If you want to do an edited 1 minute vid instead of a walk around do 10, 6 second shots, then wack them into iMovie and edit, once you're in the swing each video shouldn't take more than 20mins

 You'll get the hang of it I'm sure!

EPV recommended some great Video tips to me.

The Gimbal I have given up on (mind of its own) but the editing software is brilliant (Movavi).

iMovie is simple and straightforward. Customers just want a brutally honest description / appraisal.

Mine don’t. 

They just want a very nice car that looks very nice in a nice edited photo and sometimes video. 

The only brutal thing they ever really want is a divorce lawyer.

Nik, you are a video novice. I’m really glad now you’ve now finally taken my advice to embrace videos... hopefully my help will sell you more cars, listen and learn.

No. 

I did try, the views were low and it makes little difference. Haven’t done any in weeks. 

It’s all in the images for me. 

Brutally effective. 

Whatever it takes :-)

It was poor because you were poor. People buy from people, you need to gain a personality and sell yourself first... then features and benefits... basic stuff really 

[Nick M.K. 574]

More people bought from me than from you this month. As long that trend continues in the near future I will take small satisfaction from that. 

I’ll take it from here.

Well, that's because I haven't been working and I own my own stock. I'm solvent, I'm not a bitch to a third party stocking loan company dictating running/controlling my business

Lol, I was going to say I thought it was you! a lot of the guys on here said you were the best at pictures, what camera do you use because they are excellent images.

I'll actually do a new post on unit stocking to address some common misconceptions that have been spread on this forum by people with limited knowledge and zero experience on the subject.
