Edits: Video Editor Video maker from Instagram
You want your content to take off, the secret is simple. Make it feel elevated without overdoing it. So let me show you how to use masking inside edits. Open the edits app and import your video. The trick with masking is movement. So type out your text, place it where you want it, and export that clip. Add an overlay of your original video, the one without the best. Tap rank, choose split, and rotate it so it's vertical. Now watch closely. Wherever the text appears, add a key frame on your overlay. Slowly move it along as you no, adding more key frames and adjusting the mask until the text is fully revealed. And that's it. Super clean, super elevated, and makes your hook hit instantly.
