If you recorded audio separately:

✅ Step 6: Add Smooth Transitions

Use minimal professional transitions:

Recommended:

• Dip to Black/White (topic change)

• Slide / Push (screen-to-camera switch)

For screen recordings:

• Use zoom-in/zoom-out transitions (clean tutorial effect)

---

Examples:

• Step numbers

• Buttons (“Click Here”, “Open Settings”)

• Titles

Text Style:

• Font: Poppins / Montserrat

• Animation: Fade in, slide up

Add on Track 4.

✅ Step 8: Add Background Music

• Volume: –25 dB (soft)

• Fade in (1.5 sec)

Use a loop-friendly music track.

---

✅ Step 9: Color Correction

Apply to both talking clip & screen recording.

Talking Clip:

• Brightness +10

• White balance fix (Warm/Cool)

Screen Recording:

Keep tutorial colors clean and natural.
