Could your staff use a little help in improving its use of the iPhone in story coverage?
California’s Ventura County Star has pioneered the use of iPhones as a mobile newsroom, training most of the staff in using the device for basic video and audio capture, editing and transmission.
Editor Joe Howry and Visuals Editor Ray Meese and his staff have developed a kit of accessories and software enabling them to produce Web-quality packages in the field without the need for a laptop computer. Howry and Meese will lead the discussion.
During this webinar, you will learn:
- Tips, tricks and accessories to maximize the video, audio and photo capabilities of the iPhone.
- The best apps for editing in the field — fine tune your photos, create your audio slideshows and edit your videos wherever you are.
- Quality and timeliness — transmitting speed comes at the cost of image-quality reduction. We'll explore a variety of options for uploading content.
