The VeeR Editor app is an amazingly simple 360-degree video editing app for iOS and Android that simplifies 260 editing for those working in the format.

VR and 360 video have become the latest frontier in video exciting producers and viewers alike with the immersive video experience. The popularity of the format can be seen somewhat as a novelty, but integration from YouTube and Facebook, as well as relatively cheap hardware from the likes of Samsung and Google have let to an explosion in its popularity. More and more cameras designed for 360 have been hitting the market recently and have made the technology more accessible to the average consumer and with it more and more people are creating 360 and VR content.

One of the most difficult aspects of producing 360 video is editing it. Most video editing softwares to not support the format, and, depending on the camera you use, stitching together the footage can be a tedious and laborious process. The new free app, VeeR Editor, wants to change that.

The app is designed for footage that is shot on self-stitching cameras, which are more widely available these days, and makes editing them quickly on your smartphone easy. Producers can easily edit sections out of their clips, add graphics and animations, and exports high res videos that you can easily upload to your favorite platform all right from your phone. This can be great when you want to turn around a video fast and work on your smartphone as many producers want to do these days. 

VR is a format which is still in many ways in its infancy and a lot of what people do with it is pretty primitive. All we get so far with 260 and VR are long takes of wide shots that usually don't have a lot going on. However, as the technology gets into more consumer and producers' hands, like cameras and editing softwares, the more innovative uses we will see develop.

Download the app here for either iOS or Android.

There is a great deal of concern, well placed, that few people under the age of 30 watch TV news. Viewership of TV news in general has fallen off, so naturally, TV executives across the boards are searching for a solution. How to appeal to a demographic that spends most of their time on social media?


Sometimes when you are searching for something, the answer is right before your eyes. For years, I have been looking for a new and powerful way to cover breaking news stories - and now, I think, I've got it.


When we run our video storytelling bootcamps for TV news organizations, our primary focus is on what we call ‘the viewer experience’. It is a given that the journalism is well researched and accurate, but if no one is watching; if there is no ‘audience engagement’ with the story, then you are in fact showing it to no one, which is tragic, and avoidable.
