How To Make VIRAL Podcast Clip Videos! (12.5k Followers In 5 Days)
Howto & Style
Introduction
Over the past few months, I've managed to grow a faceless TikTok page to over 70,000 followers, accumulating millions of views primarily through viral podcast clip videos. In this article, I’ll provide you with a step-by-step tutorial on creating similar videos for free, using just your phone or laptop. If you stick around until the end, I'll share how my latest video performed and how much I earned through the TikTok Creativity Program.
Step 1: Choose an Editing Software
The first essential step is to select an editing software. For this tutorial, I will use CapCut, a free editing software. If you're on your laptop or your computer, consider using the web version of CapCut, as it may run more smoothly than the application version.
Step 2: Find Clips and Video Ideas
When seeking viral clips for your content, curate your feed by liking and commenting on videos related to your niche. This engagement will signal to TikTok that you want to see more of this content, making it easier to find ideas. Save promising clips for later, be it through liking, bookmarking, or sending them to yourself directly via DMs.
To find specific podcast clips, remember names and settings. Use YouTube to locate the desired podcast episode, then employ the YouTube Transcript tool to search specific phrases. This eliminates the need to watch the entire episode before finding your desired segment.
Step 3: Create Your Video in CapCut
Begin by opening CapCut and creating a new project. Upload the clips you've screen recorded, and start editing:
- Crop Out Fluff: Trim unnecessary sections to keep the content punchy.
- Adjust Aspect Ratio: Set your video to a TikTok-friendly 9:16 aspect ratio.
- Organize Clips: Make sure your video starts with the hook—the most gripping clip to capture attention immediately.
Step 4: Add an Adjustment Layer
Once your clips are organized, apply an adjustment layer over all clips to maintain consistency. Adjust settings like brightness, contrast, and shadows based on your video’s mood. Experiment with these values until they align with the style you desire.
Step 5: Text and Captions
You can use either automatic captions or simple text overlays like "Real" to convey your message succinctly. If using automatic captions, position them strategically on the screen to avoid covering essential visual elements.
Step 6: Choose Background Music
Select background music that fits the vibe of your video. Ensure that it doesn’t overpower spoken content but instead enhances the emotional impact of the message. Use CapCut’s audio settings to find the right balance.
Step 7: Add the Final Touches
Use your logo and a relevant quote at the end of the video to create a connection with your audience. This gives a personal touch and can help make a case for monetization through creativity programs.
Step 8: Export & Upload
For exporting, use 1080p resolution at 30 FPS. After exporting, transfer the video to your phone, as posting from a mobile device tends to yield better results on TikTok.
Once uploaded, utilize relevant hashtags and caption your video effectively to engage your target audience while following best practices gleaned from analyzing similar videos.
Conclusion
By following these steps, you can produce impactful podcast clip videos for TikTok and potentially replicate my success in growing your own follower base.
