Eklipse Success Story

Having an easy, efficient, and feature-rich tool is essential to boost your productivity as a streamer. This is what Eklipse aims for! Today, we’re gonna serve you with some user success stories while using Eklipse as their preferred clip maker.

We do understand that being a streamer means investing time for creating content (especially in the editing process), and playing games (if you are a gamer) to enhance your gaming skills. Of course, it will consume a high amount of time.

But this experience by a Twitch streamer known as @BlackOpsWarBear will definitely open your eyes on how Eklipse can come in handy to let our streamers have sometime to chill and relax while it does the magic. Without any more waiting, let’s read his take on this.

About The Streamer

Eklipse Success Story

Recently, we’ve got the opportunity to have a nice talk with Chris Olivo a.k.a @BlackOpsWarBear, who is a big gamer and PvE Esports Streamer on Twitch.

He’s currently a Twitch Affiliate and focuses on Call of Duty for streaming. However, he also plays other genres sometimes, like RPG, horror, or sports.

He’s basically a growing streamer on Twitch with a lot of work to create content to attract audiences. In order to achieve his dream as a successful streamer, he tried Eklipse to capture the most epic moment of their gameplay. Turned out, he loved it! Continue reading to see his impression of Eklipse.

The Struggles @BlackOpsWarBear Faces As A Streamer

Well, growing a channel is a lot of work to do. Going live is not enough if you don’t create quality content. Other than that, it won’t be easy as well to reach a wider audience without posting the content to other social media. 

According to @BlackOpsWarBear, he is facing a difficult balancing act, as he tries to stream his gameplay while also dedicating time to perfecting the edits before posting them on social media.

You know, both activities are really consuming minutes and hours, making it pretty difficult to keep productive in the limited time.

“….when I play Call of Duty Warzone or Modern Warfare, it seizes me to one hour, two hours“.

Due to this circumstance, we can assume that using manual editing software will be so ineffective. That’s why he seems to be so relieved when he found Eklipse. Additionally, he started using Eklipse on March 2022. That’s a pretty long time, though.

How Eklipse Helps @BlackOpsWarBear In Producing Content

You know, it’s so thrilling to hear some positive reactions from our users. According to the interview with our amazing streamer, we can summarize some good points that make him quite satisfied. 

1. Easy To Use

One of the best features we can provide on Eklipse is ease of use. Yep, this tool is undoubtedly designed for both beginners and professional streamers. The first time you go to the website, you’ll figure that it has a very intuitive interface.

@BlackOpsWarBear stated that he loves it when the AI smoothly clips the epic moments of his gameplay in seconds.

2. Increase The Productivity

BlackOpsWarBear admitted that Eklipse is an amazing AI tool, and probably one of the best clip makers he had ever used in his streaming journey. He, BlackOpsWarBear, also expresses his appreciation for the aid Eklipse provided in increasing the amount of content he was able to create from his streams.

It definitely increases my productivity. Just go to the website, download it, and boom! Let’s upload it!

Well, yeah. We are not overclaiming that we are superb – but the fact shows that we are. Eklipse allows users to simply copy-paste the URL link of the video, or import directly from the local device. After that, let the AI handles the rest for you.

What’s more interesting is, now you can save more and more time by using our Premium Edit feature. Head over to our previous article to know more about Eklipse Premium Edit Feature.

3. Precisely Captures The Moment

@eklipsegg

In addition, another thing he likes about Eklipse is its capability of capturing moments precisely and automatically.

It’s extremely awesome! It records everything that you wanted to record. Nothing more, nothing less..If I get really good high-kill games, it records every single kill for the number of seconds that you like it too!

BlackOpsWarBear

Yes, true. Eklipse always knows what you need and what you’re expecting. Just leave it to us and say bye to manual editing!

4. Rise The Likes Number

Aside from helping streamers to create more content in a shorter time, Eklipse also brings a significant impact on the likes number on social media.

Again, BlackOpsWarBear stated that he got more likes on the video he edited using Eklipse due to the quality of the video. We often witness that a clip video might have two seconds gap in the transition on each part of the video. But Eklipse can provide a clip with very smooth transitions, making it beautifully played on.

