You've recorded your videos, but now you're like, "Oh, editing. I don't know how to edit. What do I do?" Well, I'm here to give you a couple of tips and some tricks, and to motivate you and keep you going. All right, guys. So Shannon with Shannon Lee Strategy, I help small business owners and entrepreneurs become less overwhelmed with their online marketing. If you ever need anything, let me know. I'm your gal. All right. So it's time to edit, but you have no idea how to do this.
This is a question that often stops people in their tracks, and so I'm here to give you a few tips and tricks to keep going. Okay. One thing I do is I actually record all my videos in one shot and I actually edit them on my iPhone using the in-app video tool on my phone. So anything I'm going to give you today is going to be free. And if it's not free, I will tell you if it's not.
All right. So start playing around with the native apps on your phone. If you're on an iPhone, that's what I use. I don't know much about Google or Samsung. I'm sure they have editing within the camera app itself, but I actually shoot my stuff in one shot. If I do mess up and have to do some editing, I actually use iMovie. And the best way to get good at iMovie or using your in-app camera is to just play around with it. That's just the only way around it. Just play around with it. Spend more than five minutes on it, guys. It may take you an hour, but play around with the in-app things on your phone that are free. The camera app that I'm using right now, or iMovie. If you get stuck still, head over to your computer or watch some YouTube videos or some YouTube tutorials to get there.
That is just kind of the best way to learn how to do it on your own when your budget is tight. Now when you get the hang of things and you've been recording videos for a year or maybe six months, look into Wave.video. It is not free, but it has some amazing tools in there that you can use that are pretty intuitive and they have a great tutorial base. I'll put the link below for Wave so you can go there and look at it. Not now, but eventually, because I think that if you are overwhelmed with editing, Wave's going to make you, even more, overwhelmed, if that makes sense.
Just know that it takes time to master this. And if your content is good, nobody is going to care about the backgrounds or the things that come across. They're going to care about you and the content that you're giving.
