Record vine video - the best tips
It doesn't always have to be Instagram: We show you the best tips for video recordings with the Vine service in this article. Because in order to reach as many Vine users as possible with their own short video, certain points should be observed.
Vine Videos: It's the content that matters
You can download Vine for short videos for Android and iOS for free. Here are some tips to keep in mind:
- Think about what message you want to convey with your Vine video. Do you have a specific audience that you want to address? Do you want your video to be funny or informative?
- In order to reach other users in the Vine community with your videos, you also need to be patient.
- Experiment with filters and effects to make your videos more attractive. Also ensure good lighting when shooting.
- On the iPhone, open the settings and tap on "General". Then select the accessibility and tap "AssistiveTouch". Then create a new gesture so that the recording runs automatically for six seconds after pressing the button and you can take your finger away.
- Also use the crosshair function (second symbol for the tools). In this way, the camera automatically adapts to the light and sharpness conditions. However, for stop-motion videos, make sure that this automation doesn't affect your video.
Save Vine videos without publishing
If you want to try something out first, you can also record Vine videos without publishing them directly. That's how it's done::
- Record your Vine video as usual.
- In the next step you can add a heading to your video.
- Below is the "Post to Vine" option. Disable this switch.
- Your video will be stored on the smartphone memory as normal for the time being and can be posted at a later time.
- By the way, you can use the Sessions button in the top menu line on the right in the recording mode to save several different parts of a video and edit them later.
Rotate vine videos with the correct orientation
If videos are recorded at an angle, the result is usually cloudy. How to stay on line:
- Before taking a picture, tap the tool key below the video and press the button with the grid twice.
- A blue bar then appears in the recording. If the line is not straight, the line turns orange.
- In this way, especially with panorama pictures, you ensure a consistent recording height.
Delete individual scenes in the Vine video
With a length of six seconds, each image sequence must fit. Due to the shortage of time, individual scenes must also be omitted in larger Vine videos:
- The Vine app only records without any other settings if you hold your finger on the display or the record button. This way, 6-second films can be recorded step by step.
- If you accidentally recorded too much, you can reset a scene by tapping the back button below the video. You can delete the sequence directly with a double tap.
- The ghost function is also practical here. This avoids connection errors if your video consists of several sequences that were not recorded in direct succession.
