App Review: Cameo


Cameo is a video editing service that allows you to shoot short clips, edit them together, add effects and audio and then share with friends. Cameo works hand in hand with Vimeo, a video sharing service. Because Cameo works hand in hand with Vimeo, the privacy policy is the same for both services. 

Before you are able to set up an account with cameo you have to create a profile, or in other words you have to give them some personal information. That information includes, you name and email address. Apart from the initial setup you agree that they have access to any of the information that is included in any videos you create with Cameo and share through Vimeo. The information they collect may be sent to servers located in the United States and other countries around the world.


My favorite part about this app is that it is easy! You record little six second scenes, sometimes it would be nice if they could be longer, and then stitch them together in whatever order you like. You can trim scenes to make them shorter, play music over the top of the scene or allow for the original audio to be a part of the cameo clip. When you decide to create your own Cameo you get to pick a theme, create a title and choose audio to go along with your two minute clip. Another downfall is the limited audio, but for a FREE app, it gets the job done.
