you have three consecutive scenes you can order them starting with the last one and to visually transform the content even further you can crop the clips such that they show less of the original video finally add text on the screen to explain specific moment for example when someone is offside there is a free kick and so on now hit export and you're done export at 1080p 60fps for that highquality look we have our video but the work's not done yet there's still SEO to handle this part is crucial if you want your videos to be
