How I Prioritized My Tasks and Went Live on TikTok

 The Challenge of Prioritizing Tasks...

I woke up this morning feeling overwhelmed. I had a lot of tasks on my plate, and I wasn't sure where to start. I had several overdue sponsored product reviews, one review video that was halfway done, and a daily CapCut video editing tutorial to create. I also hadn't been live streaming for almost a week.

When I go live, it's usually about sharing my knowledge about CapCut video editing with my audience.

I was hesitant to go live because I was afraid that the sponsors of the product reviews would complain that I wasn't spending time on their products.

But then I thought about it, and I realized that my followers on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube grew exponentially because of my CapCut video editing tutorials. The sponsors come to me because of the number of followers I have, and they are engaged followers. And live streaming is a powerful way to engage them even further.

So I decided to go live while creating the next CapCut video editing tutorial. It was a great decision!

During the live stream, I am thankful for three things:

1. A viewer asked me to provide a live-streaming setup consultation.

2. Another viewer asked me to provide a TikTok Shop creator consultation.

3. A strong supporter shared with me about a new TikTok monetization feature.

It took me two hours to complete the CapCut video editing tutorial, and one hour spent answering viewers' questions. I streamed on TikTok only using my iPhone in dual camera mode.

Going forward, you might see me live streaming more often while I go behind the scenes to do my content creation. I've found that it's a great way to engage with my audience, get feedback, and learn new things.

What I Learned

I learned a few things from this experience:

- It's important to prioritize your tasks. Not everything is equally important, so it's important to focus on the tasks that will have the biggest impact.

- Live streaming is a powerful way to engage with your audience. It's a great way to share your knowledge, get feedback, and build relationships.

- Live Streaming is a two-way communication. I was hesitant to go live because I was afraid of what the sponsors would think. But in the end, I'm glad I did because I received some business requests and learned about a new monetization feature. 

Do you find live streaming to be an effective way to engage with your audience? Why or why not?

Macbook Air M1 Case

I bought a transparent case for my MacBook Air M1 . It came with a free screen protector, a keyboard cover, and some rubber plugs to cover the ports. Check it out! https://youtu.be/d-wALSd3nn8 I didn't expect the rubber plugs. It was a nice surprise. The case fits snuggly, with access to all the ports. The keyboard cover is almost invisible to the eye. I have no intention to use the screen protector. Why? I need to see the true color of the display for my YouTube videos. ~ Adrian Lee  @Adrian Video Image  The video was recorded on iPhone 12 Pro Max with Filmic Pro app in 4K 60fps and edited with Capcut.

Sony Vegas Pro 8 makes it easier to edit videos from different cameras right from the timeline. You can capture and edit video for a single scene from 2 or more cameras or for a single scene shot a few times with one camera. Here is a tutorial of a Multicamera Edit of a drama I shot. The drama was acted out four times to the public and being a non-profit organization, the client have budget only for one videographer. For each of the 4 acts, the camcorder (Sony HDR-FX7 High Definition Camcorder) was placed at 4 different positions and shot in various angles. Multicamera edit is accomplished in only 8 steps with the Sony Vegas Pro 8. Step #1: Capture Multicamera Video Clips Use the normal Sony Vegas Video Capture function to capture recordings from each camera. Give each capture filename a unique name.
