Part 3 Top Tips for an Aesthetic Yet Powerful Portfolio Video

Now, we'll take you through the top tips on how to make a fantastic portfolio video.

01. Be thoughtful about what you want to include in your portfolio video.

- Avoid adding everything you've ever created to your portfolio video. Select only your strongest pieces to showcase your most unique and creative work.

02. Stay current; keep your portfolio hip and trendy.

- You know that trends and technology change quickly, and you don't want your portfolio video to look dated. So remember, don't include materials that are more than three years old.

03. Make your pieces in the portfolio video flow nicely.

- To avoid making your viewers' eyes jump around when they watch your portfolio video, make sure your pieces flow nicely. (Adding transition effects to your video is a great way to make it flow smoothly.)

04. Get a second opinion from others.

- Before you finalize your portfolio video, you'd better get another set of eyes on it. Go for someone else's opinion. FlexClip offers a convenient collaboration tool allowing you to invite the collaborators to your team and let them make more adjustments.

05. Include a strong CTA.

- It's wise to have a strong call to action at the end of your portfolio video that tells people what you'd like them to do next. Check out our post on How to Add CTA Overlay to Your Video to include one in your portfolio video.
