A platform-agnostic checklist for capturing better clips
@sunset_strip· 1w ago 6 min read
Good clips are mostly good habits. This checklist works whatever you capture on.
Before you record
- Check your storage. High-quality capture fills drives quickly.
- Pick a consistent resolution and frame rate and stick with it.
- Turn off notifications so nothing pops up mid-take.
While you record
- Start a few seconds early and finish a few seconds late; trimming is easy, re-shooting isn't.
- Keep the camera steady unless motion is the point.
After you record
- Give the clip a descriptive title and say what to look for.
- Upload to a supported provider, then share the link here. VICE305 never hosts video. We only embed links from trusted providers.

Good point, thanks for the extra context.
Same here! Can't wait to compare notes with everyone.
That makes sense. I hadn't considered that.
Appreciate the sources. Makes it much easier to follow along.

Really interesting. I'd love to see more evidence either way.
