's easier sometimes
when I'm adding many pages. And then I tap
duplicate over here. And I tap into my page
on the image replaced, and then I tap another image. That way I get the same kind of size on that image as well, so that it fills up about the
same amount of this page. Duplicate the page again. And I do the same with
all of these images. Tap image, tap, replace. Then I do the same with
all of these images. So now I have a bunch, oops. I have a bunch of images here. I have nine. So that's fine. Then I tap the share download. And all pages. Png or JPEG. Best for sharing is deep eggs. I will just use JPEG and I
will just use these settings. And then I tap Save. And that saves the image
to my camera roll. And then I will hit back
to Instagram now again and tap that image
again, replace media. So if I tap into another
one of these photos, I can actually add
all of these at once. So I've just added
the wrapping paper. So I will just add these in an order that I feel looks good. Maybe something like that or
maybe the pillow over there. This one, that one. And then tap next and see what happens now it
says generating your real. If I scroll to the right, I see that I have a bunch
of empty spaces over here. You can choose to fill
them up with photos, or you can choose to just
short down your re-elect this. I think that this
looks pretty cool, but I will add some more to this just to fill
up these spots. Now I have the whole real
that was a template. So now I will just add the volume and
you can see how it looks. I think that that
looks really cool. So that's a really quick
way to create a real. Then I just tap next and next. And here you can
add the caption, you can add it to cover
and share it as a real.
9. Process Video - Gear: Okay, so in this lesson, I will show you my
set up for filming process videos and shorter
tutorials that I share on e.g. TikTok and YouTube shorts
and also Instagram. So basically what I do is that I feel most of
the time my iPad, I've done this in a
few different ways. Actually, one way that
I do spontaneously is just to film my
iPad while I draw, sitting in my sofa without any tripod and just
filming the screen. And actually one of those
rails that I filmed that way is one of my most popular
Rios on Instagram. So you don't need all
the fancy equipment. But if you do want to feel
a lot of these videos, and especially if you do want to film it from above
like I do here, it's good to have
some kind of tripod. So let's start with the tripod. I have this man
belly camera stand. It's four cameras. And I have a little
adapter here for my phone so that I can put my
phone in this little thing. But basically it's pretty
advanced cameras then as I create so much video
content in my business, I have invested in this. If someone is interested, it's the men barely MPT 284. So maybe you can
find that somewhere. I bought this a
couple of years ago, so I can't remember
where I bought it from. But What's good with this camera stand is
that it works like a regular tripod where this
arm goes straight down, but you can also fold it over. So then you get this
90 degrees angle. So that's really good for
filming these overhead shots. If you don't want to invest
in this fancy kind of tripod, you can do just have a basic
gorilla stand like this. This is from your way, is EOBs gorilla stamp. And what's really good
with this is that you can kind of squeeze
it around anything. So if you have another
kind of tripod or just some kind of thing
where you can put this on. You can film from this
overhead angle as well. Tripod. So I'm using this for like
Piero's and also when I filmed from the side like this. So you could also
choose to film in that angle with this tripod. Another alternative is to have this kind of just selfie
stick that I have here, which you can fold over it. You can get like a 90 degree
angle because they will show the foot of
this selfie stick. But it's still a really
cheap and good investment. And you can put it
on another tripod or something like that and put your phone in here to get
it to film overhead shots. There's also a bunch of other tripods and stamps
that you can buy on e.g. Amazon or something
like that that are very cheap that you can put on your desk and
film from above. I just want to mention though, that you don't absolutely need these tripods to
film this video. You could just hold your phone, but it's kind of hard to
hold your phone steady and at the same time do something
with your other hand. But actually one of my
most popular reals, I just filmed my iPad like this, drawing in my sofa really close. And then I edited a
few videos together. And I think that that really
has about 18,000 views. So it's one of my
most popular reals. So you don't need to
have overhead camera and overhead tripods to be able to film popular wheels
and short videos. Okay, so leaving the tripod, I always film nowadays
with my iPhone. I have an iPhone 13 Pro, which for me is a really good investment as I don't need to use my
heavy camera anymore. I feel all of my
content with my iPhone. Nowadays. You don't need to have
the iPhone 13 pro to be able to film
with your phone. You can have any other phone. And especially for these kind of videos that you will
share on social media. The resolution isn't super
high when you upload them. So it's okay if your video isn't super, super high-quality. At least that's what I think. You can feel. Your drawing, either
hand drawing or iPad drawing or any
kind of process, video like this overhead
on a nice table. Maybe you have a wooden table or marble or
something like that. I have a white table. So I have recently started to these colored papers
