10 Essential Tips for Creating Engaging Social Media Videos

Michael Chen
Creative Director — Falhen Media

Learn the secrets to creating scroll-stopping social media content that captures attention and drives engagement.

Social media video is the most competitive creative arena in existence. You have less than two seconds to prevent a thumb from scrolling past your content.

1. Lead With the Payoff

Traditional storytelling builds to a climax. Social video inverts this. Your most compelling moment goes in the first three seconds.

2. Design for Silent Viewing

Over 70% of social video is watched without sound. If your video only works with audio, it is already failing most of your audience.
