Trend #1: An authentic timelapse that connects with people

👥 For: Producers, Musicians, DJs, Vocalists

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.
