Wanting to share a video from your phone or tablet without loss of quality?

Over the last few weeks filming on your phone and then sharing it with your colleagues has become really popular. It's a great way to keep communicating during COVID-19 where larger scale shoots are not possible.

However we've found that while people have been filming in HD on their phone or tablet, that when they they email, WhatsApp, Airdrop, Messenger, SMS or upload to SharePoint or Microsoft Teams that the video shrinks to a much smaller size than it was filmed at!

We've found the best way to maintain the HD resolution of your video is to upload it to your Dropbox directly from your phone, then share it with the person you'd like to send it to. This way it gets sent in the resolution you filmed it at and doesn't get squished or compressed.

Oh and you don't need to film in 4K, especially for a longer piece to camera - it'll just take longer to upload and download.

All the info you need is here https://help.dropbox.com/files-folders/share/share-files-mobile

Good luck and stay safe!

If you shoot, produce and edit videos by yourself (and for work) you're a Shreditor. How cool is that?

An awesome day helping videonow clients plan their corporate videos. Love days like this one, especially when I get to hang out in Sydney’s Martin Place between back to back preproduction sessions!

FREE GUIDE: How to get your company Christmas video made in 2 hours.

There’s nothing like a quick video to wish your staff Merry Christmas.

There’s still time to get this done, and if you’re wondering where to start just follow these simple steps:

1. Book 20 minutes with your CEO in your office

2. Grab your smartphone or office video camera and tripod and get your CEO to stand in front of their desk or somewhere that looks good in your office

3. If you’re not sure what to say in the video, use these easy script bullet points:

- How you found the year
- Describe one highlight this year
- What’s you’re excited about for next year
- Thank everyone for their hard work
- Wish them and their families Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

And that’s it.

Do each line separately as it’ll be easier for your CEO in the 20 minutes you’ve booked with them. Join the bits together in your editing program, and get the video uploaded. That should take you about an hour, or just 10 minutes if your CEO nailed the bullet points in one take.

A simple low fi video like this boosts staff morale and takes minimal effort. It doesn’t need to be fancy at all. If you’re pressed for time, don’t worry about adding music - instead just get your CEO to be warm.
