A simple surprising credibility boost for your video marketing

by Steven Washer on August 27, 2013

A lot of people don’t use music in their Coach videos because they’re unsure of how to do it. Too many use music wrong, wrong, wrong.

Here’s the right way to open your videos so that you get an instant subconscious credibility boost.

The sound cut out at :48 – oh dear! Is it me or a glitch in the video? I want to hear this one, too.

Yes, I too was bummed to lose audio right at the beginning! Techno-glitch…hope you can fix it soon, Steve, I too was anxious to hear this one. Thanks!

Wow. Thanks for the alert. I’m re-encoding and will have the new one up shortly. Sorry!

Thanks Steve, for another great, informative video!
(The sound now nicely fades at about :58-9, so I guess I heard the video later 🙂 )
The message really got home listening to the video a second time – where I was being more attentive to the sound transitions…

Yep. YouTube totally messed up the encode when I uploaded the video, so we’re using Vimeo today.

It’s good to have a Plan B, but it’s better to test, isn’t it? ;(

Great work, Steve. So I guess it’s important to upload to Vimeo too? I still have never done any video *editing* or adding music… more learning curves looming ahead But I’d like to make that a goal since I love, love, love being creative in any ways I can! I love all your tutorials – the most fun for the info!

You don’t have to upload to Vimeo. You could just check your work before blasting it out to the world! :))

Editing can be lots of fun and very, very creative.

Very, very creative is an understatement – when it comes to YOUR editing!!

This video was so well done! I really appreciate the examples at the beginning showing incorrect & correct transitions with the music. They were subtle AND made such a big difference! Thanks, Steve.

It’s kind of amazing how the little things become very important. That’s why whenever I hear “don’t sweat the small stuff” I worry that people will take it too literally. In video, it’s almost all about the small stuff!
