Level Up Your Videos: Your go-to Easy Video Maker App

Ever wished that you could make amazing videos, but you were discouraged by complex video editors? Well, guess what? You don’t have to own the best video editing equipment like those used in Hollywood to make awesome videos. Indeed, there is a great easy video maker app that is more suitable for people who are new to video making and for those who are short on time. The apps help you to crop, add effects, and produce awesome videos right from your mobile phone or tablet. You may be asking yourself, “Is it possible to create high-quality videos with an easy video maker app?” The answer is Resounding-Yes!                       

Capture and Edit Professionally

Making good videos is not just about turning on the camera and capturing the scenes as it may seem. Modern everyday devices such as smartphones themselves can shoot very well. Lighting is central! Learn how to do three-point lighting, natural lighting, and soft boxes to take your videos to a new level with the best editing apps. The quality of light has a high impact on the appearance of videos that are to be created. Ensure that you have a good-quality microphone for your performances. Using shotgun mics or an external recorder, dialogues are captured cleanly along with background sounds. With audio, much like video, quality is of great significance in the production of an event. Make sure to gain a clear understanding of how the narrative works and how to organize the time on set, as well as the composition of scenes. Whether your goal is to entertain or inform, great videos share a powerful narrative that engages the viewer.  

Color grading defines the tone and look of your video. Find out how to make characters and environments look more consistent through color correction. Easy video maker app comes with integrated color grading features. Create a professional look by adding titles, animations, and lower thirds to your videos. Motion graphics help to enhance the look of your edits and make them more professional and interesting.

Adjustment in the Easy Video Maker app

The “Adjust” in the best editing apps is a great tool. It enables you to make fine adjustments to certain sections of your video without having to alter the entire video. Local adjustments allow you to select individual colors, such as blues, and change their brightness, contrast, or saturation. This way, you can get very bright and saturated skies, but at the same time, the skin tones will look natural. The “Adjust” option enables one to create a mask or selection around that object and adjust its brightness, shadow, or highlight. This contributes to the depth and focuses on particular parts. This usually makes some parts of your video appear dark or brighter than the other sections. Local adjustments help you to make darker areas lighter or make lighter areas darker allowing for a visually pleasing image. The “Adjust” menu includes some tools such as sharpening and noise reduction. These adjustments, when applied on a local basis, can improve details and clarity in specific localized areas without contributing to the creation of undesirable artifacts in the entire video. The Local Adjustments are designed to enable the user to make adjustments of color or create color grading effects on the selected area. Bonus, it could include a warm glow to a fireplace or a cool blue hue to a night setting.                        

Color Grade Adjustments in Video Making

Color grading is one of the most effective tools one can utilize in the process of creating a video. Color grading is not simply making a video look better; it is a tool that can revolutionize the video. One of the most effective means of creating atmosphere and managing the feelings of the audience. Warm tones may give the viewer a feeling of recall or coziness. While the cool shades give a feeling of loneliness or intrigue. Do not be limited by conventional ideas and don’t be afraid to think out of the box. Color grading can help enhance the mood and set the movie apart or have a surreal feel. Taking colors to their extremes can saturate scenes with a surreal or fairy-tale theme to a video. Color grading can be artistic, however, there is a more scientific side to it that should be considered as well. Adjusting white balance where needed to have consistent skin tones and color tonality across the different shots, removing color casts caused by lighting, and maintaining color consistency in your video are all important steps.

