Defeating Dissidence: A Guide for Content Makers

How To Deal with YouTube Trolls and Negative Comments

Richard Bennett

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions

If you have put a lot of work into your YouTube videos then it only makes sense that you have an emotional investment in them. When someone leaves a mean, negative comment on one of your videos it will likely affect you. It may make you angry, hurt your feelings, or just leave you baffled over how someone could come away from your video with out-of-the-blue opinion the hater has posted. ‘Do not feed the trolls’ is a mantra that can be hard to abide by. This article will explain why you should not engage trolls and how to talk to them if you find yourself doing it anyways.

How to Deal with Negative Comments on YouTube

1. Identifying Trolls / When Is A Troll Not a Troll?

The internet is full of trolls and if you continue making YouTube videos – especially videos that get a lot of views – then you are sure to be attacked by a few. Or, alternatively, a troll may attack your other viewers in the comments of your videos. It is extremely easy to be a troll and so there are a lot of them.

Most trolls are easy to spot. They leave comments designed to hurt you or make you angry, often using over-the-top offensive language. Not all trolls are so obvious, though. Some trolls will be nice at first – flatteringly nice, even – and it will take a few comments before they turn on you or your subscribers. They want you to like them so you put more stock in what they are saying later and take longer to start ignoring them. Some trolls will even go back to being nice to reel you back in.

It is important to remember that not everybody who leaves negative comments on YouTube videos is a troll. Step back from your emotional reaction to a comment and make sure there is really nothing constructive in it before you dismiss it. Some people have nasty ways of expressing legitimate opinions, and sometimes even when there is no decipherable meaning behind a rude comment the person is not trying to troll you. Some people just have poor communication skills. For example, if someone leaves a comment on your video that consists of only the word ‘bad’ you cannot know for sure what they meant. It could be that they are agreeing with something you mentioned disliking in the video.

2. Why You Shouldn’t Talk To Trolls

Trolls are bored and looking for attention. When you respond, they win. You may think you are demonstrating to them that they were out of line, or logically proving them wrong, but the troll does not care. Your outraged responses are what trolls want and will only entertain them.

Also, trolls do not care if they are wrong. They almost always seem to think that their opinions are the only ones that count for anything, but quite often their opinions are not even their real opinions. Chances are they do not actually believe anything they are saying to you they just know what to say to make you mad. Remember that you will always be more invested in any interaction you have with a troll than they are. For them it is a game and they cannot lose because they do not really care. If you take the bait it’s fun, and if you do not then they will move on to a target that will. Even if you put hours of effort into chasing off a troll and manage to make them go away they will have enjoyed the whole thing and you will be left exhausted.

3. But If You Do…

While you should avoid talking to trolls, sometimes you cannot. Trolls occasionally start off making kind comments or asking legitimate questions to lure you in. You might be a couple comments into a conversation before a troll reveals their true colors.

There are also times when you respond even though you know you should not because you just cannot let a specific rude comment go unanswered. It is easy to say you should never feed the trolls, but a lot of people cannot help it. If you find yourself engaging a troll there are a few things you can do to try and manage the situation.

First, avoid using any emotional language; they love that. Keep your responses either pleasantly detached or dry and factual. Say what you feel you need to say and ask the troll for more information. If the troll has made a false claim then ask them for evidence as if you are genuinely interested in learning more. It is highly unlikely they will be able to provide any, although they may make something up. If the troll has made a blanket statement about how terrible they think you are then pretend you either value their input or find them funny and ask them to explain. They will either leave or respond with more insults.

You will not get the troll to say they were wrong or apologize so that should never be your goal. What you can do is create a public record of the troll being corrected for others to judge for themselves. If you maintain a calm, unaffected, tone then the troll will find you boring.

Twinkling Typefaces: The Essence of Bouncy Text

How to Create Animated Bouncing Text

Liza Brown

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions

Earlier, you learned how to have a bounce text effect in Adobe After Effects . However, because AE is a complex application and has a steep learning curve, this section explains the two alternative ways to get the same effect on your existing video footage.

Method 1: How to Create Bouncing Text in Filmora Video Editor?

When talking about Wondershare Filmora , the application is populated with several presets for texts and titles, animations, effects, filters, and much more.

These pre-built templates not only make your task easier, they also save your decent amount of time that you would spend while working with After Effects or any other similar app that requires you to build things from scratch.

You can follow the instructions given below to add animated bounce text to any of your video footages with Filmora:

Step 1: Add a Footage to Timeline

Launch Wondershare Filmora on your Windows or Mac PC. By default, the aspect ratio of the project is set to 16:9. Click anywhere inside the Media window at the upper-left section, and select and import footage you want to add bounce text to.

Step 2: Insert Text and Add Bounce Effect

Click Titles from the standard toolbar at the top, and click and drag your preferred title template from the Library to the timeline. In case you don’t want any specific animation or style on the title, you can use the default title.

In the timeline, double-click the title you just added, use the upper-left section to edit the text, go to the Animation tab from the left pane, scroll down the list, and double-click the Up Down 1 or Up Down 2 preset to apply the bounce effect to the credits. Click OK to save the changes and to get back to the main window.

Step 3: Add Shake Filters

Go to Effects from the standard toolbar, expand the Filters category from the left pane, and click Shake. From the Library window, click and drag your preferred shake filter to the timeline. Here, I will choose Mild.

You can customize the default effect by double-clicking the shake filter in the timeline, using the sliders in the upper-left area of the interface to make necessary adjustments, and then clicking OK to save the changes and to get back to the previous interface.

