Take the time to fine-tune your vlog’s introductory hook and confirm that it snags attention. Before moving on, run through the footage to make sure your narrative flows in chronological order.
Get creative with cuts and transitions.
Use a professional-grade video editing program to add transitions between clips, fade content in and out, and generally guide viewers through your vlog. Many vloggers also use creative cuts as a way to make their videos more entertaining to watch. With a video editing application like Adobe Premiere Pro, you can easily add in:
- Jump cuts
