Waterfall videos are probably one of the most challenging categories of landscape videos in terms of filming and editing. A wet and slippery environment and the loud noise of the falling water make it extremely hard to catch the ideal picture.
The next stage is post-production, which, basically, can either ruin the magic of the place captured or else turn the raw footage into a magnificent waterfall video. In this guide, we’ll introduce the most efficient editing hacks that can help you add the finishing touches to your waterfall video, making it eye-catching and professional-like.
Let’s get it started!

#1 Invest in the High-Quality Hardware & Software
The first thing that comes when capturing a stunning video of any waterfall is planning how the shooting will be performed. For sure, you should consider in advance the equipment you need for every specific case, understanding the waterfall characteristics, landscape specifics, camera, and other related gadgets that can simplify the shooting process.
Typically, the core things you’ll need for getting high-quality waterfall video footage include a camera, sturdy tripod, a set of lenses, and neutral density filters to get different shots from various perspectives.

#2 Shoot the Footage From Different Perspectives & Angles
The most common mistake newbies do when shooting a waterfall video is using single-perspective footage for the entire video. Once viewers see the static picture and nothing changes (except for the water falling effect), they become bored and are more likely to close the video tab as a result.
To make the videos more eye-catching, try filming the waterfall from different angles and perspectives, capturing 10 to 15 seconds per footage. Also, opt for a dynamic shooting method to diversify the static footage and enhance the visual of your video.

#3 Choose the Right Music for Your Waterfall Video
Though visuals play a key role in waterfall videos, it’s also great to enhance this type of video with sounds or certain music. Usually, it’s selected depending on the main concept of your video and the message you want to deliver to your audience.
According to our experience, the music used for waterfall videos is mostly pleasant and calming, sometimes – inspiring and energetic to help the audience better dive into the environment they observe. It’s also worth mentioning, that the music can be chosen in both major and minor scales, thus enlarging the range for the core concept selection.

#4 Play Around the Transitions and Colors
With the considerable number of footage included, choosing the relevant and style-matching transitions can significantly strengthen the impression of the video in your audience. Similar to the color filters, it’s recommended to confine yourself with a few (up to 3) transition options that are organically implemented into the video concept.
As for the color palette, it’s better not to treat this without too much fanaticism: in most cases, the natural color combinations are the most winning ones to play around with. However, even those can be strengthened with the right post-production visual settings. For example, by adjusting the saturation and brightness.

#5 Don’t Remove the Falling Water Sounds
Finally, instead of getting rid of the water sound completely and replacing it with the custom background music, it’ll be even more effective to consider the ways for its efficient implementation instead. Discover the music that will be the best fit for each video or even its footage, cut and trim to make it ideally match the visual part of your waterfall video – and you’ll surely get into the top trending online!
