Trawl through some of the gazillions of videos on Vine and you’ll find that while some entertain, a good number of them are six seconds too long.

Zach King (aka FinalCutKing), however, falls firmly into the former category, with the editing wizard building up quite a following with his growing library of mind-bending video trickery, with routines that include pulling a kitten from a computer screen, brushing his teeth without using his hands, and eating a car.

Currently a senior in film school at California’s Biola University, King has been working on his videoing skills for some time, already winning over fans on YouTube with a bunch of hits that includes Jedi Kittens Strike Back, a 50-second production featuring….er….Jedi kittens (striking back), which has notched up almost 10 million views.

But it’s his six-second Vine videos which have most recently caused something of a stir online. Perfect for the medium, his editing skills and creative mind come to the fore, combining spectacularly to produce a series of mesmerizing routines guaranteed to leave you scratching your head wondering how on earth he did it.

If you’re on Vine, you can check out King’s videos @Zach King. You can also find them online here.

And how about these ones to get you started….

How to make a GIF from a YouTube video

Sometimes, whether you're chatting with friends or posting on social media, words just aren't enough -- you need a GIF to fully convey your feelings. If there's a moment from a YouTube video that you want to snip into a GIF, the good news is that you don't need complex software to so it. There are now a bunch of ways to make a GIF from a YouTube video right in your browser.

If you want to use desktop software like Photoshop to make a GIF, then you'll need to download the YouTube video first before you can start making a GIF. However, if you don't want to go through that bother then there are several ways you can make a GIF right in your browser, without the need to download anything. That's ideal if you're working with a low-specced laptop or on a phone, as all the processing to make the GIF is done in the cloud rather than on your machine. With these options you can make quick and fun GIFs from YouTube videos in just a few minutes.

Step 1: Find the YouTube video that you want to turn into a GIF (perhaps a NASA archive?) and copy its URL.

I paid Meta to ‘verify’ me — here’s what actually happened

In the fall of 2023 I decided to do a little experiment in the height of the “blue check” hysteria. Twitter had shifted from verifying accounts based (more or less) on merit or importance and instead would let users pay for a blue checkmark. That obviously went (and still goes) badly. Meanwhile, Meta opened its own verification service earlier in the year, called Meta Verified.

Mostly aimed at “creators,” Meta Verified costs $15 a month and helps you “establish your account authenticity and help[s] your community know it’s the real us with a verified badge." It also gives you “proactive account protection” to help fight impersonation by (in part) requiring you to use two-factor authentication. You’ll also get direct account support “from a real person,” and exclusive features like stickers and stars.
