Loved the relatable/real life moment at the end, the whole "see you next time... I have no clue what that's gonna look like 😅"
Thanks for another video Claire!

[@Contentclaire_ity]

I'm so glad you enjoyed that! I try to keep it real and honestly, I didn't like the framing on the end but instead of re-filming, I decided to make a thing of it haha

[@MindofSmoothie]

I definitely need to revisit and re-record my channel trailer. As always, thanks for the tips!

[@Contentclaire_ity]

I need to as well! I didn't completely follow my own advice haha

Whoowho, Cleare! Another video to watch. Just getting started here! Oh, I'm so going to use that intro! Been watching vidiq today. Intros are important.Ut oh, volume is bouncing up and down. 3:50 question, answer- This intro was better. 7:14 I'm sticking with you. 8:30 Sound issue! Love the video! Going to work those tips into my videos, for sure. Good job!

[@Contentclaire_ity]

Good to hear you enjoyed it! Since I'm finally a little ahead on editing, I am taking more time to learn about the audio levels with my new microphone and editing system which will help immensely! Can't wait to hear how these tips help you! 😊

[@richardhyatt-beekeeping]

@@Contentclaire_ity What did you get for a microphone and why? And, the new editing system? Editing is a challenge. I turned 80 today. That's a challenge, too.

[@Contentclaire_ity]

What?! Happy birthday! that is an accomplishment and I hope you celebrated!
I got one of the most popular lavaliere microphones on Amazon because I saw so many people using it and I wanted to try it out for myself. I was using Final Cut Pro but now I'm trying- and enjoying- CapCut.
