So in this video I'm going to show you some tips and tricks of the editing that I have learned from
my experience of being a YouTube and what things do work.
And to show you just a very basic things that you need to do while editing your video for you to gain
as much viewership as possible and to retain your audience for as long as possible.
Right now all of my editing is done on a Luma fusion on a pad and it doesn't matter actually which application
you you're doing it because any tap at least if it will allow you to have a different video and audio
tracks it can be done into any application like including Premier dive into resolve or anything else.
So as you see right here is what I use as my video editing track and this is one of my videos that I
edited for myself and for me one of my youtube channels and here I will show you some things for you
to understand what things that you need to do just step by step.
Very simple things I'm not going to teach you every single thing that I do right here because it's again
video by video basis but I'm gonna show you some few things very very basic things that you need to
do in all of your videos just to retain your audience your viewers attention for as long as possible
because this of your attention will allow you to gain larger and larger Watch time.
And of course it will transform you into subscribers in the future.
ALBRIGHT On this video.
So what I will show you right now is I'm going to show you just one project and this is the beginnings
or this was the beginnings of the other video.
The other footage that I showed you and what I said.
What do you see right here is uncut footage only cut that you see right here is right here because I
was recording with my camera and my camera has dealt me to four gigabytes.
And that yes and the file of it right here was four gigabytes already and here it just is you just stick
to this next file and nothing nothing else.
I have two video files right here both of the video files have their own audio as well so this is video
and audio combo.
So Ian let's indifferent footage as you in different video takes after you might see something something
like this instead of having look to video and to audio files like in my case I'm just going to use to
be default because this will be easier for me.
And as you see like I have one video file above another I'm not going to show it below V to file because
it doesn't matter but I'm using below to file because this is the footage from my computer that I'm
actually talking about in this video.
And it has the audio track as well because this track right here has a my my microphone audio recorded
as well.
So what I do right here first things first that you need to remember is that when you start recording
the video I do the clapping One two three and the same thing you can hear in the below a track I'm just
gonna let you hear if you want.
That's the one to test one two test one two.
But as you can see this tracks this voice from down here and the voice right up here does not match
up.
So what I will do is I will just take this track I'm random is gonna delete delete to try because I
want to edit afterwards because I don't need this right now and what I'm gonna do isn't when I match
up these tracks I'm going to put this one because the bass track is all the bass track and it cannot
be moved and I like the top track is connected to the bottom to a track I cannot do anything that I
cannot or this is just a little more fusion restrictions.
So you reach for other video editing software it might be a bit different.
So right now I just synchronized them just eyeballing it and what you hear right now is this test one
two test one two test one two almost almost to the point if I will decrease it I will see that it's
only one frame difference less than one frame difference that this bar is one frame long I cannot put
it in again better position unfortunately we got this for this software will not allow me to do so.
But I can just go right here and I can cut it right here.
No no I'm not gonna do this like that.
I'm going to cut it something like that.
I'd just like that.
I want to cut both tracks and delete the beginning and maybe I can I can somehow just get the top track
is just a bit forward and maybe just if I would do one track.
Yeah it just got a bit back so it is not working but it's it's good enough as the one to test one two.
Yeah I can see it's pretty good enough.
This is the synchronization of the audio.
You can do this on every single track if you own a single video if you're recording in separate microphone.
If I was recording on this microphone this audio right here then it would be a bit easier for me but
because I'm recording two separate video tracks it's still necessary to do so because this this way
form is what allows me to synchronize these two tracks.
Then what you will see is that I have a bunch of movements etc. because I've started recording way before
that I need more than that because I was doing a different likes of things that I was watching for hours.
I did just some curtain staff some preparation and then after that I started talking and want to talk
sometimes as you can see I have a bunch of pauses right here.
What you need to do is put away all the pauses from your video take them away.
You don't need them unless they have some practical purpose.
Don't worry about the jump cuts go on.
Don't worry about them.
Cut away all the sounds is no matter how short they are not not until not unless they are very unnatural
because sometimes I like this pause right here.
Can cutting out this pause right here may maybe a bit unnatural but I think it's still way too long
and I'm just gonna delete this man and what he will do is you're going to go through entire video just
like that and cut out all the silences smaller ones longer ones similar ones longer ones.
All the takes that you didn't like all the text that you read tube cetera etc cetera and you will come
in to something like that.
This will be something like the end result for your footage as you can see a bunch of similar small
tracks right here with bunch of stuff heading and what you will see here is something very very weird
as you can see I talk right here and then suddenly it jumps frame then continue it jumps back and then
it continue jumps forward jumps back and this thing this trick that I use right here is very very very
important that will allow you to let let's say control the attention span of your viewers because viewers
attention span is not very long.
People usually do not have very long attention span and you need to capture their attention like at
around five to seven seconds of your video.
And with this jump cut right here.
