Tips for Better Brags
Say what you're doing!
It's great when you get lots of bragging rights. Improve yours by starting your video with your name and what you're about to do. It'll mean more people stick around to see what happens - and click cool.
Give your brag a descriptive title...
...and description. Brag titles such as 'My cool video' or 'super alex' are likely to draw less attention than brags with more descriptive titles. You'll get more bragging rights if the brag title is reflective of the cool stuff you did in it. 'Jump off my bike into a pool' would be a more descriptive title than the prior examples.
Use the bragster outro!
...all the best bragster's do!
Light it up
People need to see what you're doing so make sure you let them see! Even the very worst camera can be improved if what it's shooting has a good light source on it.
Faster Uploads
Use a wired connection where possible
Obviously we understand that this might not always be possible, but if you can (and you know what you're doing), get your internet through an ethernet cable rather than a wireless adapter. Although, if you have no idea what we said it's probably best you don't go fiddling with your setup.
Use one of our recommended browsers
For the best upload experience, Bragster recommends one of the below, standards-compliant browsers.
Free Editing Software
Bragging with style ain't expensive
You don't need to be a great bragster! Most operating systems come with their own free video editing software. If you didn't already know, here's what you may have tucked away on your hard drive.
