  4. Set Backdrop - select on the backdrop button to blur or upload a background image.
  5. Start Recording - select start recording to begin.
    • Don't stop if you stutter or don't like what you said. Just keep filming. During edit mode you can delete the cut before and after your desired content.
    • Include long gaps before you start talking and after you end talking during your message. Look into the camera during these times. This will provide transition time before you clip out the beginning and end pieces to create a polished end result.
  6. Stop Video - when complete, click the stop video button
  7. Save and Edit - click the save and edit button to finalize your video.
Edit Your Video
  1. Trim Off Ends - play your video and pause where you want to trip. Then click the scissors icon to make a section cut.
    • Alternately, use the slider to move directly to the section you want to cut and lick on the scissor icon.
  2. Delete Video Sections - select on the section to remove and click the Delete key on your keyboard.
      • Do the same for the beginning and end sections.
  3. Delete Gaps - delete the gap that now remains in the section by hovering over it and clicking on the trash can icon.
