Trend #1: An authentic timelapse that connects with people
👥 For: Producers, Musicians, DJs, Vocalists
✅ How to do it: Create a timelapse of yourself making music, DJing, or singing (put your phone on a tripod or something steady). Edit together a few clips of the video. Add music and a text hook like the one below.
🪝 Hook: "pov: you're [describe yourself], making [describe the vibe/moment you're making]."

Trend #2: A funny way to get people vibing to your music
👥 For: Producers, Musicians, Vocalists
✅ How to do it: Film yourself from two different angles, pretending to be two different versions of yourself (put your phone on a tripod or something steady). Wear some sunglasses, headphones, etc. once the drop/chorus of the song starts. Create FX like the ones in the video inside an editor like CapCut. Add music and a text hook like the one below.
