Hello! This video is getting a lot more views, thank you all for the kind words. Since then, I’ve changed how I edit my videos and no longer use the Filmm+ app and now edit on the computer using Adobe Premiere Pro. Let me know if you’d like to see and updated video :))

[@geetikarao7952]

yessss!

[@stacy9312]

yesss, same!!

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

Yes plz😅

[@delishtaste7722]

I want to see updated video pleaseee 😣 i really donno how to edit with Adobe Premiere Pro 😭

[@kendalljennerx1848]

i need to know why the quality of my tiktoks are so bad after ive uploaded them

[@Stewie101Griffen]

this video was more informative than my last semester of social media marketing lol

[@crystalmar.s]

Indeed

[@TheCMCW]

Hahahahahhahaha😂 very funny

[@thinnthuzarhtet4823]

I am dying here 😂

[@bluebarker4741]

proves that education is not that worth it anymore, although you still need it for validation ans getting jobs, now its just a subscription to get a job more than to learn what they teach

[@sweetcreature21]

Lol yes

[@BTG413]

I haaaate having to market myself. I just want to make weird and unnerving art. Thank you for making the process easier. ❤

[@srishyy_animatic]

That's good to hear ❤

[@natismyname8789]

Whats your socials?

[@427skies]

💖✨ Katie thanks so much for this video! I’m so overwhelmed with how much content I need to create AND also be a full time artist

[@milacruz3970]

I feel you 🥲

[@kwajoblak]

Same here 🤦‍♂️

[@cloaksandghosts]

girl I subbed before you even said it - this video is so good, so plain and simple, I got what I came looking for and I appreciate that. plus you have really warm vibes ❤️🌸 enjoyed watching

[@mariamedrano9808]

this was so helpful, for such a long time the process of sharing my artwork online has seemed so daunting. This helps bring the buzz in my head to a lower volume. i appreciate the honesty you provide in your videos because i can get easily sidetracked by both my fears and idealist ways. thank you for being so honest and willing to share your tips with us 🥰🥰🥰

[@boipeyton]

Thank you so much for this! It’s easy to overlook the time that goes into not only the content you’re talking about, but also the content you’re talking about! You are awesome.

[@miguel9070]

Omg I love everything about this video. The colors, the vibe, the music. It's so soothing ❤

[@Mo_rena-ch2pu]

[@leboleope5142]

I started making reels this week and I'm struggling in the instagram app so it's nice to know that there are other editing options out there! I love your art corner btw!

[@lauraaquiattractiveactions]

In this video I noticed the way you have stored your paint tubes this is really clever, I liked that, I never would of thought of that hanging them on a board upside down it looks so neat and tidy and yet you can see all of the paint tubes well laid out. I am a first time watcher I clicked this for this video information, you seem nice and very personable. Thanks Laura in Liverpool uk
