How to create a Instagram Square Video in Final Cut Pro 10

I was searching for a simply remedy to this issue that didn't involve me learning how to use a new software at short notice. This beauty blogger shared her tips on how to easily create a square video in Final Cut Pro 10. I used photoshop to recreate the size of my video and created an transparent square to use as a guide in Final Cut Pro and saved as a png file. I compounded the clips once I selected all the film clips for my 15 second instagram video. I dragged and dropped the png file into my project folder and then dragged and dropped the image above the compounded clip. Select the compounded clip and use the transform setting in the inspector to move it around til it is centered under the transparent square and save. It's pretty simple. Special thanks goes out to Lauren Mechelle for creating a step by step tutorial that you can view on her site. Click here for more details

As a business owner, I love to make my life easy with certain things since time is very precious. I was wondering if gmail had a way to schedule emails to go out at a certain time so I can stop replying to emails on the weekend and make them appear that they were sent the next business day. I ran across they app called Boomerang, the most awesome app ever. It's also available as a phone app. No more replying at inconvenient late hours or forgetting to reply to an email on Monday from Friday.

It's super easy to install. Go to their site Boomerang while you're logged in to your gmail account.

Click "Compose" to create an email. Click "Send Later" to schedule the time. Boomerang will request for you to "accept". Click "accept".

Click on the calendar to the right in the text field to change the date or place the cursor on the time to manually input time. There are other options on the top to select when you'll like it to go out. Tomorrow morning, in 2 days and so forth.

Click "Confirm" to schedule email.

To view or change scheduled email, click on the boomerang icon in the top right corner and click "Manage scheduled messages".

You can click on "Messages to Send" to view and edit. Enjoy!