Step 4: Export the Final Output

Click EXPORT from the top of the interface, go to the Local tab in the Export box, choose your preferred output format from the list in the left, make required customizations from the right pane, and click EXPORT from the bottom-right corner to export the video.

Now, you can add the bouncing text video and the background video to the timeline, and then place the bouncing text video above the background video track.

Double click the text track, go to the Chroma Key effect, select the Color Picker tool, and click anywhere in the Preview window to get things right. Finally, export the entire project to your preferred output format as explained in Step 4.

As explained before, Wondeshare Filmora makes the entire process of creating and adding bounce text effect pretty simple. With all the pre-build templates, and the versatility of the options that can be used to customize those presets, you can come up with the effects that are usually obtained when you start generating them from the scratch.

Method 2: Generate Animated Bouncing Texts Online

If you don’t want any heavy and resource-intensive app on your PC merely for some special text effects, you can try any of the online solutions instead. The benefit of using any such web app is that all the processing is done on site’s server, and it is only a web browser and an Internet connection that you need to have at your side.

Some most trusted websites to generate bounce text are listed below:

1. ENGFTO

Website: https://engfto.com/index/create%5Fanimated%5Fbouncing%5Ftext/0-26

You can follow the instructions given below to use Engfto to generate bouncing text for your footages:

Step 1: Get to the Animated Bouncing Text Page

Launch your favorite web browser, and go to the link given above to get to the Engfto’s animated bouncing text page.

Step 2: Customize Text and Preferences

Modify the values in the fields under the SIZE AREA and TEXT sections to customize the text area, the text itself, its size, and font. Next, adjust the values in the fields under the EFFECT PARAMETERS section to get the required bounce effect. Also, use the fields under the BACKGROUND section to either change the background color, or pick a background image from your PC.

Step 3: Obtain the Animated Text

Click the SAVE GIF ANIMATION button from the lower section of the page to download the animated text to your PC.

2. Loading.io

The instructions given below explain how to use Loading.io to get animated bounce text effect for your footages:

Step 1: Get to the Loading.io Webpage

Launch your favorite web browser and go to https://loading.io/animation/text/ .

Step 2: Customize the Text and Choose Animation Effect

Use the options available on the webpage to type your text, and change its font, color, background, transparency level etc. Select Bounce (or any of its variants) from the Animation drop-down list, and adjust the speed using the Speed slider.

Step 3: Obtain the Text

Click your preferred option from next to the Download As section to download the animated text to your PC.

Note: Regardless of the web solution you choose to generate and obtain animated bounce text, you will still need a post-production tool to add the downloaded text to your footage.

Conclusion

Generating bounce text effect is much simpler when you use Wondershare Filmora or any of the online solutions as explained in Method 2. While the former gives you more flexibility when it comes to customizations, the latter doesn’t require any app to be installed on your PC. In addition, many times the web apps offer their services for free, and therefore they are preferred by the novice users who are not much into post-production processes.

Earlier, you learned how to have a bounce text effect in Adobe After Effects . However, because AE is a complex application and has a steep learning curve, this section explains the two alternative ways to get the same effect on your existing video footage.

Method 1: How to Create Bouncing Text in Filmora Video Editor?

When talking about Wondershare Filmora , the application is populated with several presets for texts and titles, animations, effects, filters, and much more.

These pre-built templates not only make your task easier, they also save your decent amount of time that you would spend while working with After Effects or any other similar app that requires you to build things from scratch.

You can follow the instructions given below to add animated bounce text to any of your video footages with Filmora:

Step 1: Add a Footage to Timeline

Launch Wondershare Filmora on your Windows or Mac PC. By default, the aspect ratio of the project is set to 16:9. Click anywhere inside the Media window at the upper-left section, and select and import footage you want to add bounce text to.

Step 2: Insert Text and Add Bounce Effect

Click Titles from the standard toolbar at the top, and click and drag your preferred title template from the Library to the timeline. In case you don’t want any specific animation or style on the title, you can use the default title.

In the timeline, double-click the title you just added, use the upper-left section to edit the text, go to the Animation tab from the left pane, scroll down the list, and double-click the Up Down 1 or Up Down 2 preset to apply the bounce effect to the credits. Click OK to save the changes and to get back to the main window.

Step 3: Add Shake Filters

Go to Effects from the standard toolbar, expand the Filters category from the left pane, and click Shake. From the Library window, click and drag your preferred shake filter to the timeline. Here, I will choose Mild.

You can customize the default effect by double-clicking the shake filter in the timeline, using the sliders in the upper-left area of the interface to make necessary adjustments, and then clicking OK to save the changes and to get back to the previous interface.

Step 4: Export the Final Output

Click EXPORT from the top of the interface, go to the Local tab in the Export box, choose your preferred output format from the list in the left, make required customizations from the right pane, and click EXPORT from the bottom-right corner to export the video.

Now, you can add the bouncing text video and the background video to the timeline, and then place the bouncing text video above the background video track.

Double click the text track, go to the Chroma Key effect, select the Color Picker tool, and click anywhere in the Preview window to get things right. Finally, export the entire project to your preferred output format as explained in Step 4.

As explained before, Wondeshare Filmora makes the entire process of creating and adding bounce text effect pretty simple. With all the pre-build templates, and the versatility of the options that can be used to customize those presets, you can come up with the effects that are usually obtained when you start generating them from the scratch.
