Great tips on color grading and creating engaging intros! It's incredible how small details can elevate a video. Been dabbling with boost app social to add some flair to my vids & socials. It's kinda like having an editing swiss army knife, super useful for anyone looking to spice up their content across platforms.

I love this!!! I needed tips 🫶🏼 how long does it take to edit?

For this video did you make the video first or record the voice over first? How did you know what to say, do you write a script/vision board before filming/editing?
