The term “bullet journal” hit my ears for the first time just a few months ago, and I immediately binged on “Bullet Journal for Beginners” videos to see what all the fuss was about. Once I learned what Bullet Journaling was, I was instantly intrigued. I started right away with a Moleskine that I had…
I don’t really watch horror movies or scary movies, but every once and awhile I see videos or commercials and I wonder “how did they do those spooky video edits it like that?!”. In this week’s video, Let me show you some tricks in Premiere Pro and some cool stuff in Filmora, too.
I have both Adobe Premiere Pro and Premiere Elements, and I’ve used both. As you (probably) know, I’m all about teaching you how to create and edit videos… so I like to explore and learn what video editing options are out there. So, Premiere Pro vs Premiere Elements – what’s the difference?
I have been playing with a piece of video editing software this week that I’ve never used before! It’s called Filmora from Wondershare, and they were kind enough to sponsor this post*.
In celebration of my YouTube channel rolling over 1000 subscribers, I have devoted blog posts and videos to how to get your GoPro videos (or any kind of video) found and watched on YouTube. This is part two! And we’re talking custom thumbnails, plus annotations (huh?) and YouTube cards (double huh?).
Oh boy. Now, I’m not one to criticize your personal home movies or rad GoPro videos. So, why start now? Well, because I want people to enjoy watching your videos. Your family, friends, random strangers on the internet (example: me) – videos are fun to watch, and usually the moments worth capturing in video are…
I want to tell you what I was doing wrong when I first started editing home vidoes and why it was taking me forever. FOR. EVER. First of all, I was getting bogged down in the details of the software, instead of just using the basic editing techniques that all editing platforms have. I was trying to…

Yo yo yo! I’ve got a Vlog for ya here today. I want to tell you why I almost gave up on learning how to edit video and create home movies. I was SOOO frustrated with trying to learn the software but in the end, it was worth it… here’s why: Are you part of my…
In the last month, I’ve doubled my email list, my YouTube views are up times FIVE, and I’m nearly finished with a mini course for all y’all but you know what I REALLY LOVE? I LOVE when you show my the videos YOU have created! PLEASE share them with me on my Facebook page at…
In last week’s post, we had a little talk about GoPro Studio and just one of its limitations. For editing family videos and home movies, you will probably want a piece of software that is a little more robust, without going full pro. Take a look at Adobe Premiere Elements 13 with me, as I…
I have been over tired and over busy this week, and put off recording/editing a weekly video for you this week… but I’ve been so consistent with posting a video on my YouTube on Thursdays that I just couldn’t let the day end without one. So? Welcome to my fridge.
This is something I’ve been contemplating a lot lately. My oldest daughter, who is eight years old, sees me creating videos for my own blog and youtube channel, and she started to show interest in what I’m doing. So I kind of poked around to see what she would think about being in a video on…
This is one of my favorite tricks. For some reason, it seems super high tech to non-techy people but you guys: IT. IS. SUPER. SIMPLE. Ladies and Gentlemen, Dropbox is your friend. I promise. Dropbox is free (totally), and it’s easy to install on your Mac or PC and your phone. It’s SUPER easy way to…

When I’m out and about, I observe people doing it wrong. And I have to to refrain from tapping them on the shoulder and correcting them… the struggle is real. This is one of those things that you either get it or you don’t. It’s not a new concept… not by a long shot. Bloggers…

It you’re like me, you whip out your phone at your kids soccer game, dance recital, at every moment, every little thing that your kids do… where are those videos?
Back in January, 2014 I had this crazy idea. All my ideas start out feeling crazy. Or ridiculous. Likely both. I’m an idea person, but most of the time I can reason myself out of them. Most. of. the. time. GoProMom is one of those ideas that I could not shake off.
