- Choose the Right Software. The software that’s right for you and your video editing project depends on your level of experience, the time you want to invest, how much you’re willing to spend, what platform you plan to use (mobile or desktop, Android or iOS, macOS or Windows), and how much you want to tinker with tools and effects.
- Choose the Right Format. Your final video will have an audience, and how your audience will watch the video matters. If the people you expect to send the video to will view it on their smartphones, then you should use a vertical format.
- Sketch a Storyboard. A storyboard is a simple sketch of your production’s scenes and clips. Making a storyboard helps you think through the structure or narrative arc of your movie before you edit it into shape.
- Use Title Templates. Most consumer video editing software includes templates for opening and closing titles as well as for lower thirds, or the explanatory titles that often appear along the bottom of the screen to identify people or things in the video.

This may seem like an obvious rule, but it's easy to forget. The rear camera on a phone is better quality, has a higher resolution, and offers more features within the app. It will almost always give you better results. Do you need some tips for recording yourself? Okay, in many cases we'd still recommend using the rear camera, with your phone prop...
There are two big requirements for making a great video: holding the camera still, and keeping it in focus. Many phones, cameras, and camcorders have built-in image stabilization. This helps keep your video steady, but you need to know its limitations. IS works better when you're holding the camera still to begin with---shooting while walking can e...
The simple first step to learning how to make professional videos is to remember to shoot in landscape mode---turn your phone on its side. Vertical, or portrait, videos are fine if you're only ever going to look at them on your phone. The moment you try to watch it on a TV, laptop, tablet, or almost any other device its ill-fitting orientation will...
The only thing worse than watching a video recorded in portrait mode is watching a video taken at a wonky angle. Adding a grid lets you use your background as a point of reference to ensure that your recording is always straight. Most devices have this option, available via a setting you may need to enable within your camera app. The grid helps you...
While it's easy enough to lighten dark or underexposed photos, dark or underexposed videos bring a number of bigger problems: 1. It's hard to brighten video without degrading the quality and introducing noise. 2. The camera finds it harder to focus in low light. It might even continually drift in and out of focus. 3. If you're using Auto mode, as y...
It's natural to just hold up the camera and start shooting. Yet if you want to make professional videos at home you need to experiment more with the angles you use. Instead of shooting everything at eye level from one spot, try taking a wide shot then moving closer to your subject to shoot a close-up. Then edit the two shots together. Or hold the c...
When you want to get a close up view of something, it's tempting to reach for your camera's zoom button. But this can come with problems. Most smartphones only offer digital zoom, which can degrade the quality of your image. Plus, the further you zoom the more likely your video is to become jerky, even if you're using image stabilization. So what d...
Video effects are the equivalent of photo filters. They look great when they're used properly, but you can easily overdo it. Still, most cameras and smartphones offer a few options that can add some pizzazz to your videos.
