I originally intended to read the spontaneous human combustion story aloud in a video. But - as you’ll see - I got exasperated by how long speaking takes. Text is a much more efficient way to deliver dense information. To make my initial footage useful, I thought I’d show you a feature in Captions.ai (one of the alternatives to CapCut I’m still exploring). They have AI-generated templates to make videos dynamic. I applied one here, without further alteration. Personally, I don’t like it at all for my video. There’s too much whooshing and colorful distraction. It gives me oversaturated YouTube tutorial vibes. But I can see how a template like this could be useful and convenient for a different type of video. In the comments, I’ll also share the plain video with simple captions only for comparison. Let me know if you want to see more of these feature explorations in apps.

very cool to x-compare. how much does it cost to use? def interesting for trialing out short format edits I couldn’t be bothered to create. FYI there seems to be an evolving YT meta that favours less “whooshing” and more authentic talking heads that uses the zoom’s and whooshes extremely strategically.

I am currently trying out the Pro plan. It's possible the Max plan would enable less tacky editing. Really like the rejection against over-edited videos lately. But with all things, I'm sure these aesthetic trends are pendulums which we'll see swing back and forth in our lifetimes.

exactly. tell the story that needs to be told and use what makes sense in support of telling that story. i don’t think over editing is bad especially if the moment calls for it.
