hi everyone Aaron here for ZolloTech and I want to share with you my top 5 apps
for creators some of these will be free some are not but I wanted to share them
with you to show you how you can go from start to finish creating a video or a
photo or maybe a post to Instagram or just maybe editing something on the go
so the first thing is a planning app this is a free app code called
notability if you haven't heard of it it's it's a pretty good app it works on
not only your iPad but also other devices as well and as you can see here
we can draw which is pretty straightforward you don't have to use
the pencil but you can and then maybe we want to bring in a web clip we'll just
go to web clip go to my web site here
and maybe we just want to screenshot this we'll hit done we brought it in
here shrink it put it inside this little box
here and then maybe we want to add a little bit of a taxed here saying this
is my video we'll fix that that's two fingers if you haven't used that on an
iPad on the keyboard you can kind of move your text around we'll go there
this is my video and then the nice thing is this syncs across your iPhone or any
other device you have here that users notability it'll take a moment here and
it usually takes about 10 seconds to sync there we go we've got our synced
between the two devices and we're ready to go so it's really simple and
straightforward of course you could use to just use it for bullet points you can
even use it to record audio with ideas so it's a really great app that way and
it will sync across iCloud or Dropbox or any other service like that that you
choose now before we continue this video is brought to you by surf shark and surf
shark is something I use all the time and the other day I was editing a video
in a coffee shop they had a network that was not secure and so I go into my VPN
app hit quit connect once I'm on their network and now I'm secure and I can do
anything from banking to logging into YouTube to upload a video it's super
secure and I use it all the time and you know it's connected because in the upper
right here you'll says VPN and if it disconnects it has a
built-in kill switch that will actually disconnect it for you by itself so it
keeps you safe all the time and then you don't have to just connect to where I
connected in the United States there's a ton of different countries you can
actually connect through or different locations in the US or around the world
so maybe you want to watch Netflix and you are overseas but you want to watch
Netflix from the United States you can do that as well it's something I use all
the time I'm always using a VPN on networks that are not secured just to
make sure that my data is safe when it's being transferred back and forth and no
one can intercept it it's end-to-end encrypted and they never collect your
data if you want to get 83 percent off use the codes Oh low-tech when you check
out its surf shark comm slashes a low-tech and thanks again for being the
sponsor for this video now the next thing of course after you've planned
your video you need to record your video and I've talked about this app before
and it's definitely worth the money it's filmic Pro so let's go into filmic pro
but instead of using it on the iPad I use it on the iPhone and remotely
control it or view it through the iPad then on the iPhone will go into filmic
pro and you'll see here I've already got it connected over here it popped up
we'll hit Erin's iPhone and we're good to go
now I can set all of the same settings on my iPhone but instead I can control
it right here so if I want to go into the settings I can change all the things
from resolution to let's go back here we can go to frame rate or audio whatever
we want and then we can just set this wherever we want so maybe we want to
record ourself talking we can see if we're in frame or whatever we have here
and then just when we're ready to go we can just hit record and now our
recording you can see here it just activated and we're ready to go as far
as recording goes so it's really nice simple and straightforward and
definitely worth the money you'll spend because instead of having footage that
shifts colors and things like that with the built-in apps from the iPhone you
can set all of those different things and keep everything in focus and in
different different color settings you want with the correct white balance it's
really nice now the next step is by far the best video editing app and iMovie is
free but luma fusion is on a whole other level and it's basically the closest
thing the Final Cut Pro on an iPad right now and as you can see there's video
audio and then up here is actually the title that's here with a with a
transition in and out so we can go here and just play it so this is a video I
was playing around with and of course it looks very simple and straightforward
but if we tap on the clip and then maybe go down here to edit now we've got
another editing area where we can mess with the audio so we've got all the
different audio settings we can even do voiceovers if we want to voiceover at
transition overlay titles and there's a lot more to edit in here than just what
you see right in the main display you've also got the ability to export to all
sorts of things from YouTube to iCloud Drive to wireless network drives I