Adjust Tonality and Temperature with Video App   

By modifying tonality and temperature, you can achieve a much better look for your videos. The best video maker apps have built-in features that control the brightness and contrast with just one click. Check out the effects of “Cool”, “Warm”, “Vivid”, or “Film” presets to recognize changes in the mood of the video. Want more control? Search for the buttons or dials labeled "Temperature” and “Tint,” or “Highlights” and “Shadows. These can be adjusted to fine-tune the general color hue and saturation, which can be used to make the image look more lifelike or ‘painted’. In some cases, some applications enable the user to make selective adjustments to the video. You can use brushes or masks to paint over certain parts of your video and make changes to their color balance or warmth without affecting the rest of the video. This is excellent for offsetting a bright background with a cooler subject in the foreground. Did you take photos under both natural and artificial light? Most of the video applications have a feature known as “White Balance.” It helps to offset the colors caused by the Fluorescent light or warm tungsten bulb to give natural colors. To gain the most precise control over tonality, some apps contain a tool called “Curves”. This lets you control the overall brightness, contrast, and color channels across the entire tonal range of your video, as well as fine-tune the look and feel.

Conclusion                                           

There you have it! Easy video maker app is so popular; you can make really good videos even if you do not want to spend years learning video editing software. So, take your phone, start exploring your creativity, and prepare yourself to create even better videos! Starting from shooting videos to making enhancements, these apps provide everything that one will need to make high-quality videos. If you manage to fully understand the adjusted features, color grading techniques, and tonality controls, your content will be much better and more interesting to the viewers. The key point is that your creation should be based on your individual experience and the emotions you are ready to invest in it. Happy filming!

Communication Gaps in Family and How to Fill Them

A widening communication gap between families is taking an immense toll on the younger generations. They are not connected to their roots and are unaware of their culture and traditions. The increasing societal pressures mask the importance of family, urging for a serious solution.

However, the increasing issue now has an ultimate solution: “Kintree — a private social network application.” Kintree can eradicate all tensions by bridging family concerns. The features of applications will eliminate the distance between you and your family. Here are a few solutions to the problem of the growing communication divide

Stay in touch:

It is important to keep tabs on your family’s well-being. Celebrate festivals together, and make sure to visit your family members on their birthdays. Even if it is not possible to attend, make sure to wish them and let them know their importance in your life. On special festivals and occasions, urging them to be part of your happiness. This will only strengthen your bonds and enable your connection to deepen

You can make it possible with this Extended family tree maker. If you want to invite your family members, you can create a Birthday event on Kintree and send invitations to the members. It is a very easy and smooth sailing process. Just need to create an event including Venue and timing and then send it to your family members attaching a personal greeting to it. The invitation will create a sense of belonging with a personal flair.

Celebrate your bond:

You can easily eradicate the communication gap with Kintree. Just stay and keep updating your family members with the new developments in the family. You can also update your mood and daily happenings on Kintree posts and tell your relatives on your family tree about your day-to-day happenings.

Family comes first for a reason as every first of yours is witnessed by your family. They should always top your priority list given that family is everything before anything.

Appreciate your bonds:

We should always appreciate our bonds with our family. Their mere existence makes our life so easy. Didn’t the memories of our Granny’s house make our whole day beautiful? These summer vibes, don’t they take you back to those refreshing vacations with your cousins? We are sure that they do. We can never take our family out of us. They will always be our identity wherever we go. So why can’t we appreciate those people who made our childhood awesome and life magical? Reliving those beautiful moments with your loved ones isn’t that hard.

You can start a poll and give your family sufficient time to decide on their favorites. Look how easy it is to appreciate your family bond. Stay there, protect them, and love them. That’s it!

Family is precious and precious things always need to be preserved. So, always stay connected with your families. Stay in touch with your families the Kintree way.

Long-Distance date/bonding ideas I've learned while making it work with my femme

Streamed Movie Night: Discord has a function that let's you stream video and gaming alike! I'd recommend Nitro because otherwise stream quality is gonna SUCK (and you need to do some weird fiddling to get services like Netflix to work) but you can enjoy movie night with your boo

Tabletop Simulator: If you both have about $20, and a computer with even a low budget graphics processor, this program is invaluable. The base games are neat but the real trove is in the Steam Workshop. Mod makers upload hundreds of boardgames from Catan to Azul to outright heavy ones like D&D and Warhammer. My femme and I now have a weekly boardgame night (she actively challenges me at strategy games and it makes me so happy to have a partner that does 🥰)

Coffee shop dates: Go to a place where the shop has wifi (or you have a really good data plan with your phone), pop your headphones in, and just video call. I promise you, there will be more people there who find it sweet than those who find it weird.

