How to Make Yourself Look Like a Giant Dropping a Car with This CapCut Trick

Do you want to make a fun and engaging video where you look like a giant dropping a car? With CapCut, it’s easy to do! Just follow these steps:

  • First, record yourself pretending to drop a car that is already there, then drive away the car.

  • Open CapCut and start a new project. Select the recording and tap on Add.

  • Move the timeline forward to the part where there is no car. Select the clip and do a Split.

  • Select the first split portion and choose Overlay.

  • Copy the overlay and drag it down under the original.

  • Move the timeline forward where the car is supposed to have dropped. Split the second overlay at that point.

  • Select the first split portion. Choose Cutout, Customized Cutout, and Brush. Paint over the car.

  • Go to the end of this clip and add a keyframe.

  • Move backward to the point where the car is supposed to start dropping. Reposition and rotate the car to fit your hand.

  • Select the first overlay. Choose Cutout and Remove Background.

Lensgo Smoke B Review – Portable Fog Machine for Video Production – Creating Smoke Effects

One of the coolest effects you can add to your videos is smoke. Smoke can create a dramatic atmosphere, enhance the lighting, or add some mystery to your scenes. However, creating smoke effects can be challenging if you don’t have the right equipment.

That’s why I was excited to try out this portable fog machine from Lensgo. It’s called Smoke B and it’s a handheld device that can produce smoke on demand. It’s battery-powered, rechargeable, and wireless. It comes with a remote control that lets you adjust the smoke output and duration.

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.

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.
