Yayyyy we need more technical videos like this! Thank you! So many channels like yours are SO oversaturated with the "mindless pep talk/endless philosophical ramblings" side of making and posting content. Enough of that, we just want tangible, technical information exactly like this! Would also love to see you make a video highlighting some important editing tips and information. I'm a Final Cut Pro lady, but I' m sure some of your tips could correlate across most video editing software just fine :)

I'm so glad you are In The YouTube space so we can have a great learning experience. I would love more information on this as well. Let's do more content😊

This is by far the most useful, technical step-by-step video I’ve seen on making vlogging with phone easier. I honestly prefer using my phone to a camera because it’s much more portable and habituated in my brain to use. Thanks a bunch for this! ❤

[ninisoart]

I really appreciate how informative your videos are while not feeling like the information is overwhelming. You break everything down nicely, I enjoy your videos, they’re helpful!
Thank you Katie 😊

[amelie_peters_]

You're amazing Katie. I love how your videos are so resourceful, efficient and transparent!

[DarkBlueNutrition]

I haven’t even watched the full video but I just wanna say, I adore your videos Katie! they’re so helpful and straightforward… and you’ve officially encouraged me to get better at including simple b-roll in my content. Thanks for all that you do!

[tokyorecordstyle]

I set my iPhone camera with your settings. Thank you for all this leg work. I appreciate the heavy lifting. I also always approve your videos. Always feel well worth my time.

Omg I needed this video about 4months ago. Lol I am a new youtuber and have been going back n forth with my phone, gopro, and Zv1f camera. But your videos are helpful for people like me. Thank you so much for all the tips and tricks. You definitely drop Gems in all of your videos!!!

[suwayhamblaylock]

I appreciate the tips in renaming and organizing the videos in a folder. Thanks for sharing!

[kiaonetwothree]

this is the bible 🙌🏽 i’ve been filming with my phone, but the editing part was like you said tricky. this video was so helpful and new tipps as well ❤

[TheTechTrance]

As someone who creates content on TECH and AI, I appreciated this technical take on creating content!
I usually talk in front of the camera but I'm soon transitioning to the vlogging style as well. Your tips were very helpful, thank you!
For anyone else who is just starting their content journey, you got this! I can also see AI being a larger part of our content creation, so that will be an interesting evolution

[simplifywithmegan]

Thank you for this!! I’ve been wanting to get back into YouTube and vlogging but have struggled to get started - you just made this seem so much easier!

[atlgrow]

I struggled for so long with the workflow part. Getting stuff off the phone and on to the PC was a nightmare. Your method is a game changer. Thank you!
