For those interested in trying out #Loops, you may be wondering: what are good tools or processes for making videos?
We go into detail with some of the tools we’re currently using.
Hot take: short video format is kinda trash, even in a federated version.
Lukewarm take at best. It’s cool if it’s not for you personally, but a lot of people use it, love it, and benefit from it.
I think the stuff that Loops is building out could eventually become a standard feature that a lot of Fediverse platforms optionally offer. That kind of interop for the people that want it is frankly a win.
Think of all the skills you could learn! Basically any task that takes less than 60 seconds to complete!
meh. not viewable via embedded fediverse links. its just tiktok with rss.

- Record something uninteresting.
- Add annoying music.
- ???
- Profit!
I’ve been loosely exploring this space for a couple weeks now. I got an fpv quadcopter this year and I was thinking about sharing some of my content on loops but I didn’t know anything about video editing. Can confirm kdenlive and OBS studio are legit, still trying to figure those out. Would be nice to find a simpler editor I could use from my phone though. Please throw some recommendations in here if you’ve got them.
You might want to try CapCut. It’s by ByteDance, used by a lot of Tiktokers, and some of the better features are behind a paywall, but it’s probably one of the brightest examples of an easy-to-use mobile editor for Android.
I still haven’t found a whole lot of alternatives to that. There’s some professional-grade multi-track editors, and some rinkydink open source apps that barely do anything. Honestly, it’s kind of hard to find a good balance.
I can’t even get an account created because the website isn’t functional. Downloaded the app but it’s not doing me any good.
