Video tools - keep it simple! - lighting, audio, visuals

My simple guidance (that I myself use!) for lighting, audio, and visuals on a budget: http://smpl.ro/VideoTools  (This is a preview segment. If you don't see any comments below, you might not be logged into the course, or perhaps not enrolled. If you haven't enrolled, you can do so here.)

Recommendations for (free or very affordable) software that will turn a landscape video into a portrait video?

@Jill Binder unless you're aiming to make it a YT Short (has to be 1 minute or less) I wouldn't recommend making that change.  However I do use Kapwing for all my video editing (when I have to do it!)

JB

@George Kao Shorts are important in my niche, so yes I am. :) Thank you, I'll check out Kapwing!

@Jill Binder Another option is to use your phone rather than computer.

Here is Shoubhik's first ever YouTube video! Besides the comments below (if any), also check out the live chats from zoom for this segment here. (This is a preview segment.

I've seen it recommended strongly elsewhere to create a new gmail account for the youtube account.

@Jill Binder ​That's interesting. Being a minimalist, I don't like creating new accounts because I already have more than one. Do you maybe remember what was the reason they recommend it that way?

I did my first Facebook Live today, posted it to Youtube, and used a tool that made it into shorts, 7 of which I really like and will use!

@Jill Binder I have been wanting to segment some of my longer videos, what tool do you use? Thanks!

@Lenore Norrgard I use a tool called Riverside.fm, which uses AI to find shorter segments. It's a paid software but I find it the best one to stream my piano lessons so it's worth it for me.
