スマホだけで縦型のショート動画を最後まで作れるようになりました。テンポよくカットを繋ぐコツや音楽に合わせる編集が特に役立ちました。テロップの入れ方の章がもう少し詳しいと嬉しかったですが、初心者には十分おすすめです。

Filming and editing a full Reel on just my phone finally feels doable, and the pacing tips really helped.

Aprendí a grabar, cortar y publicar Reels usando solo el móvil, y los resultados se ven súper profesionales. Los trucos para sincronizar los cortes con la música y mantener el ritmo vertical fueron justo lo que necesitaba. Ya publiqué mi primer video y tuvo más alcance del que esperaba.
