VideoTweet is a new utility from the folks over at Arctic Whiteness that brings Twitter sharing to Final Cut Pro X. Appearing as a destination within Final Cut Pro X’s export options, it’s a quick way to get video from a project to your Twitter followers.
Final Cut Pro X integration is just one part of what VideoTweet brings to the table. The app is also a standalone tool that makes it possible to select a specific portion of a video, enable or disable its audio, and embed the video inside a tweet.
VideoTweet supports all QuickTime compatible formats, including: .mov .mp4 and .m4v. It also features an extension that allows you to share videos from the desktop, in the Photos app and elsewhere.
VideoTweet includes an OS X Share Extension
As someone who edits video on a regular basis, I value its ability to share from Final Cut Pro X. Just select VideoTweet as a destination, and the project will export to VideoTweet ready to share. You can configure multiple Twitter accounts inside the app, and add a snippet of text to lend context to the videos that you share.
Video walkthrough
Previously, my workflow was fairly convoluted, but VideoTweet has helped to streamline my efforts. Even if you aren’t a Final Cut Pro X user, you may still find it to be a handy tool for quickly uploading video clips to Twitter.
VideoTweet is available for free via the developer’s website. The free version includes a hashtag and backlink in tweets in order to help Arctic Whiteness spread the word. Users can opt for a paid, white label version as well. The paid version is only $3.41 and removes the hashtag and link from your tweets.
If you’re looking for a way to quickly upload videos to Twitter, then VideoTweet is worth considering. Check out the free version to see if you like it; you can always pay for the white label version at a later time.

I’d love to mess around with this. I’ve kind of outgrown iMovie.
However Final Cut Pro is ~$400, a bit more than I’m going to pay for something to mess around with.
I wish there was something half way. More than free but limited, but less than hundreds of dollars and Pro Level.
A video editor in the $50-$100 range that was a level up from iMovie.
Trouble is I haven’t found anything yet.
There’s other free but limited Video Editors and other Pro level ones with multi hundred dollar price tags.
Ideas?
FCP X is $299 and comes with a free trial.
I just checked and it said $399 in Canada. How limited is the free trial?
N/M I checked and the free trial is a 30 day limit.
You forgot the part about getting fresh coffee out of it, just not brazilian blend, it paying YOU to use it, only in Yen, it stroking your…
IOW: that was the most moronic post in a long while. You either NEED something and PAY for it, or you DON’T. iMovie IS a “lite” version of FCP X! Wanting to mingle with the “pros” but doesn’t even want to foot a ridiculous $299 U.S. bill for it. Wow. How painfully, embarrassingly pathetic.
Never said I wanted to do Pro level work. Indeed I specifically said I neither have the the NEED for all the top end functions, nor the equipment to make use of them. I just am chafing under the limitations and general kludgyness of iMovie. I’ve outgrown the “lite” version. I find myself more and more fighting with it rather than creating with it. It has a lot of limitations. I also specifically said that I was willing to pay for something. I just can’t justify $399, yes apparently you also missed where I said it was $399, not $299, in Canada. I was just hoping someone might have a suggestion for a mid range tool for video editing.
It must be nice living in your Black/White Yes/No Good/Evil absolutist, no compromise, no sympathy or compassion or understanding world. You never have to put yourself in anyone else shoes. However, the rest of us live in the real world, full of pastels and greys, where we try to help each other out.
Your type can’t be helped, that’s the point. Nothing can be powerful and at the same time FREE enough. Sign of the times, period. If you need it, BUY IT. Just don’t lament about some pastel malarky. FACT: you’re not going to find anything more powerful and capable than iMovie without… you might want to sit down for this… PAYING for it. Any and all options can also easily be googled.
I was going to respond, but what5’s the point obviously you have no interest in reading or having a dialogue, just spewing your virtual.
I’m unsubscribing from this three.
Make sense and/or spell check much?
