The #1 reason people quit making videos?

It takes too damn long.

You sit down to create a Short, and suddenly you're:

• You’re 30 tabs deep into YouTube tutorials.

• You’re googling “best export settings for Instagram.”

• You’re staring at an unfinished video, wondering if it’s even worth it.

By the time you're done, you've spent half a day on a 60-second clip—and at that pace, it's impossible to stay consistent.

So you quit.

The good news?

You Don’t Need To Spend 8+ Hours Shooting A Short

Everyone knows a better process leads to better results.

But the reason you don’t have a good process yet isn’t because you’re lazy or undisciplined.

It’s because there are too many tools to choose from.

So you try them all… and realize none of them do everything perfectly.

That’s just life.

But what actually works isn’t finding some all-in-one magic tool—it’s knowing which tool to use for which problem. And more importantly, knowing exactly how to use it—without wasting hours figuring it out yourself.

Let me show you two that will save you hours starting today.
