Transform your videos- Recording and editing tutorial for your phone

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

Want me to review your videos? Comments YES and what you’d like feedback on. (It may be used in a future video)❤

[@itslaurenehaynes]

YES! I’m happy to take feedback on anything! I make Christian content so I hope you enjoy🫶🏼

[@favengwu]

Yes please. I have been making natural hair videos i have been here for two years and still don't know what i'm doing wrong. Feedback on anything please Thank you

[@Meloyadina]

Yes please! I'm open to feedback especially on the flow and pace of my videos because my retention and engagement are low, among other things.

[@YuniPalmer]

Yes please. Still confused on what my niche is. Also I think I m in “identity” crisis mode which makes it more confusing to focus on a topic. I live in two different countries ( Australia and Indonesia), which one should I focus on? My activities are both equally interesting “I think “, as we do summer in Australia then winter in Indonesia. Thank you

[@GriggsMedia]

Yes please!

[@CoachIngvild]

I did it! Thanks to you, I "just filmed". Editing took me more than that hour and the quality itself is cringy. But I'm beating perfectionism and accept that they will only get better if I keep making them. And your callout to the over 40's (I'm 39 and a half today😆) really hit me as well. I've been attempting and thinking about this since my early 20's. NOW is the time! Thank you, Virginia, for showing us how it looks when you "just do it"!😘

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

Yay!!! You are on the move!!! If you think it’s cringy then you already know your next one will be better. It’s all about learning something new as you go. I still play that game with every video ❤️❤️❤️ excited for you!

[@ThisIsKristenSchneider]

My go-to video expert! I've been binging to prep for my channel! Your videos are always so helpful!

[@trinagreenfield5198]

You remind me of myself. I love and wear the same type of tops. I’m not a big girl, and I’m only a few years older. Your KZbin style is how I want mine to be; casual and down to earth. Maybe that’s why I stick around. Or maybe it’s because you’re just so likable. When I thought of starting my channel, I bought more suit jackets, and I was ready to deliver as professional as I could. You have me convinced that people want something relatable and not stuffy. So, I made a complete 180. For that reason, I’m all in and watch you without fail, unlike other channels I’m subscribed to. Again, you go girl! How can people not absolutely adore you!

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

Oh my goodness! Yea we are a like. I did all that!!! Yes I learned people want a friend who gives advice and shows their fun side. Not just an instructor ❤️

[@Simply_Trina]

@@ThisIsVirginiaKerr Right! I'm starting to get that now! So humble me will tag along on our KZbin journey to see where this takes us. =)

[@holisticlea]

I am so glad you made this video. I haven’t watched your other video because I was worried that you show all this lovely equipment that would make me feel to inadequate to revive my channel as planned. 😅😂 all I have is my phone and natural window light and that will have to do for now 😊. I love your daily videos I have found them so helpful and have scripted three videos using your scripting formula. Excited to start filming and editing this week coming. All the best with your journey and keep the faith. God is faithful to show us the way xx

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

Thank you so much for sharing this with me! It’s so helpful to know what helps and what’s too much. All you need to start is a phone holder that can stand up like a tripod. That way you aren’t always trying to figure out where to prop up your phone. I love the Ubeesize phone holder I have. It’s on Amazon.

[@hippieelegance]

Again, you’re just always a godsend every day. I’m glad you listen to him. I’m glad you’re doing this. You’re helping so much of us and I’m glad you showed me where to look. I still feel funny when I’m horizontal, but I’m getting used to it.

[@sherrydrupert]

Yes. I am a landscaper who teaches homeowners about landscaping/flower gardening.

[@MAJOYDACIA]

Love and need this! I’m still very poor with editing and never was a techy person, thanks V for this😊

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

So glad it was helpful!

