support@stuffyoucanuse.orgDo I need special equipment or editing skills?
No. A phone is fine, and you don't need to edit anything. Our team does the final edit, including any titles or graphics.
How do I get paid?
We pay $100 for every video once you're accepted, and we'll share the payment details with you then.
Can I show kids or teens in my videos?
Follow your church's media policy and only show kids and teens whose parents have given permission. Plenty of great videos show just you, your hands or the room.
