🤯 Is Tiktok Broken?

🤯 Is Tiktok Broken? How My 12-Second Video Got 120,000 Views on Facebook but Only 4,000 on Tiktok 📱

It was 2 AM, and I lay in bed, my eyes wide open, unable to sleep. 😵‍💫As I tossed and turned, I realized that I was wasting precious time and energy. So, I decided to make the most of my insomnia and meticulously edit a video on my phone. 

EDIT

After an hour of focused concentration, I had transformed my footage into a captivating 12-second video. Satisfied with my creation, I drifted off to sleep, feeling a sense of accomplishment.

PUBLISH

The next morning, I eagerly published my video on my social media channels. It was a Saturday morning, and I was curious to see how my creation would be received.

ANALYZE

To my surprise, the views started to climb quickly, especially on Facebook. By the end of the day, the video had garnered an impressive 120,000 views on Facebook, far surpassing the 14,000 views on Instagram and 11,000 views on YouTube. 

Tiktok, however, was a different story. The video received a mere 4,000 views on the platform, leaving me puzzled. Why was it performing so poorly on Tiktok, a platform known for its viral content? 

IS THAT YOU

Several factors could explain the disparity in views across platforms. Here is one of my theories... The catchy title and a humorous caption. My theory is that viewers on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube read titles and captions, while TikTok viewers do not. If that is you, comment "yes". 

Whatever the reason, the results were clear. My sleepless night edit had become a hit on Facebook while struggling to gain traction on TikTok. The world of social media is a complex and ever-changing landscape, and it's fascinating to observe how content performs across different platforms. 

Oh, wait... Could it be that I tagged the brand of the shoes I was wearing in the video? They did not sponsor me by the way. 😄

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.

FCPX - The storage device "Macintosh HD" is almost full

The message "The storage device Macintosh HD is almost full" appeared when I was editing a video with Final Cut Pro X on my new Apple Macbook Air M1.   Final Cut Pro Taking up Too Much Space  My Macbook Air M1 had only 256GB of storage onboard. My raw footage was only about 9GB. The biggest file was the FCPX project files itself at about 140GB! How did 9GB become 140GB? There is not enough disk space for my Final Cut Pro. Why Is Final Cut Pro Taking up So Much Storage Final Cut Pro renders files in high-quality media so that we can playback our edits smoothly direct from the timeline.  It creates multiple HUGE high-quality files of our footage in the background.   It is a good thing, so as to maintain high-quality final edited video, BUT not a good thing for a laptop with only 256GB. How to Clear Disk Space on Final Cut Pro The question is how to delete the rendered files in FCPX? 1. Select the library in FCPX...  2. Go to Files > Delete Generated L...