Spotify Jam Sessions: I don't know about other music apps, but we both have spotify and it now has a function that let's you invite others to a shared listening session. Music is really important to both my femme and myself, and the ability for us to literally listen at the same time and talk about the music is truly quite lovely.

Parallel crafting time: Admittedly, I'm Neurodivergent as hell, and parallel play baseline is big for me. But pop on a videocall and make some crafts together. Bonus points if you get similar materials and share what you've made together

Call every night: no seriously, even if you both are busy the entire day and can't talk, call for at least a half hour or so to round your day off. That lack of certain forms of intimacy means you need to be really on top of other forms. On top of affirming love for one another. If you're trying to make long distance work long term, calling to just. Be with eachother is so important.

Schedule Time: As an extension of the above, just because you're calling every day, doesn't mean ensuring you have dedicated time for eachother isn't important. I'm talking like. An afternoon/evening once a week type thing. Be together for a long period of time while you can't be physically together.

Technology has honestly made what I always thought impossible for myself feel possible. The advent of videocalling my femme every day helps so much of the potential pitfalls that could have happened, and the best part is its more or less free (I pay for discord nitro but I digress). Don't get me wrong I'm having my hard days still. The inability to hold her when I want to take care of her is particularly bad. I show care and love through things like physical touch and food so much. But getting creative, and being consistent have really made this feel possible and sustainable until we get to the "next stages" bridge.

If you have ideas you found fun/helpful please toss em in the replies, tags, etc. Always open to more date ideas with my girl 💕

To love or not to love, that is the questio-

Ok whoops wrong reference. Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I made a MV of the song "Darling Dance" by Kairiki Bear featuring my favourite little tricksters for the occasion!

I'd rather you go straight to Youtube to watch it because Tumblr always finds a way to cut the quality, lol.

Eng subtitles are available too!

Here it is! Hope you enjoy my pride and joy. Basically like a hopeful child but in video format. Reblogs are specially appreciated because Youtube sucks at promoting new channels!

This also acts as a behind-the-scenes post, so let's get straight into that, shall we?

MV Project 1 "Darling Dance"

Illustration time: 37 hours

Editing time: Approx. 30-35 hours

Total: 70 hours

*Cough* Holy freakin' moly does making an MV take so long. Before you roll off your bed, I'll say that part of the reason making the art took so long was because I have trouble drawing Marx consistently.

Here's some unused assets! Look at them, they're all salty over not making the cut.

In all seriousness though, a lot of times I don't really see a lot of editors/ MV makers getting appreciation for their efforts. And now that I've personally experienced making an MV for the first time, it's also increased my admiration to the people who dedicate their time to this! All the kudos to them.

Now, I'll go scene by scene then comment along the way! Spoilers ahead!

Verse 1

Pretty good for what it is. In the first image, you see that heart behind Magolor? I discovered the motion of it on complete accident lol. Capcut is hard to figure out..

I also really like the color palette of 2nd image. That art of Marx was the last one I did during production (aka I drew it this morning), and just look at him. He's such a bastard he's the best.

Pre Chorus 1

Mmmm yeah it sure is the pre chorus! I put a bar behind the text in the middle because I didn't want people to stare into their soulless eyes for too long. That probably worked!

1st Chorus

When I first added in the expression change, I fangirled over it a little on the first rewatch. Like, come on! They suddenly look mischievous, and the color change on the background! I know I drew it but still!

For the rest, I experimented a little with all the "Nah"s! I think it ended up well. Most of the lyric editing in this MV is completely original, so I had a couple of things to try out!

