How to Embed Video on Your Blog from iPhone via Facebook

Congratulations! You filmed your first video blog post! Now you want to get it from your phone into your blog, easily. There is actually an easier way than YouTube, if you don’t already have a channel set up over there – Facebook! You already have an account and they allow you to embed the HD video right from your profile.

To get the video onto Facebook from your iPhone, first check out last week’s post about How to Lose 10 Pounds Instantly When Filming Yourself with an iPhone. The part about uploading to Facebook is about 2 minutes into the video.

Here is the video I shot on the iPhone. Please ignore the large nose.

And here is a video tutorial about how to actually get the video from Facebook onto your blog. And also please ignore my serious cold and heavy breathing.

The video contained every excruciating detail, so here it is in 4 simple steps:

  1. Upload video from iPhone to your personal profile in Facebook
  2. Change privacy setting on video to public
  3. Copy embed code from video (click embed video tab in Facebook)
  4. Paste embed code into HTML tab in your blog

It’s so easy, even I could do it! No editing necessary. Just talk into your camera, upload to Facebook, and embed.

How to Hold a Camera or iPhone for a DIY Wedding Video

Ok, I know this sounds like a “duh” moment, but the question really does come up a lot. Hopefully everyone knows not to put their fingers over the lens, so I won’t talk about that. But I see people send in sideways video sometimes, so I thought it might help to talk about how to hold the camera.

Think about it this way, when you watch tv, are the videos taller than they are wide? No. When you watch TV do they have black bars along the side of the video? No. So why do people sometimes hold the camera or iPhone that way when shooting wedding video? I think it’s because brides and grooms are taller than they are wide. Duh, again.

No worries, we can fix it on your feature length wedding video, but it does take a little longer to get back to you, and doesn’t look quite as good. Here’s a little video tutorial I created to show you the right way to hold a camera for your DIY wedding video.

How to Create a DIY Wedding Video using an iPhone and Cameras

You spent the past year designing every detail of your gorgeous wedding… and you want to remember all the details on your 10th anniversary. So you decided to take the plunge and do a DIY wedding video. Storymix just made it whole lot easier – with our WeddingMix iPhone app.

Sure, anyone can take video on an iPhone, but if you want to create an edited wedding video, that’s another story. First of all, you get to have the joyful adventure of hunting down all the clips from your friends. They put them on Facebook, but how do you actually get them on your computer? Let’s say they email them to you (after you remind them for 6 months). Now the clips are too small for you to edit and have it look good. That’s why Storymix is offering our app.

You, your friends, family… everyone can begin shooting video as soon as you place your order. You can even set up a shot list in the app, so they know what scenes are most important to you. All the clips can be uploaded right to your WeddingMix project AND to Facebook.

Ok, now here’s where it gets cool. You can ALSO get the HD cameras for the wedding (the app is free with any camera package). Why would you want cameras if you already have the app? Because it’s much easier to take long clips on a camera. So, if you want your entire first dance, ceremony, toasts, etc. the cameras definitely come in handy. In fact, you can even take a camera on your honeymoon.

After the wedding, everyone uploads their clips and you send back the cameras in our prepaid mailer. All the clips, get added to your storyboard online. Then you get to direct your movie. We do the editing, but you get to be the director. You can tell us which scenes are most important, what titles you’d like, etc. Then Storymix takes care of the hard stuff- the actual editing.

As you’ll see in the video below, now you can begin filming your wedding story as soon as you say “Yes, I’ll marry you.” As soon as you order any of our WeddingMix packages, you can download the app and begin taking video clips to include in your final wedding video. In fact, your fiance can even include the proposal!

 

Storymix makes it really simple to get the wedding video you want, told through the eyes of those who love you the most. Download the WeddingMix wedding video iPhone app today to try it out for free.
