I am in love with Instagram’s Stories feature, but it is a challenge to figure out how to upload pre-recorded, edited content. Have you ever noticed that high-profile Instagram accounts like @garyvee and @gopro upload a mix of “on the fly” and pre-produced, edited clips to Instagram Stories?
Sometimes it feels like there aren’t as many “fun” video editors out there for PC users, right? One of my goals this year is to create some tutorials here on all (or most…) of the video editing software that I know you guys are using. I had a chance to play around with Cyberlink PowerDirector…

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.
