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.
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.
I’d love too, but they never send a verification email and the captcha doesn’t work on the login screen for some reason
- Record something uninteresting.
- Add annoying music.
- ???
- Profit!
What’s the deal with loops? i have an account, and it’s buggy, uncomplete, and not even open source/federated (Yes, i know it will be) But why release it so early? it’s clearly unfinished.
Social media needs testing like any other software. If you join Loops now, you’re basically a beta tester.
Testing social media without users makes little sense.
There’s also an argument to be made that when it is finally released properly, it’s good to have some content there already.
I am a little concerned about the future of Loops and Pixelfed though. Developing things can be fun, maintaining them is a different story.
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!
