“I kayak fish and camp a lot, looking to make a post featuring a song opening accompanying high quality video footage. Is it doable inter-spliced with stills or is it usually better to keep it all one format? I am envisioning shorter clips of me loading, launching, fishing, and just general scenery. Looking for sort of a cinematic vibe, almost like the type of polished stuff you see major brands like Megabass or Shimano use. Thanks! submitted by /u/Teen-Wulf [link] [comments]”

And if you do crop it directly, does the quality drop/FOV compression really make a differen”

“Im a newbie. Trying to make short form edits for IG. Im good at editing but on a laptop screen. I need to see what I do, iphone is too small. What's the easiest workflow?

“I know that brands really like to see Talking Heads videos because you know the creator is really connecting with their audience, and as someone in the education space I give a lot of advice on tiktok but also document my life and what I’m doing throughout the day because I enjoy that. A lot of my aesthetic videos where I’m sitting in the library or filming a trip that I went on do really well, but I’m wondering if brands actually likes those silent videos (and will sponsor them) or if they pref”
