Easy Video Mixing with Your Smartphone Camera

Sus Schmitt

You can easily mix a video with just your iPhone (or comparable device). Using a homemade “mixer” like this also means you don’t have to learn how to use software to mix your video. What if you used this “mixer” to have a conversation with a disciple to share with your ministry partners? and more… Continue reading Easy Video Mixing with Your Smartphone Camera