prefer to export to either just photos or iCloud Drive but if we export to
photos we've got all sorts of things from resolutions to frame rates to video
quality we can go all the way up to 150 megabits per second H dot 264 or H dots
265 and then also video video only audio whatever you want it's basically here
and they keep adding to it you want to add maybe a new transition we can go up
here add a transition or a title you've got all the different titles here and
you can see what they look like just by tapping on them everything's crazy fast
and I would argue this is faster than a MacBook or a Mac Mini like I'm editing
with a G GPU or anything like that it's just super super fast so once you've
edited your video of course you need to make a thumbnail and so my favorite app
for that is Pixelmator on the Mac but on the iPad it's Pixelmator Pro so if we go
into Pixelmator Pro we'll wait for it to open this is fairly new and here's a
here's a picture I took of my Tesla that's fully edited for the most part
without some color Corrections and things
this car had a ton of dirt on it in fact if i zoom in here you'll see the dirt
right here and this app makes it so simple you just tap on the little
band-aid tool and maybe I want to get rid of that one spot takes a second now
it's gone we can just go here tap that one may not look how I wanted but once
you're zoomed out you won't see it you can just color whatever area you want
and it gets rid of most of the things you don't want there I want to zoom out
I'll show you a better example in fact if I go here here's the little toe hook
area we just do this now it's gone zoom out it's missing so if I want to do that
I can and then I can color correct automatically yuning using machine
learning here ml or we've got more advanced tools over here so you can
change everything from the temperature and it's all in real-time on the fly
just like you would get on the Mac in fact the only thing this doesn't have
that the Mac does have is text overlays so you've got filters and things built
in down here if you want to do that I'm not into filters so much but you could
do that you can color balance it all by itself if you'd like or do it yourself
change contrast or whatever you'd like you can mess around with it you can also
crop it of course and you've got a few other settings as well so the next thing
though is if you want to put text overlays like I do you probably needed
up another app to do that so let me show you that next now my final app has to do
with finishing up a thumbnail but it will work for everything from Instagram
to just making a picture for yourself and maybe you've edited a photo like I
just showed you in Pixelmator photo or procreate or anything you really want to
use go to photo my folder here and it's canva this is a free app it's been
around for a long time there are paid parts to it but you really don't
necessarily need those and you'll see it I like it because it's simple it's
create news on design and you've got everything from Instagram post Instagram
story slide over here YouTube channel art and we'll go to blank and then we
can import a photo so let's add a photo they add images you'll see here's
favorites I'll tap on the the one we just took a look at before
and here's the Tesla photo so let me zoom in a little bit it's pretty simple
to do we'll add some text so we'll add text
maybe we'll add this one move it around here it's a little bit large so we'll do
that we'll change this to say Tesla I don't really like the font it's too
small still I don't really like the font here let's change it to this one I guess
of course we can't really see it that well so maybe we'll change it to white
to match the car and then we can change any of these different things so we can
change transparency on them and make this match as well whatever we want we
can get rid of it and it's a really simple app to use no when you're done
with it you can just hit done and save it to photos and let me show you another
one I was working on this one here I was just showing you this one looks a little
bit more like what I would normally make of course that eye is not normally
capital but it gives you the idea and you have different layers as well so we
have different layers here we can put this in front now I can tap on the
little box here that's slightly transparent a shape I added and then
we're done with that I can move it behind the tax so it's a really simple
and straightforward way to make a different thumbnail it's in the correct
sizes and of course like I said you can do it with Instagram and everything else
now there are a lot of different creative tools out there you can see I
have some here procreate on my desktop here or my folder here I have video
creation field monitor that connects to a different camera there are a ton of
different helpful tools but hopefully that would get you started if you want
to edit on the iPad and upload to YouTube on the go you really can use
this device for just about everything you want thanks again to the sponsor
surf shark I'll link them in the description like I said before of course

your hands on this wallpaper of course I'll link it in the description as I
always do if you haven't subscribed already please subscribe and like if you
enjoyed the video as always thanks for watching this is Aaron I'll see you next