“Some videos get more likes because it has very smooth transitions. It goes right with the video,” said BlackOpsWarBear.

Streamers’ Feedbacks for Eklipse

We know we have the ability to make a real difference in the content creation process, but there’s always room for improvement. That’s why we value your feedback so highly. It helps us continue to enhance our offering and make it the best it can be. 

When it comes to suggestions, BlackOpsWarBear didn’t say much except about the loading screen. “Sometimes the loading times might take a long time out of his internet connection,” he explained. “But overall…the product is good. Wonderful“.

We do appreciate the feedback from BlackOpsWarBear and all of you guys. So now we are constantly striving to make our tool even more fantastic for streamers. 

Conclusion

We’re so glad that we have got a special chance to talk with the amazing BlackOpsWarBears. From our talk, we can confidently say that Eklipse is quite helpful for streamers, especially when it comes to the editing process.

We will keep developing our tool and system to serve you better. Just keep your eyes on us and don’t miss out on anything about Eklipse!

Instagram reels are one of the best features of Instagram due to their potential to go viral. Reels are one of the best tools to manipulate the algorithm in your favor. What does this mean? You can make full use of the Instagram algorithm to maximize audience engagement. You might be wondering how it’s possible. In today’s article, we will tell you how to crack the Instagram reels algorithm.

Knowing how to manipulate the algorithm in your favor is a huge advantage for anyone who wants to grow their fan following on Instagram. Knowing how the algorithm works will also benefit you on other social media platforms such as TikTok, Facebook, and YouTube. Here’s how you can crack the algorithm.

What is an Algorithm?

Source: Free Code Camp

An algorithm refers to a set of instructions for completing certain tasks or solving problems. It’s the way backend programmers have programmed a certain application to work. You might have noticed that social media platforms such as YouTube recommend certain applications while ignoring others. This is thanks to the algorithm. Learning how the algorithm works will allow you to make videos with viral potential.

How Does the Instagram Reels Algorithm Work in 2023?

Source: Sixads

The Instagram algorithm is somewhat of a mystery as normal people don’t know what’s going on behind their screens. However, we can learn a lot from the experience of popular Insta users and from Instagram itself. In a recent post, Instagram confirmed that the algorithm will deprioritize content that is recycled from other apps.

Low-quality videos also rank lower on the algorithm. This is understandable and makes a lot of sense. Talking about reels, videos with logos and watermarks from other apps are less visible on the reels. This means that low-quality content and recycled content will garner fewer views. Instagram took this action to prevent influencers from cross-promoting their videos from other apps on Instagram. Instagram also confirmed that funny, entertaining, and interesting content will be more visible on people’s feeds.

Besides that, here’s how Instagram algorithm ranks reels that may come in handy for you:

  • Reel information – Instagram uses various factors, such as audio tracks and popularity, to determine the relevance and ranking of videos. This helps to ensure that users are shown relevant content.
  • User activity – Instagram examines the Reels the users’ have recently engaged with to determine the content that would be most relevant to them.
  • Interaction history – Instagram may show users videos from accounts that they are not familiar with, but if they have interacted with those accounts previously, it helps Instagram to gauge the users’ level of interest in the content.
  • Information about the creator – Instagram’s algorithm aims to provide equal opportunities for all creators, including smaller accounts and new creators, to reach a larger audience through Reels. Popularity of videos is a significant factor in the algorithm to show content from a diverse group of people.

What Else Can Impact Feed Post Ranking on Instagram?

After knowing the reason why do some reels get more views than others, now is the time to breakdown what things that affect users’ feed post ranking on Instagram.

You can use the insightful information below to improve your understanding:

  • Information regarding the post – Instagram uses various metrics to evaluate the popularity of a post, such as the number of likes, as well as other factors like the timing of the post, the duration of videos, and the location tagged in the post.
  • Information about the poster – Instagram uses various signals to determine the importance of a person to the user, such as the frequency of interactions and the recency of those interactions. Additionally, it looks at the user’s activity, such as their history of liking posts and engagement with certain types of content, to understand their interests and preferences.
  • Interaction history – Instagram examines user behavior to understand their general interest in content from a specific user. This includes analyzing signals such as commenting on the user’s posts and whether the user also interacts with the user’s posts.

