It is one year I have been active on YouTube interviewing founders.
With each episode, I do some f**k up. But never mind.
Even when you are about to do something in the future, learn from my mistakes. š
Those mistakes in my interviews:
š The spoken word is on mono instead of stereo.
š Too loud background audio effects.
š Too many visual effects.
You can also acquire it for your product promo video e.g. for the launch.
Additional things to product video (specifically when you want to promote product):
š¦ Show the product in use in the video.
š© Show face to create a human connection (aligning with persona).
ā
Along with that explain benefits/positive results for the user.
You can find me on YouTube if you would like to learn more about some good founders' tips. š (see comment)

@busmark_w_nika Subscribed. :)
BTW, what tool do you use for edits? I am currently using DeScript.

@rohanrecommends Thank you! :) Do you mean for editing? I am fully in CapCut, for creating thumbnails Photopea + Figma. That's probably all what I use for editing :)

@sonu_goswami2 Thank you Sonu :)
You are right. Sound is even more important than video quality. A video with good audio and a low resolution is more likely to be watched than a video with top image quality but poor audio.
Some other tips that might help:
š¹ Use more than one angle for your shots
š” Watch a tutorial on proper lighting (key light, fill light, back light)
āļø Really cut out all uhm's and ehm's and pauses
As a creator, you are fighting for every millisecond of the viewer's attention span.

@federico_zuluaga_knorr All of those are pretty valid. Now, my space doesn't offer me to have more cameras (angles) but I would go for this, or at least, when I have an interview, there is a guest to "have those more shots".
Thanks for sharin :)

@yatheen_brahma You are welcome :)
It's a small detail, but so important when you want to make your video sound right.

First 5 sec. of any video should be the most flashy and engaging part of the video.
gives viewers enough intrigue to keep watching.
Wow, the loud background effects are such a killer!

@johnnie_kuvalis audio is crucial, we do not fake it :D

Such good advice! Those small details like mono sound and too much background noise can totally ruin an otherwise awesome video
