About this work

A 2019 tutorial about turning longer YouTube films into short portrait videos for Instagram. Kraig demonstrates his Final Cut X export workflow, then looks at storytelling in a smaller frame: choosing one idea, pairing footage with narration and music, and adding simple text. Examples show how he condensed travel films and vlogs into one-minute pieces. The video includes a Storyblocks sponsorship.
