Yes, my name is Claudia Moncarz, and I'm a tax attorney. I help business owners get out of trouble with the IRS.
I think we've been using our YouTube channel for a few years, and the whole purpose is just to educate people, because I know tax law and IRS are scary for people.
We actually started with shorts videos this year. We started a podcast, and we wanted to just take snippets of the podcast and put them on Instagram and YouTube.
Our podcast is long form content on YouTube that is usually 5-20 minutes. I think short videos can send the viewers to long videos and get them interested. That's why we started with short videos.
Yes, we tried to do that, but it takes a lot of my time. So what we would do is write the script and create short videos with stock footage and b-roll. But it didn't look too good.
Then we tried to hire vendors on Fiverr or other platforms, but the process was super long, I had to try like five different vendors to get one good clip. Besides, it was not a quick turnaround. I have to first find the right moments in the videos for them, and then wait for them to cut the videos. And then I found OpusClip, and I was fascinated, because I can just upload the video and it gives me different options, and the clips that I post always get like 300 views. It's not a crazy number, but for legal channels, it's a lot.
For vendor, it usually take about 2 to 3 days, and a lot of times I have to tell them which moments I want to clip, which parts I think should be re-edited. But with OpusClip, it takes within half an hour, sometimes even less. I can just upload my videos, and then go do something else, and come back to get cilps.
It saves my time. I can do my podcast in the morning, get clips that afternoon, and upload them on the same day. It speeds up my business.