Verse 2

This song is horrifically outdated because it says Twitter instead of X!! (/sarcasm)

This scene is my second favourite. I'm really proud of the details on the tabs and the editing at the beginning! Wish I could put more images but the app only allows ten. Bummer.

Pre Chorus 2

I think it's cute, and I used it as my pfp on YouTube! That's about it though.. image limit is killing me I can't put anything here :(

Chorus 2

...Not gonna spoil it! I like how I drew them, but there ain't anything notable. Unless you look at the last image I put right before the bridge. :)

Bridge

This is where my editing comes in freakin' clutch. Ooooooh it's so satisfying to look at. Chef's kiss. Also those Marxs (Marxes?) are really cute.

The second part of the bridge is nice as well! I tried to make the lyrics snap to the rhythm. Glad I added that tv effect in the bg too!

Chorus 3

This scene is my favourite! Wanna know why?

This sequence right here. I think I will etch it into my brain forever... I love me some snappy editing. Like a lot. Like a lot a lot!

The second part of the chorus is like the original song's MV! I loved the hearts popping in and out whoever thought of that is a genius. Putting it into the MV was a good decision!

And that's a wrap! Hope you enjoy the MV as much as I enjoyed making it. And, stay tuned for next time! I have a feeling a certain jester is getting his own solo MV...

Feel free to leave your thoughts either in the Youtube comments section or here. See you around!

How do you create your dividers? What do you use?

hi 😊 i'm not very good at explaining things like this but i'll do my best. ok so, i use 3 different apps to create a divider ⤵️⤵️

first step, i use canva.com. i go to file then import

and then i click photo or video (gif) whichever applies. in this case it's video. so i click video and then the content i want

once it comes up, them i minimize it in the direction i want

then i tap the 2 pages icon with the + to add additional ones

then i drag and drop it where i want and tap the 2 pages icon with the + again as many times as it takes to go across the page

now i'm done so i'll click share, then download

second step, i use gif maker editor (goggle play app) i click video>gif and download the content i want

then i click the arrow at the top right for it to process my request, then tap it again to finalize my request

then this box comes up and i tap ok to complete the video>gif process

third step, i use online-image-editor.com and i click choose image

after the image i want comes up i click the advance tab then transparancy

then i change my fuzz factor (in this case 7) note: the higher the fuzz factor the more transparent it makes it

now i'm ready to crop. so i click the basic tab then crop.

then i just drag and drop the red box to the dimention i want and click apply

then save and i'm all done

so, that's how i make divider. hope it wasn't too confusing. i'm sure there are easier ways, but this is the only way i know.

if you have any questions, don't hesitate

Hello! I love your gifs! How do you make yours so clear and high quality/What's your process? <3

Hi!! Thank you so much!! I've never really had to explain out my process to anyone and I don't know how much detail you need, but I'll try my best and try to be as thorough as possible just in case!!

For my D:BH gifs, the process starts out with recording my own game play. I have a gaming computer that already had the GeForce Experience app downloaded, so I use that to record my game play. It records at 1920 × 1080p, 60 frames per second, so the files can get... rather large 😅 The video of my playthrough of the Russian Roulette chapter (~11 minutes long) was just under 4 GB. So its not light...

From there, I figure out what in particular I want to gif (for the timestamp roulette series, I let a random number generator figure out whereabouts I'm looking). Once I know that, I open up VLC and use it to isolate that particular shot + a little more on either end.

After I have the shot(s) I want to gif isolated, I open up Photoshop. I use "File" > "Import" > "Video Frames to Layers" and choose the video I want. You can do this straight from the video of your playthough, but I find that the shorter the video is, the easier it is to work with in this step. I trim my video more, to about a click or two outside of the specific shot I want. Like so:

From there I delete any extraneous frames from the "timeline" section that comes up.

Then is cropping: my go-to crop uses the "W x H x Resolution" option - I put 540 px in the first box, 300 px in the second and leave the third blank.

