2. INTRODUCTIO
N
PocketVideo is an app that allows you
to create, shoot and edit videos
directly from your smartphone.
Cost: Free
Devices: IOS and Android

3. Once you open the app, you’d better create an account with your email
address, phone number or Facebook details.
Start a new project by pressing the “plus” icon at the bottom of the
screen, where you’ll be subsequently asked to choose the social media
platform you are looking to produce material for.

4. After you choose the
platform, the video
timeline will appear.
Simply add your video
footage to the timeline by
tapping the “plus” icon.
Actually, you can import
multiple pieces of footage
from your camera roll,
Youtube or Vine accounts,
or simply choose the
camera option and shoot
within the app.

5. When all your
footage is on
the timeline,
a lot of tools
are available
to you,
including
adding filters,
transitions
and
voiceovers.

6. You can add some words in the video and change the
color. More importantly, a lot of free music is available
for you to add.

7. IT’S USEFUL FOR ONLINE JOURNALISM
As audiences are willing to find news on
social media, journalists should be aware of
the need to produce some videos that
engages views on social platforms.
PocketVideo allows journalists to optimise
their videos for their platform of choice, be it
Facebook, Vine or Youtube.
PocketVideo as a free app, allows journalists
to add text, images and music and other
stuff to video, which is useful to catch
people’s eyes as they scroll through social
media. It’s convenient and a good way to
connect journalists with the public on the
Internet.

8. SOME OF MY OWN THOUGHTS
• Sometimes there would be some crashes appearing when you are
using PocketVideo, which needs to be improved.
• The maximum length of your video is 10 minutes, which maybe is
not enough for some journalist to edit.
• If you intend to spread some news to the audience through this app,
please verify it first and avoid some false news.