How to Crack the Instagram Reels Algorithm?

Here’s how you can manipulate the algorithm in your favor according to Instagram:

  • Post reels that are entertaining (having funny content and attention-grabbing)
  • Post reels that are inspiring (for instance: your fitness journey)
  • Use text, effects, and filters
  • Use music from Instagram’s library or one that you own
  • Make videos on vertical screen

In addition to this, you should avoid posting reels that are:

  • Low-quality
  • Recycled from other apps
  • Against Instagram’s community guidelines
  • Made with a border around them

By following these tips, you will be able to create Instagram reels that engage the maximum number of audiences. Don’t be afraid to be experimental as it will help you learn more about what works and what doesn’t. For now, knowing what to do and what not to do is a great start for anyone.

Conclusion

So that’s how you crack Instagram’s algorithm. Want a powerful tool that can make the process easier for you? Eklipse’s advanced AI will pick the best moments from your gaming stream and turn them into high-quality videos. You can also use Eklipse for editing your video.

TikTok has taken over the world by storm. TikTok has the potential to go viral on every social media platform due to its unique content. Want to create unique TikToks that go viral on the internet? Follow our guide on how to edit TikTok videos. Editing TikTok is all about adding smooth effects and keeping everything easier to follow for the audience.

In today’s guide, we will tell you how you can add captions, effects, transitions, add music to your video, and make colleagues. Learning editing techniques will upgrade your TikTok content to a new height. So without further ado, let’s begin the guide.

How to edit TikTok videos?

Here are the following tips when you’re editing your TikTok videos.

1. Editing videos from your camera roll

You can record your videos from the TikTok app or use a pre-recorded video from the camera roll and edit them using TikTok. To add a video from your gallery, tap the “plus” button at the bottom of the app to make a new TikTok. Now press the square button that says upload in the bottom right corner of the app.

You can select multiple videos and photos from your gallery to combine into a new TikTok. Once you have selected your preferred clips and photos, you can start editing your new TikTok.

2. Adding captions to your video

Adding captions to your TikTok video is very straightforward. Once you have uploaded or recorded a video, tap the “text” button in the top right corner of the app. Now you can type whatever caption you want. You can also select whatever font, background, outline, or text alignment you prefer.

Once you have written your caption, press “done” in the top right corner to exit the text mode. You can make the text smaller by using your two fingers and also dragging it somewhere else. You can tap on the caption again for further editing. For instance, TikTok allows you to set the duration of the text and add a text-to-speech effect on the caption.

You’ll have different voice options to select from when adding the text-to-speech effect to your caption. If you wish to remove the caption, you can just drag it to the dustbin icon at the top of the app. You can also transcribe your voice in TikTok by pressing the captions button on the top right corner of the app.

3. Adding transitions to your video  

When it comes to transitions, you can either use the built-in transitions that TikTok provides or create your own. The latter offers much more creativity and versatility. To create your own transitions in TikTok, switch to “camera” mode. This will allow you to record more videos. To create a transition effect, end your first video with the first half of your transition effect.

Now, start your second video with the second half of your transition effect. Now your transition effect is complete. Once you have added all the clips you wanted to add, tap the checkmark. TikTok will combine everything into a new clip. You can tap the “adjust clip” to align your videos and ensure they have a smooth flow to them.

1. Adding effects when recording

How to make slow-motion videos?

You can add slow motion to your entire video or just a section of your video. Here’s a way to do both:

1. Adding slow motion to the entire video

To add the slow-motion effect to your entire video,  press the “speed” button when you are recording with the app. You’ll see the following list:

  • 0.3x
  • 0.5x

Select the video speed you prefer. If you are recording the video with your camera roll, use the timer button on the bottom right side of the app.

2. Adding slow motion to a section of the video

If you want to add slow motion to just a section of the video, use the “effects” button. There you will find a “time”  option. Scroll to the slow-mo effect and add it to a portion of your video. Hold the effect for as long as you want it to apply to the video.
