5 Easy Ways to Elevate Your Videos

#4 will save you literal hours

The quickest way to make your videos stand out?

Infuse them with your personality!

🎬 Timeless Truth: Your audience is there to connect with you, not a too-polished version of what you think videos should be.

Here are five fun and easy ways to add more of yourself to every edit, making your content instantly more magnetic and watchable!

1. Keep the Bloopers 🙊

Bloopers are sometimes my favorite part of a movie.

Don’t cut out those moments where you mess up! Those candid moments are what make you human and help your audience connect with you on a deeper level.

Your audience craves authenticity, and bloopers are an easy way to make your videos feel more genuine and fun.

2. Include Things That Make You, You 🥪

This one’s simple but so TRUE.

I used to always talk about how I couldn’t wait to order Jimmy John’s after filming. It’s random, I know, but it became a thing that people anticipated. Maybe you have a favorite snack or a weird habit — mention it!

These little personal touches are like Easter eggs that your audience will start to look forward to.

3. Use Music You Love 🎶

Music sets the entire tone and pace of your video and gives people a peek into your taste.

Choose music that you genuinely enjoy. Whether it’s a montage sequence or background music, pick tracks that resonate with you.

When the music matches your vibe, it enhances the whole experience and makes your content feel more “you.”

ps. Artlist.io is BY FAR my favorite music for videos — has been for years!

4. Develop a Repeatable Editing Style 🎬

Find editing elements that you love… and stick with them.

Choose a specific font, color palette, or a transition that you use in every video. The key here is consistency — when you use the same elements repeatedly, they become part of your signature style.

Plus, you’ll also notice you’re saving a lot of time editing by using the same elements over and over!

5. Let Your Signature Style Shine ✨

Now that you have developed your signature style, the best way to infuse personality into your edits is to do what you think looks cool!

Don’t edit just how you think videos “should” be edited; edit in a way that feels true to you. Iconic creators like Emma Chamberlain and Liza Koshy blew up because they cut their videos in a way that felt unique to them.
