Honest Product Review: Why I'm Sharing My Disappointment (and Unexpected Sales!)

Ever bought something that promised the moon but delivered… well, not even a crater? 😅 I've been there!

As a content creator, I get to try out a lot of products. Some are amazing, some are just okay, and then there are the ones that make you wonder, "Did they even test this thing?"

Recently, I reviewed a product that fell squarely into the "disappointment" category.

It didn't live up to its advertising claims, and I made sure to point out all the discrepancies in my review video.

Now, usually, if a product is truly bad, I'll just post the review on one platform and call it a day.

I figure it's not worth promoting something I wouldn't recommend to my own family and friends.

BUT here's the crazy part: this video has been generating sales! I was completely shocked. People are actually buying this thing despite my honest review.

This experience has taught me a valuable lesson.

Even negative reviews can drive sales. It seems people appreciate honesty and transparency, even if it means hearing about a product's flaws. Perhaps they're buying it knowing its limitations, or maybe they're just curious to see if their experience will be different.

Whatever the reason, it's a reminder that authenticity is key, and that sometimes, the most unexpected things can happen.

So, because of this surprising turn of events, I've decided to share my honest review across all my platforms. I believe in giving you the full picture, warts and all.

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.

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...
