#premierepro #iphonevideo
📷 the ZVE-10 is about as compact & affordable as it gets for mirrorless, interchangeable lens cameras. It’s light weight, and super easy to use. The flip out screen makes it very easy to film yourself.
📷 the 16mm f1.4 lens is perfect for getting a nice wide angle (especially helpful if you film in a small space like I do!) and you get beautiful depth of field with the f1.4 aperture.
Bonus tip: I like to pair this setup with a video micro for amazing sound!
All of these (and more) are linked in my FREE content creator gear guide! You can find it in my bio 🫶🏻

Over the past two years, I’ve been hearing from more and more YouTubers about the struggles of finding the right editor. Handing over your raw footage for someone else to edit really is a vulnerable thing - not to mention how important it is to any creator that your videos are edited with care 🫶🏻
As I listened to creators about their struggles outsourcing, I kept getting more and more ideas for what the perfect video editing service could look like. And over the past several weeks - that’s what I’ve been building ✨
I’m gonna share more tomorrow 🤗 but if you want the details now, comment “editor” and I’ll send you a DM with the link to read more about our services!
⚙️ Settings here for quick reference:
Frame rate: 30fps

Record Video 4K 30fps
Format Most Compatible
Turn off HDR (trust me and thank me later!)
IG Settings turn on high quality uploads
These settings will be ideal not only for uploading high quality videos to Instagram, but also if you choose to edit your content in Premiere Pro for example, it will be much more compatible than if you left it on HDR or high efficiency.

This is only a small part of why you should be charging an ad usage fee though, tbh. It’s also because that content is highly valuable to brands as a creative asset for their ads.
If you’ve got questions about charging for brand deals, etc - let me know in the comments and I can make some more videos about it in the future!
