However, if you miss the most essential part, editing, you won\u2019t get many views.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest mistake newbie vloggers make is to just turn on the camera, record, and upload the video thinking people will really like it.<\/p>\n<p>But the truth is, no matter how interesting your video may be, if you don\u2019t give some time into editing, it won\u2019t be enjoyable enough. So, let&#8217;s learn a few tips to edit your vlog like a pro!<\/p>\n<h4>#1: Use Text in Your Video<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11927\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/text_effect_01-300x157.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"157\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/text_effect_01-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/text_effect_01.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s really very necessary to use text in your video, as it is something that can really make your vlog stand out from the rest.<\/p>\n<p>Many people don\u2019t make use of text in their videos because they don\u2019t know how to make proper use of them in the video, but the text can have a huge impact on the viewer and make them feel much more attracted and invested in your vlog.<\/p>\n<h4>#2: Don\u2019t Forget to Make Use of Images<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11925\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bigstock-Camera-Photography-Design-Stud-134325440-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bigstock-Camera-Photography-Design-Stud-134325440-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bigstock-Camera-Photography-Design-Stud-134325440-449x300.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bigstock-Camera-Photography-Design-Stud-134325440-505x337.jpg 505w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bigstock-Camera-Photography-Design-Stud-134325440-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/bigstock-Camera-Photography-Design-Stud-134325440.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Very often, vloggers show entire vlogs of themselves just talking and don\u2019t even include a single example of what they are talking about. Using an image is an excellent way to explain a point with an example and help the viewer to connect better.<\/p>\n<h4>#3: Don\u2019t Be Afraid to Cut<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11937\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_20200828_160640-300x117.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_20200828_160640-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_20200828_160640-600x233.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/IMG_20200828_160640.jpg 798w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Another mistake that most newbie vloggers make is making very long videos. While there are some vlogs that need extra time so that, a point can be explained properly, always remember that viewers have very short attention spans and wouldn\u2019t wait all day long for you to make your point.<\/p>\n<p>Hence, If you want to have a shorter video, don\u2019t be afraid to cut it.<\/p>\n<h4>#4: Use Audio (A Lot)<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11923\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393-449x337.jpg 449w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Gear-Headphones-1178171393.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you have ever noticed a video that had a lot of silence in it, you can very well understand how dreadful that silence can be and how quickly you can lose your interest in what\u2019s being said.<\/p>\n<p>And you surely don\u2019t want your viewers to feel the same way you when you release a vlog, so it\u2019s very essential to eliminate the silence from your video.<\/p>\n<h4>#5: Don\u2019t Forget Your Voice<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11922\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/usb-microphones-lowres-0036-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/usb-microphones-lowres-0036-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/usb-microphones-lowres-0036-450x300.jpg 450w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/usb-microphones-lowres-0036-506x337.jpg 506w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/usb-microphones-lowres-0036-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/usb-microphones-lowres-0036.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While making sure to add background music or noises to your vlog so that your viewers don\u2019t have to deal with dead air, you still got to make sure that they are able to hear you when you\u2019re talking.<\/p>\n<p>This simply means that when you start to talk, don\u2019t forget to lower the background music so that it doesn\u2019t suppress your voice.<\/p>\n<h4>#6: Play with Time<\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11921\" src=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dst5-300x200.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dst5-300x200.gif 300w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dst5-1024x682.gif 1024w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dst5-1536x1024.gif 1536w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dst5-450x300.gif 450w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dst5-506x337.gif 506w, https:\/\/www.creatorshala.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/dst5-600x400.gif 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you are preparing a video about something that might take hours or maybe days of recording.

Or even to slow them down if you feel your viewers might struggle to see something that occurs rapidly.<\/p>\n<p>This will enable you to show the viewer how long you had to wait for something without them actually having to wait for that entire time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vlogs are an excellent way to express yourself and connect with your audience.
