Can an iPhone and iMovie Make a Decent YouTube Video

-

 


What do all the pros use to make those great looking videos on YouTube? Maybe they have a $5000 camera, expensive editing software, tons of crew members, and all that. Well, probably so, but that doesn't mean that the newbie or little guy like us has to suffer. With the tools you already have you can create a fine looking product right there in your own house. Green screen (bed sheet or poster board) check, iPhone check, iMovie (free) check. Now lets get to filming. With sites like pexels.com and unsplash.com you can download free images and videos to make any production look top notch. iMovie allows you to use those images and videos for backgrounds by simply adding them to your timeline, then put your iPhone video on top, now in the top corner of the editing software you'll see two rectangles overlaying each other, click there and then click green/blue screen. Now each of those tools allows you to fine tune the background image. Play around with it and you will be a pro in no time. You can always download free music from YouTubes audio library to spice things up a bit and use titles to add to the spirit of things. Be creative and most of all have fun. 

iMovie is 100% free to use and use it I have. I started out using an iPhone SE 1st edition and moved onto an iPhone 8. All I ever had was some poster board for a green screen and a small desktop tripod. It was so much fun back then. I never worried to much about hash tags, keywords, long descriptions, thumbnails, or anything else found in the YouTube Studios. All I wanted to do was have fun and create videos just like the big guys. Finding Simon was a huge inspiration to me as well as Niga Higa and IndoorSmokers. These guys had the best videos I could find.

ONN 7 inch Tablet Review

-
Image
The Surf Onn Gen 2 7 inch tablet from Walmart is exactly what you'd expect from a Walmart tablet. The screen is decent but not great and the apps tend to crash from time to time. I bought the base model for $49 and got 2gb of RAM and 16gb of internal storage that was actually 11 from the pre installed apps.  As for usage the tablet performed well enough to be considered a nice entry level tablet and I feel the kids could use this as a cheap dedicated YouTube machine. Although folks who already have a taste for the big boy toys like the iPad or Samsung tablets may find this to be a toy.  Would I recommend this for anyone? Yes, surprisingly I would. This is a perfect entry level tablet for those who have a tight budget and need a machine to get online with for school, entertainment, kids enjoyment, or to simply apply to jobs, email, and other personal needs. This tablet will get the job done as long as its light work.

I’m Attending Southern New Hampshire University Online

 Hello friends. I’ve been doing some thinking lately. Although I do have a job it’s just a part time job and that leaves me with some free time. The job that I have isn’t the job that I’d like to retire from for sure. I just haven’t been happy with where my life has taken me. I felt it was time to make a few changes. Well I got online and looked for the best online colleges that I could find. I found a few and even tried one that didn’t work out.  Southern New Hampshire University seemed to be a good fit. The cost was dramatically less than other online schools. It does have a brick and mortar school that can be attended. And the reviews for the school aren’t all horrible. In other words it isn’t a diploma mill.  I’m only in my first class so far and it is a class about cultural diversity. I guess that’s a pretty good class for someone majoring in psychology. I’ve learned all about communicating with someone from a different culture than me. Culture could mean anything from race, sexua

Dollar Shave Club Six Blade Razor

-
 So I used to use Harrys razors. I used Harrys for quite a few years. Then something changed about the blades. They started cutting me and at times cutting me pretty bad. The moisturizing strip also started falling off all of the time. This was happening during the first shave of the blade too. I was having to change brand new blades all of the time. It got ridiculous. I decided I had enough of the Harrys razors and made the switch to Dollar Shave Club.  Now I am not going to say that everything I write or say about Dollar Shave Club will be the same experience you’ll get but maybe it will help you make a decision to try them out for yourselves. Now I read a ton of reviews about Dollar Shave Club six blade razor. Most of the reviews are negative unless you find the ones that are promotional reviews. I think that these negative reviews are from long time users of the club and are angry that they switched blades and handles. The old six blade razor was called the executive and the club d
