Thousands of people have cultural appropriation eroticizeswatched Ronica Rupan make her Cucumber Lime Mint Aqua Fresca, her Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots, and her Citrus Herb Fire Sauce.

She'll also include shots from her DJI Osmo camera, which she likes because it can capture a wide variety of angles.

Adobe Premiere Pro

Ronica said she edits everything on her desktop in Premiere— even content that's intended for short-form video.

"Even when I edit something short, I'm still very desktop," she said, adding that even if she gets footage from her Meta glasses, which she occasionally uses, she'll upload that to her laptop for editing, too.