in the background. It's actually part
of my visual brand. Now, you could film with some prompts next to
the object that you film, or just keep it white
in the background. Try it out yourself and see how you want your
videos to look. So next is what I make
sure that I do is that I zoom in so that I don't show anything
of this whitespace. And I want my iPad to be the
size that I want it to be. In the final video. Maybe something like that. And I can just move
that a little bit and I make sure that it's
in the center. This is a little bit hard
to do with one hand, but you get the picture
so that I don't have any whitespace as I have
a colored paper here. And I make sure that my iPad, as that is what I'm filming, are taking up most of the
space in this format. Then I tap Record. The thing that I
make sure that I do before I hit record is to tap and hold to
lock the focus. Before I tap Record. That way, the focus would
be down here on my screen. And if I move my hand up, my hand will be blurry
because the focus won't change when I'm moving
something in the video. So I always want the
focus to be down here so that it doesn't go up and
forth when I move my hand. Now I'm recording this video. The very last thing
that you need to make sure that you have when you feel this kind of
short videos or actually any type
of video content is daylight from a window. That's the very basics of
filming video content. You need to have
direct daylight in order to get really good
lightning in your videos. So make sure that you
feel close by a window. That's it. When I film these
kind of short videos, I try to keep the
filming process as simple as possible that way. It's not that hard for me to
take all of the equipment, put it up, and just
start to fail. So next step is to
edit this video. And I will show
you how to create a really simple reveal kind
of video from this pattern. In the next step of this lesson.
10. Process Video - Filming: So in this lesson, I just wanted to show you that recorded video from my iPhone. This very short revealed video, I am just laying
one layer by layer. And I make sure that I remove my hands in between
so that I can cut out my hands and reveal will be kind of automatically
when I've edited the video. So this is one type of process
video that you can create. There are a bunch of different
ideas for process videos. And you can use what you
learn in this lesson about the filming gear and
also the editing to create all sorts of process
videos you could do like an erase and reveal video which you've probably
seen on Instagram. You could film your
whole drawing process and edit a speeded
up version of that. Although I just wanted to
mention that I do that once a month for my patron page, record the drawing
process video. And that is much more
time-consuming than to just record something that
you already drawn and rear-wheel it by
erasing it or like here, revealing the layers one by one. Because when you record
a drawing process video, you need to edit a lot more
to make it interesting. But go ahead and try out all of your ideas for process videos. And you can use the
gear lesson here, and you can use the
editing in Premiere Rush, which I will show you
in the next lesson to edit all sorts of
process videos.
11. Process Video - Editing: Okay, so now we will
head into Premiere Rush, which is the photo editing
app that I use on my phone when I edit videos that I've
taken with my phone camera. So Canva I use for like time lapses and art
work like that. But for me, Premiere
Rush is a bit better when it comes
to video editing. So I prefer to use that when it comes to these type of videos. I tap into Premiere Rush, tap the little plus symbol and tap Add Media, camera roll. And here I will just look to see where my
process video is. And then I will tap Create. Here I have my process video. If I swipe out, you will get a larger
editing place here, which I think is
easier when it's on the phone to have a little bit larger if you have like
smaller like this, It's very detailed where
to put cats and things. What I want to do with
this video now is to, first of all, I
want to take away the sound if there's any
sound in this video. So I will tap audio
down here and mute clip because I don't
want any sound on this. Then I will tap back here. And you could increase the
speed if you want to e.g. here, increase the speed if you want to do like a speedup video. But that's not what I want
to do in this type of video. So we'll just bring
it down to 100. Again. There's a bunch of settings here that you can
experiment with. What I wanted to show you
now is a quicker type of process video where ideas
kinda reveal the layers, the different motifs
in my drawing. Let's see where I start. I start around here where
I add the background. Maybe I want to start with
adding the background. So I go from somewhere
around here, I don't want my hands to show, so I will have the line over there and then I will swipe through right
to the scissor. And I will tap this part of
the video and tap the bin. And then I can just swipe to the right to see where I start. There are my fingers. I don't want my fingers there, so I will just tap the
scissor to cut that out. Then I want this part to
be the next of that video. So that way it shows like
every part of the process. I can make sure that
these parts are equally the same length. So probably around 1 s or so. So this is like 1 s. Here, I want around 2 s. And then I tap the scissor. There comes my hand again
and there goes my hand away. So I tap the scissor
to cut that out and then I tap the bin to delete it. So let me see. So it should be around 3 s here. And I tap the scissor. Here is the next part. So basically what I