Two seconds later then six seconds later then eight seconds later then nine seconds later I change the
frames so much that every single frame in the mind of the subconscious of the viewer it is a completely
different story tells you complete different or in the resets their attention every single time and
more often you do not don't try to do it like often.
Then every three seconds the better because every single time you start the new sentence and you jump
the frame it is it it is basically resets the attention span of the viewers.
And this is the trick that allowed me to retain to change the audience retention much much much more.
I'd like to jump like from one minute to up to four and five minutes per video that I'm talking about
not the long videos I'm talking about seven eight minute long videos to have an average watch time or
four or five minutes.
It is very very very high.
And this little trick allowed me to do that because I do not have a lot of b roll I don't have a lot
of text added For that reason I don't have enough the other footage except me talking this jump cuts
like that and I don't have any transitions that you jump block from here to here.
Immediately these jump cuts allowed me to be a very interesting for my viewers for the longer time plus
because all the jump cuts were made on the points where I cut it out all the silences all of the mistakes
that I was making which is another very powerful trick that you can use like use the jump cuts and like
in what I do if you don't didn't understand what I do is that well this is the normal cut.
This is the normal normal for the normal my like frame and then when I have to switch to hear it I'm
going to show you by increase in size I change the framing basically I change from here to here.
That's exactly what I did.
That's a only thing that I did and it was it gets is extremely simple it can be done in any software
that allows you to work on your framing or it allows you to work on your different tracks it is a very
very very simple thing to do and very very powerful think all you need to do is just remember this frame
for example the frame that changed for me was to remember this frame go through here copy this one copy
attributes and then pace attribute to every second part second clip that I was using or every the first
it doesn't matter like I did it into different different parts and different clips and this this allowed
me to have quite more interesting video with far far far less bureau and you'll see the bureau on the
top right here look on the top lines perhaps more lines are all the bureaus that I have as you can see
look at other than these two tracks the bureaus are very very scarce but still it retains the audience
attention by a lot so use this jump cut you just just framing changes or if you could do the position
changes for example it can change the positions every frame it would be even better but yet the jump
cuts are just to do just frame changes are doing just fine.
So I would not worry about more than that other things that I would suggest you to do that at add different
elements for example when I start this one is you can see the element pops up right here that tells
all I who I am kind of like subtitle who I am so people would remember my name if they will come to
my video and after that I have a subscribe animation I'll try to include link to the subscribe animation
and try to include this every time like I don't remember how many how often I put I think I've put it
round every two minutes or something like that yeah it's right here I put it around every every one
minutes at the beginning and then every two minutes a week later three minutes if the video was way
too long.
So it this reminds people to subscribe.
You're not you don't need to tell to subscribe if you will tell us for you do you have your subscribe
it's better but sometimes you are getting tired of it.
You don't want to beg people to subscribe and this thing the simple animation just allows you to automate
this stuff when I do this one what I do in this one is that this is animation like all weird the green
screen and everything that I took right here and then what I do is just just move this one out of the
frame it in two frames bam it's gone it's very very simple thing to do and always use an end sequence
as well in this case because when you talk in the end like when I go out and like a talk in the end
subscribe animation and then screen added This is this are the parts where my onscreen elements will
show up and this will just if people will go to the end they're most likely to subscribe to your channel
so what the how you would not use this.
So always you dance arms all try to include this end screen of the all or I will try to include all
the screen places where you can find and that's good by the way you can find and screens on place it
as well.
Will one when I was talking about the logos and banners you can find there as well but if you want some
or something free I will try to include in the materials this one as well.
So this is very very simple thing.
Plus all tried to use these transitions as well transitions are very very good especially near the end
like when you go from the talking to this one to your end screen as you can see this transition happened
and all I did right here it's like how do how did I do this.
This might be a question it's very simple I just took this frame right here and made it smaller and
just put it in a on the screen in the corner there that's all I did and then I did transition from the
bottom screen as well bottom screen was where the this one was because that because this became smaller
everything else became transparent and for that reason at the bottom and screen just popped up right
here and they popped up together because I just synchronized them it's very easy like this is this is
just to transition the same transition done or two different tracks very very simple thing to do and
a highly highly highly suggest it it is so this where the tricks that you could you could use for your
videos again there are so many things that you could do with your video so so so many things that you
could do yeah.
One way it's that one more things that I do I forgot to talk about is the music always include the music
and do not go for the music on minus more than minus 35 that's about minus 40 to minus 35 depending
on what type of music you use is the sweet spot don't go more than minus thirty five and less than minus
40 it's because the minus is because I'm tale telling more or less a bit differently.
So this will be it for this lecture always try to retain viewers attention by changing whatever is happening
on the screen always try to show up something different something new every few seconds that change
if you don't have anything to show change the frame change the framing of shore up some tax or something
like that to try to do something to retain attention as long as possible.
This is the difference between the successful and not successful YouTube channel because the longer
you retain the attention of your audience the better and the more successful your channel be.
So this will be it for this one.
And let's go to the next one.
