  3. Endless statistics available on how much is uploaded each, hour, day etc. It never ceases to amaze me the types of procedural, instructional videos people make, even for the most obscure topics.

  4. I used the edit film together function - it wasn't really that good as the quality of the film went right down. It was useful as an interim measure though before doing it properly. ~Liz http://www.lizbrownleepoet.com
