(I later wrote about this in an article on how these real-time editing apps are changing video journalism.) This was during the height of a Facebook video craze, which would eventually move over towards YouTube and other new platforms like TikTok and the like.Īnd, while it was fun to connect with a younger generation and share a bit about DSLR videography and editing on softwares like Adobe Premiere Pro and Final Cut, I was actually quite amazed (at the time) to learn that many of the students were handling all their shooting, editing, and uploading directly from their smartphones and the various apps available at that time. Years ago, after working for several years as a run-and-gun documentary journalist for a local alternative magazine, I was asked to speak to a class of up-and-coming journalism students who were interested in learning how to better shoot and edit video content. Thoughts, tutorials, tips, and tricks on using the new VN Video Editor (VlogNow) app for your smartphone filmmaking needs.
