Does Size Matter? Social Media Video Specs for 2021

Are you confused about the ever-changing video specs on major social media channels?

In this post, we’ll break them down for you so that you can maximise your video content.

Hannah gives three tips for making videoing yourself easier. I can vouch for the gorilla pod because that’s what I use. :) 

And I loved these lines from Hannah:

I know, watching yourself on video is almost as uncomfortable as listening to your own voice on your outgoing voicemail message. (Ugh. I do NOT sound like that in real life.) But once you get used to hating those pants and wondering why you ever thought that haircut was a good idea… you’ll start to see things in your training that can really help push you forward!

Moving From📹VIDEO to 📷Photography!

6 Thing to keep in mind:

1️⃣ Shutter Speed

2️⃣ Portrait Mode

3️⃣ Lighting

4️⃣ ISO

5️⃣ Image Resolution

yes! actually, i do!

TIP 1. Make What You Wanna Watch - if you like music, make music, if you like watching vlogs, make vlogs - if you want to watch it, chances are someone else does too

TIP 2. Use An Audience That Already Exists - if you make music, cover songs. if you make vlogs, mention another youtuber, if you do art, make an artwork based off a fandom of some sort

TIP 3. Be Creative - make something new, that other people won’t have seen before. even if you’re doing something lots of people have done, put your own spin on it, make it yours

TIP 4. Don’t Expect Success - the best way to keep making things and actually enjoy yourself is to assume that you’re channel will never grow. pretend it is only for you. because at the end of the day, it is for you. and you should be happy because you made a good video, not because of the views you get!

I hope this helped friend. This may not be how to make a successful channel but this is what I do and I love it! I haven’t gained any subscribers in like the past six months but I’ve made some cool videos that I’m really proud of and I personally think it’s better like this ^_^

Good luck, pal! I hope this was helpful even in the slightest!

It seems that almost every other week there is a new social media platform being launched. The obvious thing to do might be to open an account for each one. More platforms equals more reach, right?

Unfortunately, this is not the case. Think about your own social media use, for example. You’re unlikely to be on more than a handful of different platforms. But you will have your favourites nonetheless, where you and others like you will follow certain brands and enjoy consuming particular types of content.

As a business owner, there is no need to post on every single channel. Instead, try a more targeted approach. Here are a few questions to determine the best social channel for your video content, and why they are important questions to ask.
