In 1997 Will Smith release “Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It”, we need a revamp on that song, let’s call it “Gettin’ Digi Wit It”, because the world is now digital and creating video on the go is quite popular and necessary.
The average mobile users spends 2 hours and 42 minutes per day on their SmartPhone, which coverts to 19 hours a week, 3 days a month, 41 days a year. Get the rest of the stats (and don’t be surprised when the stats are in the form of a video, yes, a video)!
The need to carry multiple devices around to create a high quality video is diminishing. And with more and more people utilizing devices such as iPhones to record video, its important to know that there are several ways to enhance the native video recording capability of the device.