After that, I have an action in Photoshop that does the next steps for me (to make things quicker), but what it does is sets the frame rate (which will have to be done again after saving the gif because Photoshop hates everyone apparently), converts all the layers into a single object, and sharpens the gif. I've only been gif-ing for about a year and a half, and before that I had exactly zero experience with Photoshop at all, so all the numbers from these steps are still the same as the numbers I pulled from the tutorial I used when trying to figure everything out. For those, you can look at this absolutely AMAZING tutorial, by hayaosmiyazaki, specifically steps 7. gif speed and 8. sharpening.

From there, I start adjusting the colors. From what I've noticed, I seem to do a good bit less color adjustment than some, or maybe even most, other gif makers. It's honestly all about personal preference, so play around with it and find what you like! I personally like to stick as close as possible to the original colors, while still brightening the image up enough to make it clearer and more legible. So, for a majority of my gifs, I only apply an "Exposure" layer, a "Brightness/Contrast" layer, and a "Hue/Saturation" layer (from the "Layer" > "New Adjustment Layer" menu.) The numbers here change dependent upon the lighting in the shot.

For example, here's a before and after of this shot I just did so I could type this out and make sure I got every step 😅 For this one, I did Exposure +1.0 (no change to Offset or Gamma Correction), Brightness +20, Contrast +10, and Saturation +5 (no change to Hue or Lightness).

Once I'm satisfied with my coloring, I go to "File" > "Export" > "Save for Web (Legacy)". I watch the gif there to make sure it looks how I want, maybe go back and do a few tweaks to the coloring if I'm not quite happy, check the file size and then save it!

Tumblr's maximum file size is 10MB so if your gif is over that, you won't be able to use it on tumblr - in order to fix that, you may have to delete a few more frames. Or you can crop it to so there's less pixels in the "Save for Web" pop-up by changing the numbers in the "Image Size" section

And now, once I have my gif named and saved. I go back to "File" > "Open" and open up that gif. From there, I go to the little three lines icon in the top right corner of my "Timeline" section, click "Select All Frames" and then click the three dots on one of the frames and change the frame delay. For my DBH gifs, I do 0.02 seconds cause it looks best to me. Depending on how many frames per second your recording software does/what you personally like speed wise, this may be different for you. This is also different for gifs from live action or other media (for those, I prefer 0.05 seconds - it looks the most realistic to me.)

Then, I just save again, overriding the file from before I changed the speed, and voila! That's my process!

I hope this helps; if you have any more questions, my ask box is always open!! And again, thank you so so much 🥰 I'm so glad you like my gifs!!

[fukutomichi]

Hi! How do you make such high quality gifs? I use Windows Movie Maker to make short videos and then turn them into gifs with an online app, but I'm not entirely pleased with results :(

Hi hi!!! Oh, as gifing tools I use only VLC player to get the clip/frames that I want and Photoshop 2020 to make the gifs. I explained in a previous ask I did a little mini tutorial about how I handle the 10mb size limit, and in it is also part of the process how I make them, but before that I also have a tiny tutorial about sharpening and it's the most important step to make the gifs look sharp and crisp before you start doing any coloring. Hopefully it's helpful to ya or anyone else that's learning to gif. I have to mention, there's TONS of incredibly detailed gif tutorials around here that can also help you out, by far more talented gif makers that use different tools or methods, it's all about what suits you the best and which process you enjoy the most while making them. Have fun experimenting! ♡(>ᴗ•)

Hey there!! I think i want to start making stimboards, but i personally cannot make gifs for multiple reasons, unless you know a good phone app or if IBIS can make gifs !!

Do you have any suggestions and tips ?

Are there blogs that don't mind using their GIFs as long as credit is somewhere ? Or is that typically frowned upon anyway?

