Part 3/8:
The success of a short largely depends on the quality and virality of the clip itself. Here are four recommended platforms for sourcing trending clips:
Reddit: The go-to source for various viral content feeds. Using subreddit themes like “SLV videos” or “funny videos” allows you to discover engaging content.
X (formerly Twitter): A rich source for real-time trending clips and creative ideas.
Instagram & Facebook: Particularly useful for older demographics, these platforms also house a wealth of shareable content.
Homemade Videos: Always opt for user-generated content shot on smartphones to avoid copyright issues.
The ideal clip should be at least 720p quality, contain shocking or unexpected moments, and be at least 45 to 60 seconds long for better retention.
