How do I find audio for my video?
On both TikTok and Instagram, you may save audio you like that you come across while scrolling through your feed, or you can search for different audio while making your video. You can use any audio you want for your end of year recap video, but I prefer to use audio directly related to the theme.
Is Adobe Premiere Pro hard to use?
Premiere Pro is definitely more for intermediate to advanced editors. I know how to use Premiere Pro on a basic level, but when I have trouble I always turn to YouTube for some editing help. If you’re new to editing, I recommend editing in TikTok or Instagram.
Should I post my recap to TikTok or Instagram?
Whichever you prefer. I tend to use TikTok more for video purposes, but if you prefer Reels, posting an end-of-year recap is easy to do.
