I see many people that do Facebook videos, but I see them use headphones with a microphone.

How often do you recommend putting videos out

56:18
We find just posting the videos directly to FB is easiest prefering not to do live videos. We Like Imovie the best. Shotcut is another free one for PC. For a very basic program most PC's come with Photos in Windows that has a video editor. Videopad is similar to I movie but takes a small subscription.

you guys gave me a good idea for bloopers

01:00:12
if you are new to video like i am, remember not to switch your device between horizontal and vertical while filming. it is difficult (but not impossible) to fix.

01:00:58
great advice-did have that issue

01:02:33
Imovie will turn you with editing.