do is that I cut up, cut off the part of the process where my
hands are showing. And I just want the
art work to be shown and how the artwork
is by its layers. So let's see how this
looks from the start. So now it looks pretty good. I'm not sure what I'm
adding over here, so I will just have this
part here as the end. This is a really short reel, but I kinda like that. There is the n. So
this is like 1 s 2, s 3 s 4 s 567. Let's try to keep it
at 3 s at the end. And then I will hit play
and see how it looks. That looks pretty good. I think it's a little
bit long in them, so I will just keep it at 2 s, so it stops at 45
and around six. Then I will cut with assessor and tap the band
to delete that part. Now I have this
process video ready. So that is how ISI, you can create this
type of process video. You can actually edit
all sorts of videos in Premiere Rush tutorials
and everything like that. But I will just
create this type of really simple process
video and I tap Export and it has saved
to my camera roll. The next step is to
go into Lightroom and add my preset so that
the colors will pop. So let's add the video. It's 6 s long, that's good. And without the preset, it looks like this. Then with the preset, Let's add the preset that
is included in this class. We can try the
different presets out. Some presets work better
with different environments. I think that for this video
studio booze three is good. You might be a little bit faded, but I think it
looks pretty good. The colors have popped. So we'll tap the check sign. And then I can go in
and see if I want to make some changes
here. I can do so. Maybe I want to decrease the highlights to make the
whites a little bit less. So you can adjust
the presets as well. If we feel that they are not
matching your surroundings, not matching your video
colors. I'm happy with this. And then I tap Export and
Export to camera roll. Now let's check out our video. This was the first version. It looks good, but
a little bit dull. And then this is
the version with the presets added. That
looks really cool. Okay, so that was
your finished video. You can of course, add music in Instagram when you
add it as a wheel.
12. Repurpose Your Videos: Okay, so in this lesson, I will show you how to
upload an reel to Instagram. I'm sure you already
know how to do that, but I will show you how
I do it very quickly. And then I will show you
how to re-purpose that real so that you can use it on TikTok and YouTube
shorts as well. So first we need to upload a real to be able to repurpose it. So let's pose real. Usually what I do is that I start with an audio
that I have saved. So I go to my saved audio and I know that I want to use this audio little bit a
pretty one on this video. I will tap use audio. I've already added my audio now. Then I will add my video
that I will use as a real. And I'm using this. I would just lower the volume. So that is not
that this therapy. And then I tap Add. I think that that looks good. I tap add. With this video. I don't want to add
anything on the video. No settings, no more
filters because I already added that and I don't want
any text on this video. So I will just tap snakes and
I can edit the cover here. Sometimes. You might want to
change to cover. I think that this is maybe
this one looks good, but I think that I will
keep the cover like this. I can tap profile grids so I
can see my cover. For now. I would just keep
the cover like that. Then I will write a caption. Just fast forward here
while I write the caption. And when I'm finished, I post this video and now it's posted and
it looks like this. Okay, So next step to repost this video on
TikTok and YouTube, I want to use the same sound. And if I would share this now, I think that my Instagram videos automatically are saved
on my camera roll. Yes. But they have the
Instagram stamp here. So if I wanted to share this without the Instagram watermark, I will go into Instagram, go to my profile, to the video, tap the three
little dots and tap link. That way I get the link to
this video copy to clipboard. And then I go into
snap in stat dot app. There's also one of
these for TikTok. I don't remember what
it's called now, but I will share these links in the description of this class. So you go into this
website and I have used it and it has
worked good for me. But I am not the creator
of this website. So I can say more than that. It's been working fine for me. But then I paste the link from Instagram
and I tap Download. This will download the video without the watermark
to my phone. There's a bunch of ads on
this website's not that nice, but I will just tap to close dose and then I tap
Download video. And download. And my video is downloaded
to my downloads folder. So if I tap the little
mark there to open up the Download and I
tap Share, say video. And there I have my
video on my camera roll with the music added without
the Instagram watermark. That way, I could
now go into TikTok, lower the volume and
tap, Add a video. I've recently started
my TikTok channel. Let's hope that it
will grow with time. And then I tap the
video, the volume. You can see that it's
the exact same video with the music without
Instagram watermark, and then I can tap Next
and share it here. I can also do the
same on YouTube. So I tap the little
plus sign and on YouTube, create a short. Here, I will add the video. Dan checkmark next. Any recommended details and posted on YouTube
shorts as well. So that is how you
re-purpose your Instagram or TikTok videos to the other
social media channels really quickly,
really efficient. You only need to create
one short video to share it in all of
these three channels.
