Hi Tommy. Love your advise. Extremely helpful. Please keep up the good work!! Quick question. What is the best way to add animated text in my vides? Currently I'm just using powerpoint. Also, is there any guidance you can give when it comes to adding infographics and text into a video? Much appreciated!!
Thank you! I appreciate alot that you took the time to watch the video! Well, powerpoint is great (I have a mac so I use Keynote) for text animations. If I use that, i usually screenrecord my presentation so i het a video and then insert and cut in the editing software. I think adding the infographics and text to the video is dependant on the editing software. Capcut has free transcription so it automatically can do text for the whole video with AI. But I mainly use final cut, so there is free included effects like adding text to video. Then i just manually write the line i want. Infographics is also a final cut plugin (effect), i just manually write the content it shows, i dont recall where i got it from, but there are free plugins to install for every software i believe. I found many free plugins for final cut just searching on youtube, many content creators have links for them in their videos. Then if you want to pay for a a monthly subscription alot of people use atleast envato or motion array to get all the necessary plugins and effects i believe. I dont want to pay at this point myself so i just use free ones i found from youtube videos. Just search for instance free plugins for final cut on youtube but search for your software. Hopefully this was helpful for you. Thank you once again!
Such a detailed and comprehensive response. Thank you so much Tommy. I use PowerDirector 365 so will have to look for a plug in. Hopefully one day you can make a video on how you do the text animations in your videos 😅
Hi, thanks for the info. A little question: i have my Sony ZV-E10 that i use to record talking head videos. The focus is set as you said but i get little 'blurry' moments when i record. Whenever i move a bit towards the camera, i get this BLURRY effect on my face. I hate it so much. Does this mean that i cannot move when i record talking head videos? Thanks
Hi! Thanks for watching, I appreciate it alot! You might want to try spot focus instead of wide focus area I think. Do you have the eye tracking on? (The little white box in your eye). If you have that on, it usually helps alot also. Also make sure you have enough light in your setup. BUT moving closer to the camera and getting blurry face, that is something I havent stumbled upon, usually it is the other way around. I think all camera/lens configurations have their limits, like minimum distance focus. I think zv10 with sigma 16 it is about 30cm/1 feet. Check all possible settings on the camera and experiment what works best for you! You definitely can move and should be able to move when recording talking head videos.

You are welcome! Thanks for the video idea, that might actually be a good idea. I will look into it.
