Vine is not for everything.
Every idea may not fit into a 6-second loopable video.
The First Question:
Is Vine the right medium to share this content?
23. 23
CRA
Vine is very basic.
No ability to import pre-existing content into Vine.
No ability to edit or modify your video between
shooting and posting.
You get what you shoot in-app.
