Since Facebook’s acquisition of Instagram, a mad race of bringing forth new video sharing applications has ensued among mobile app developers. A little quick swipe gesture enables smartphone owners to record and share videos to their multiple social networks. These video sharing apps are no less than your own video editing suite. There is no need to buy a high-end video camera, when you can shoot, edit and share with your iPhone.
Spontaneous Video Sharing Versus Editing
Video sharing has emerged as a way to share your life digitally among your friends and acquaintances. We are certainly moving to a different way of communication. The concept of live streaming services had arrived a few years back, but most of the businesses were not comfortable with the idea of sending out raw videos. Editing a video and adding effects can make a video more attractive. Spontaneous video sharing does not work well, if you are sharing something pertaining to your brand or trying to throw some light on your products or services. Thanks to these new video sharing apps, which come with editing options. And users can upload an edited video directly from a phone to popular video sharing platforms like Youtube, Vimeo, or any social networking websites.
Shoot, edit and share!