I wanna be respectful so i understand if this means i cannot make stimboards until I'm able to make gifs myself :3

Hi!! The way I personally make my gifs is through using ezgif, and I’m fairly sure a bunch of other stimboard makers use this website too because it’s very convenient and free. Just submit the video you want to gif (not the whole thing, just a trimmed section of what u wanna gif), and it’ll convert it to a gif for you. Make sure to credit the original video if you post a gif of it, though, as it’s really important to give credit to the source

As for reusing gifs other people have made, pretty much all of the time it’s going to be okay to use someone’s gif in a stimboard, as long as credit it’s given. In fact, most people in the stim community on tumblr make gifs with the intent of them being used in stimboards. Some really great blogs that make a lot of original gifs to be used in boards that I go to a lot are @/talos-stims, @/heartnosekid, @/helium-stims, @/aliens-stim-too. There are a lot of other good ones too, but there are a few just to get you started.

You don’t have to specifically search a blog to find gifs though. Using the main tumblr search function you can type what you’re looking for, just include the tag “stim” in your search, and a lot of stuff will come up. You can use gifs that someone else has used in a stimboard, too. Just try your best to follow their sources to the original creator, and link it directly to there instead of the stimboard you took it from. A lot of stimboard blogs get deleted, which can lead to your link to the board becoming defunct in the future and that credit being lost for people down the line trying to source a gif.

If you’re making a gif of an animation or using a piece of art someone has drawn, that’s when you want to directly ask someone for permission. Most artists don’t mind as long as credit is given, but it’s important to check. If it’s a big artist that you can’t send asks to or contact in some way, just make sure to tag them in the post of the stimboard, that way if they can see you’ve reposted their art somewhere, and they can reach out to you if they don’t want it there.

The most important thing when it comes to all this is just to source your gifs. Copy the links in the notes app on your phone, a google doc, I personally do it on a discord channel, it doesn’t matter, just make sure you have SOME kind of credit to the gifs in your stimboard linked below your post. Don’t stress too much about messing up the first couple of times though, you get better at it and you can always go back and fix stuff later.

Hopefully this helps and wasn’t too much of a ramble. I’ve been thinking about making a sort of guide on my process of making boards actually, but haven’t gotten around to it since idk if anyone would be interested. Anyways that’s all

New Year’s was almost always a particularly special holiday for Mickey

It wasn’t his favorite holiday (it’s a tie between Halloween and San Diego Comic Con weekend, and yes, he considers it a holiday), but there were a few traditions he liked to follow to for a truly happy new year

First: set 3 resolutions he wants to fulfill in the next year

Even before he entered the navy, Mickey always considered himself to be a diligent person

He was always a good student in school, and never liked to disobey his parents when it came to chores

When he sets goals, he has to have an actual, tangible, visible list so he can really see his progress

(He has good memory but he loves being able to cross out or check off an item on paper rather than on an app or just mentally)

He has a little “resolutions” notebook that he started using in high school

Every year, he goes through the existing list of goals he’s had ever since he started the notebook

There are goals from years ago that either have yet to be done (star in a Star Trek reboot) or he had just crossed off recently (reach 100 days on Duolingo)

But no matter how many goals he’s done or hasn’t done, he will always add 3 new resolutions

Next: Prepare 2 of his favorite New Year’s dishes

Food was always a hit at the Garcia’s New Year’s celebrations (and just in general)

His whole family would gather in their abuelita’s kitchen and spend days planning and preparing the menu

His favorites were most definitely the tamales and the stuffed pork loin his family would prepare together

Since joining the navy, he knew that there may come a time he wouldn’t get to spend New Year’s at home

Luckily, he knew how to make them on his own from all the times he would help make them

He even video called them so that they could make it together even if they were apart

His didn’t turn out as perfect as the ones his abuelita or his mom would make, but they were pretty close

Lastly: kiss his 1 favorite girl at the stroke of midnight

He thinks your kisses are better than fireworks, anyway
