Making a vine is extremely easy, you can shoot your vine using your phone and do some editing with VideMake Video Editor. In this part, I’m going to show you a complete step-by-step tutorial on how to make a vine with your own devices.

Shot A Funny Video

Vine videos are all about fun. And the first and foremost principle of making a vine is you’ll have to do something funny. If you have no idea how to shot a funny video, all the popular vines on the Internet are the best examples. Or if you’re lucky enough to catch a funny moment and get it on your phone, you can directly use it for a good vine. And make sure that these funny moments are out of good intentions so that they can age like a fine wine.

Enhance Audio Quality of Your Video

Good audio is bound to make your video rocket faster than ever. But most of the time, the built-in microphone on your phone is far from good. The better solution is to get a USB microphone, connect it with your phone and record audio while you’re shooting videos. Or you can use a handy recorder to record sound while shooting videos, this will need more post-editing to replace the original audio with the one recorded with your recorder.

Edit Your Vine

Good vines are always short. Make your vines short enough and show the funniest moment with a split second is what vines are all about. Therefore, you’ll need an editor that can do the best job for you. With VideMake, you can directly import your footage and make a vine right away.
