How to reduce the weight of short video editing and secondary creation?

Secondary creation can give new life to the original work, and can also make the creator become famous overnight by taking advantage of the popularity of the original work. This article takes the secondary creation of short videos on Douyin as an example and analyzes more than a dozen practical methods to reduce the weight, so that you can easily gain traffic benefits. I hope it will be helpful to video secondary creators who want to reduce the weight.

Hello, fellow villagers. I am the village chief.

How can we effectively avoid duplication of official judgments when re-creating short video content?

As the secondary creation of various short videos can earn income, a large number of accounts have emerged to carry various works.

At the same time, there are some product shooting plots that are highly similar. This will be judged as duplicate by the system and cannot be recommended as original or get official traffic.

If we want to gain traffic revenue from the various domestic and international film and television drama commentary accounts, overseas documentaries, and other content that we commonly see, we must solve this problem.

Otherwise, after spending most of the time searching for materials and editing, it will be judged by the authorities as suspected of duplication or high similarity, which would not be worth it.

There are many effective ways to remove duplication in the secondary creation of short videos. Today, the village chief will share the following dozen contents with you.

Everyone should judge whether to use all of them based on the video's source, length, popularity, etc.

1. Material Content

First of all, from the perspective of finding materials or account positioning, it is recommended that you try to find some unpopular content.

For example, if everyone is editing Japanese and Korean TV series, then you can edit Vietnamese and Thai TV series.

Everyone is editing science fiction and war movies, so you can edit Japanese fresh love stories.

2. Addition, subtraction and duplication of content

The most direct way to remove duplication is to add more video content.

For example, if someone else’s content is 15 minutes long, you can divide it into 5-minute segments and shoot 3 episodes.

You can also further streamline the content so that a story can be told in 5 minutes.

The premise is that you have a complete understanding of the content as a whole.

3. Content Track Change and Deduplication

The speed of some content can be adjusted, such as 1.2x speed, 1.5x speed, etc.

In addition, as long as it does not affect the viewing of the content, you can adjust the brightness, saturation, light sensitivity and other parameters of the video image.

4. Ghosting Deduplication

This is a great trick, and is actually more suitable for original image content.

For example, after uploading a few pictures, set the transparency of the pictures to around 1 or 2.

It is invisible to the human eye, but can be seen by machines.

5. Music Deduplication

If there is music in the video, you can remove the background music.

Then change to your own new music and adjust the music's paragraphs, duration and volume.

6. Mix and remove duplicates

Don't cut the content as it is, you can put some exciting content at the beginning of the video.

You can also put some important and funny content in the video multiple times.

At the same time, if others have one story, one character, or one scene in one video, you can make some combinations.

7. Subtitle watermark

Although the work you transferred has its own subtitles, it is still recommended that you replace it with your own subtitles.

Optimize the subtitles in terms of color, size, font, length, etc.

In addition, you can remove the watermark of the original video and then overwrite it with your own watermark.

8. Adjust the size

The original video materials we see may be of various types, including 16:9, 4:3 and so on.

Even if the size is exactly the same as what I want to clip, we can adjust the content or the size of our canvas appropriately.

Of course, if the size is the same, we can also set the content structure of the video ourselves.

9. Heading and tailing content

Although the core of the video is in the middle, the content at the beginning and end cannot be ignored.

The beginning and end of your video, the golden three seconds, are different from others. For example, the commentary, music, plot, etc. can all make a difference.

10. Image Deduplication

For some short videos, the video content is only about one minute, so the mirroring method can be used.

Adjust the angle of the video. We often use this when watching news videos.

In the same video, the protagonist of one video uses his left hand to make a phone call, while the protagonist of the other uses his right hand to make a phone call. This is the work using mirroring to flip the picture.

11. Frame rate deduplication

It is also helpful to make some appropriate adjustments to the clarity of the video, especially to improve the unclear content.

12. Special effects deduplication

If it’s the exact same content, you’d want to publish it, too.

In addition to the methods mentioned above, you can also split the picture and then add some transition effects.

13. Explanation of Deduplication

The most effective way to avoid video repetition is actually commentary.

Based on my own understanding of the content, I re-arranged it after adding, deleting and combining it, and added my own views and ideas.

Everyone has different accounts of the story that happened in a video.

Everyone has different ways of expressing the plot of a movie.

Of course, you can also change the timbre of your own music while you are giving the commentary.

The above are some of the most commonly used deduplication methods for film and television editing numbers when conducting secondary creation of works.

There are some other special methods or tools, which we will share with you later.