[@brigettedavis7841]

Thank you very much for this tutorial. Also I appreciate the videos not having music and speedy transactions. This gives the feel of how talking to a friend actually is. 😊

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

You made my day!!! That was one of my goals with this challenge is to have style that felt like I was talking with a friend. Thank you!!❤️❤️❤️

[@Myperspective1802]

Hi Virginia. I wake up and first thing after my morning routine, I look for your video. I miss you phenomenal tutorials❤❤

This series has been great! Recently started my channel, so I appreciate all of the tips you’ve been sharing.

[@TheRavenandRose]

Thank you for this! I have my phone and iPad. My Mac is older than dirt. It’s studying for its driving permit. I have cameras and a tripod, but importing and editing would be difficult. I do have a little lapel mic I can use with my iPad. You’re giving me the information I really need, and I thank you for it!

I’ve been loving all the videos in this challenge but this one is particularly helpful! I’m very intimidated by all the equipment so learning how to do everything on the phone is immensely liberating. Thank you!

You're not spamming. I appreciate it so much. It's the only way I know if it's helping. Thank you!

[@CapriaTalks]

How do you edit/upload your content without slowing down your computer? 😫 Loving your videos btw ❤❤❤❤❤

[@AlmieRoseVazzano]

Excellent info! When you shoot on your phone do you use the teleprompter feature on CapCut? Or do you memorize everything?

[@christianpratt]

Quick comment on the iPhone front versus rear camera. The rear (selfie) camera is a smaller, lower resolution sensor. In low light it really struggles to perform (ie. don't use it in low light - lots of digital 'noise') but because you have such a good lighting rig, it's able to work at its best. If you're preferring it over the front camera that's probably because the lower resolution is effectively blurring (smoothing!) the finer details on your face. The front camera, in contrast, is much more detailed - and that's what you're seeing. It's arguably less flattering for pieces to camera, but better for pretty much all other filming (objects, scenes). (If you knew this - forgive me! 😀)

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

I did know but I love that you gave me permission to use the smoother version ❤️ So many say you can't use it gor talking head videos

[@christianpratt]

@@ThisIsVirginiaKerr 😀

[@amaliaalmasy]

YES! I’d love your advice!

[@ellenshealthykitchen]

I would love to know what you use for that tripod that has the gooseneck. Can you share a link? Thank you in advance!

[@tammyrude7828]

Virginia, Thank you for these videos. It has helped me understand how to create better videos. I've had my channel for some time but just started to get serious with it. Right now, I use my phone to tape and edit. You have my permission to use any of my videos to help ys master this craft. 😊

YES! I would loove to get your feedback on whatever gets your attention and think it needs improvement 🥰🥰It would also be useful to learn how we can edit from our phones and then continue on our computers using capcut. Thanks a lot

[@jenscloset]

yes

[@GoingGreenMom]

Lol, you made it! Capcut looks interesting! I use InShot and love it! Will have to see if it has the typewriter function though.

[@JRCakeDesigner]

Yes, please. I just have two videos posted, there is not much material to work with, but I would love to have your advice 😊

[@mytraveldiary63]

Thanks very much for the information. I am recording currently with my phone. It's an Android. It is easier for me to use the computer than the phone to edit. You can edit my videos.

[@bigtreefoot]

Can you do a full tutorial of CapCut on the iPhone? I am using a iPhone 12 Pro Max.

[@eddiemattison7792]

at 00:46 how to have the air-play set up on laptop, please? Thanks.

You are gold ⭐️

[@findingfaithsfuture]

Your series has been great! I've done a lot of youtube research as I've started back up in July and have gotten a few gold nuggets from your series!! You have permission to use my channel if you choose.

[@SoloSecondAct]

Yes!! ❤ I’m brand new. Only made 2 videos and using natural light from sun, but I seem so washed out. Using iPhone 15 and cinematic setting. Not sure if different setting would help. Many people have mentioned natural light is great, but I think I even scare myself in these videos! 🤣 Thank you for offering!

