Short, reel-style videos are one of the easiest ways to bring your experience to life - and you don't need fancy kit or editing skills to make them work. Here's how to find ideas, title them well, and get them filmed and uploaded.

How should I record a video?

You can use the Ambassador App to create, upload, and submit video content.

Most smartphones will be able to record high-quality footage and capture good audio. Not only that, but using a smartphone will allow you to film on the go and without the need for any special equipment.

There are a number of free editing apps - but editing isn't necessary. We'd rather you submit something true to you and your experiences, than a super polished and edited video!

If you do prefer to edit, a few options are CapCut, iMovie, InShot, and VN Video Editor. Each app offers something different, so find the one that works best for you.


How do I upload video content?

Simply open the app, tap Create, and tap Video. From there, you can select Take a video to film something then and there, or choose Upload from gallery to add a video you've already taken.

🎥 PLEASE NOTE: Only videos that are less than 90 seconds and 500MB can be uploaded! This means your videos are quick, digestible, and serve up relevant content quickly.
