I've helped 100+ creators monetize over 5 years with audiences from 1K to 10M and, the ones building real revenue aren't always the biggest, they just stopped waiting for permission. I break this down in The Lie That's Costing Creators Millions (what waiting is costing you) ↓

For the #contraseedancechallenge have you been able to make a full 30s video using the free 5k credits? Or is it just not enough so you have to basically pay to compete in a "contest" I also see there's a capcut-creators-program so wonder if that gives enough resources to really make something more than a toy with no chance.

Back in January we worked with Kyan Health on their brand awareness video.

The metric I care about is Average View Duration which is 74%. Views tell you distribution worked. Watch time tells you the story worked.

The rule: time spent on the problem should never be less than time spent on the product. Most videos get this backwards. They open with what they built, and lose people in five seconds.

None of this is a motion design decision. It's a sequencing decision, made in a storyboard, weeks earlier.
