Video Recording Tips
Check the audio. Play back each clip you intend to use and make sure you can hear it. If it's too quiet or has too much distracting background noise, re-record.
Record 3-5 extra seconds before and after the action. You will need this for editing. To start, hit the record button and count down out loud and with your fingers 3, 2, then for 1 don't say it, just use your finger and for 0 point to the actor. It's very hard to cut out the sound of you saying "1" and "go".
Watch the lighting. We should be able to clearly see everything. No one should be in silhouette unless you intend them to be.
Log in to the filter (filter.friscoisd.org) when uploading to YouTube.

Adobe Premier Clip
Don't be fooled by the name, Adobe Premiere Clip doesn't have anything like the power of the desktop app Adobe Premiere – it's very much about editing essentials only. That's why Clip is free, of course. It's fine for simple tasks – mixing videos and images, splitting clips, adding titles, using faces or adding a soundtrack – and less commonly seen features include lighting adjustments for exposure, highlights and shadows.

iMovie
iMovie comes free with more recent iDevices. Add video clips and photos locally, from iTunes or iCloud, and you're able to move or trim them, add filters and effects, adjust speed, audio and more. Built-in templates and themes help to coordinate graphics, titles and transitions, or you can take manual control and do things your own way.

Cameo
At first, Cameo might seem like just another basic video editor. Import clips (no photos), trim or reorder them, apply filters, add a soundtrack and share the results with the world. But try it out and you'll find the filters and styles look good, there's a wide selection of music (even searchable by genre), custom audio level adjustment per clip, and saving up to 4K video on the latest devices.