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

You don’t want the sun to be direct. You may need to step back or add something to soften the light like a sheer white curtain. Or find a different window with less light. In the beginning it’s figuring out what works so you have a system. ❤️

[@thepragmatist]

This is a helpful video. Thank you. To confirm, do you have an Android phone? I have an iPhone 12 and I find there is a marked difference between using the front and back camera. I have a Sony ZV1-M2 camera and I like the flip out screen so I can see myself for vlogs. Thanks for your effort in making this video.

[@Phillingood]

Hi, great video. I've just started my channel and I'm using my phone to film so I have to go outdoors for the light. I don't think I could edit on a phone though... my thumbs are too big

[@stacycadencevideos]

Thank you! 🎉

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

You're welcome!

[@Rabbihowlader247]

Basically, I'm just a regular listener to your channel, and I have viewed all videos hosted on your channel; they were really great in quality. However, there is some optimization that will give huge success to this channel. You can get an even wider reach by optimizing the titles, descriptions, and tags of your videos. Doing little tweaking in these areas might promise a big amount of visibility and engagement.

[@RogelioCastillo-r6q]

Yes you can use mi videos I started a month ago and had a lot of questions until I found your videos thanks V

[@Teds_Wig_Emporium]

You are amazing! Thank you for all your tips! By far one of the best! I would love to be your test subject! haha

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

Hi there thank you! At first glance- I would try to get back to some more how to and before and afters in your thumbnails and titles. It may be that using specific brand names in all your thumbnails makes it harder to reach a broader audience. Try to reach a larger audience with your ttiles and thumnbails and go into more detail in the video so you get more clicks..

[@Teds_Wig_Emporium]

@@ThisIsVirginiaKerr thank you for your reply! That makes sense ❤️❤️❤️

Man your videos are helping me so much. You can use my videos. Ha ha ha 😂😂😂. As examples if you choose. I relaunched my channel a few weeks ago after on and off since 2022. Now I’m seriously intentional about recording even if it’s bad but sometimes you are bad before you are good. It’s a process. It took me a long time to realize that. Thanks for all you do.

[@realfaithc]

Oh so interesting you are recording in sections.

[@lilyLily1824]

I use my front camera with a tripod, or I just hold my phone, with a ring and I don’t use a microphone. I did just buy a microphone. It’s in its way! I video all my videos in TikTOK and use them in my draft folder. It’s so much easier for me.

[@themutindasfarm]

Your videos are very helpful 😊

[@AlmieRoseVazzano]

One more question: after you edit on your phone, do you upload using the KZbin app? Or do you send the video from your phone to your computer and upload from the desktop? Sorry lol!

[@williamsolis1]

The microphone does make a big difference.

[@worldwideachievers1234]

Yes

[@catherine6653]

Hi Virginia. I use my phone to film and use a tripod. If I am standing, I Iike to use a selfie stick. It is important to have a steady camera when filming.. I taught myself to use capcut, and have become efficient at editing and uploading. Your example of lighting in this video is helpful.

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

Very smart. Yes I only hold my phone when I do Instagram stories 🤣

I wanna apologize for my comment about crying. I'm truly sorry. I won't make excuses but it was a really bad moment I was having just before watching. Please forgive me.

[@ThisIsVirginiaKerr]

Appreciate you leaving this comment. Your previous comment did sting when I first read it. (Like all negative comments do) But I always ask myself “is there any element of truth in this comment?”Answer was no. And my next question is “why would someone say that?” Answer was they’re not in a good place. Which helps me have empathy and move on. Your comment here validated what I suspected. I’m sorry you had a bad day that day. Hope things are better now. Thank you for taking the time to leave this. ❤

YES hi Virginia ! I found your channel 4-5 days ago, and now I’m looking forward to all the new content and great tips you give! I just started my channel literally 2 months ago… I’m learning guitar, I started in November 2023 to learn guitar after years and years of wanting to learn but finally was able to. I wanted to learn to play guitar and sing to be able to praise and worship God ♥️, then I had the idea to share with others and so I’m learning to edit and upload videos… would love your feedback to help and define my baby channel, Thank you !!
