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.

in the meantime don’t be me: slaving away at artisanal video editing like a 1700s manual weaver
