  • Start on the payoff or the question. The first second decides everything.
  • Cut dead air from the start and end of every clip with the Video Trimmer.
  • Mute the original audio and use a trending sound for the beat.
  • End on a frame that loops back to the start so replays count.
  • Keep important action in the center. Captions and buttons cover the edges.
