In this video I'm breaking down my edit of a short form vertical video I made for TikTok, Reels & YouTube Shorts. This video went viral on TIkTok and has nearly 1 million views. It's all about me finding an Apple iPod Hi-Fi at the thrift store and getting it cleaned up and tested. Why did this video strike a chord with people? What tools did I use in the edit to enhance the experience of the story? Let's take a close look at some of the creative decisions as well as the technical ones to see how it all came together in Final Cut Pro.
