Never Shoot A Boring Video Again With Videokits
August 22, 2012
Tired of shooting videos with little or no personality during special occasions? If you are, perhaps all you need is to equip yourself with Videokits.
Videokits is an iPhone app that effectively guides you in making specially themed videos with the aid of, well, “video kits.”
Each video kit includes shot lists to help you decide what to shoot, scripts and tips while you shoot, and even title graphics and music after you shoot.
Video editing is not required after using a kit, although it’s by no means restricted in the app. Once you’re finished shooting with a kit, you can immediately watch the resulting video and share it via YouTube, Facebook, or direct linking.
Released last June, the app was recently updated with new kits. Some of the new kits are free while some are available in the new in-app kit store.
The new free kits are Newlywed Advice, Video Postcards, and Birthday Party Interviews. On the other hand, the new paid kits are Birth Announcement, Restaurant Review, Cooking Show, Portrait of a Dog, Portrait of a Cat, and Baseball Player Highlights.
Considering their names, the new kits should be fairly self-explanatory. But the update’s changelog provides a concise description for each:
The update also enables replacement of the default music with songs from your device’s music library. As well, it adds the ability to export and import clips to and from your device’s camera roll. Videokits is available in the App Store for free, with paid kits unlockable in the in-app kit store for $0.99 each. Please note that the app is compatible with iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S only. So, to help you come up with less boring videos and ultimately lessen your viewers’ displeasure, try shooting with Videokits instead.
