Velapp is an amazing iOS app that edits video as you shoot it in the app. While you are shooting video in the app you just tap a button when you are recording something you know you'll want in the video, and the app does the rest. Once you are done recording, the edited video from your clip will appear.

This is a great app to use when you are recording something long like a sports event, speech, or rally, and want to pull highlights from them right after. If you want a quick turnaround from an event to put on social media then this is the app for you.

Obviously this app isn't for every video. If you are putting together a story from many clips then you will still have to use an editing app or program on your computer like Final Cut or Premiere Pro.

However, if you are shooting a sporting event, or something that requires you to shoot continuously and you need a quick turnaround, then this could be a great option for you. This is great for video journalists who are covering an event. You can use the app to put together a highlight reel for quick release on social media and then do a more detailed edit on the footage for a final piece after. 

If you are trying to put together a video from many clips and create a compelling story, you'll still want to use an editing app on your smartphone or computer.

Check out the app on the App Store here.

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.
