So welcome to the practical section of our YouTube course, where I want to show you some of the practical
things that I do while maintaining my YouTube channel, and mainly in this lecture, we're going to
talk about how I edit my videos.
So here what you see right now on the screen is my Looma Fusion screed.
And of Fusion, if you don't know, is an ad video editing app for an iOS.
And you see right now, what do I have on my iPad screen at the moment?
And this is one of my videos, one of my more complex videos that I made just a few days ago, depending
whether it's a few days ago while I'm recording this.
And I wanted to show you the final product of the edited video and how it actually looks, you can go
and watch the video on my YouTube channel if you want.
It's called the 47 YouTube Tips for the Beginners.
You can watch the final product here, but this is how the video actually looks like.
And I want to break down all the elements for you to understand how the edited video looks and what
is my workflow will, of course, talked about the editing workflow in one of the previous lectures.
But here I'm going to just give you a more practical example of a bit more not very advanced, but a
bit more advanced video at the moment.
So I'm going to hide some of the things right now just for you or not be visible because it might be
a bit distracting for you.
So because I want to concentrate now more on the main tracks.
So I've hidden all the things, by the way, in the video editing software of your choice, it might
work and now it will look a bit different, but usually for any video editing software, it will look
something like that.
So it will have tracks like that.
You can have like interest on just like the fading and fade out.
You can see right here it will be more or less similar for the premiere, for the eventual result,
for final cut pro and probably for film or as well.
I'm not very familiar with film for.
But as far as what I've seen, it's practically the same there as well.
So what do we have a right here?
So this is the talking head video through and through from the beginning, all the way to the end.
This is the way I sit down and talk about the different tips.
And what I did with this video is that I recorded the video right here, which is the video track right
here and audio track separately.
So what do I mean by that at the video track is recorded in my camera.
In this case, it's GoPro and audio track is recorded in my computer, which is what you hear right
now as well.
I'm doing the same thing right here as well.
And what I did, I sync them all together.
How did I do that?
As you can see, the video track has the audio as well, because the GoPro has recorded my voice as
well.
And what I did is that I just matched them one by one.
I just match them with the waveform.
As you can see, the waveforms are similar on the top and the bottom.
And it was extremely, extremely simple thing to do this.
The first thing that I did, I put down entire tracks.
Usually it was like in Ptacek all the way through, like all the video track and audio track all the
way through.
And I put them together and just synchronized them.
This was the first thing that I did.
The next thing that I did, which you maybe you will do in a different way.
But what I did is corrected the colors because it doesn't look this way from the GoPro when you record,
because you can see the colors are more vibrant, more saturated.
Now they are a bit more a bit oversaturated as well.
But this is how the video looked originally.
This is exactly how my GoPro recorded the video, and this is through all the color correction that
I did.
So it was a bit too much.
Maybe I like upped the levels.
I upped the levels of the can see the shadows.
I just crushed the shadows a bit more.
I increased the brightness right here.
I increase the contrast, increase saturation and vibrance.
And the mainly this is the things that I did.
What I could do actually as well is that I could tinted the color much towards the green, because,
as you can see, without it, it has some magenta tint.
But this is the thing that I could do as well.
But this is the look that I came up with and this the look that I liked.
I'm going to delete this and I'm going to reapply this again because I have it on preset.
And all I need to do for the said.
They just press the presets right here.
And I have a YouTube process right now and just press it and it will have the preset done for me.
And this is the thing that I did first.
Then what I did is you can see I have a bunch of cuts right here like this.
You ignore the bottom track because this is the music track.
As you can see right here, there are a bunch of cuts.
This is all the bodies or the arms or the arms and all the unnecessary things, all the mistakes, all
the outtakes that.
I did.
It was all cut out all the way through the video, as you can see, there are a bunch of bunch, a bunch
of dozens and dozens and dozens and dozens of cuts.
I think it's around 300 cuts.
But the video itself is pretty pretty long as well.
Like the video itself is 24 minutes long.
And the footage that I recorded, like continuous footage was around, I think more than 30 minutes.
So this is how much footage was cut out from the video.
So next thing that I did is because I don't have a lot of Purell and I don't have a lot of footage moving
around.
I did do a lot of different shots of the different framing because you can see this is the full framing.
This is how the video actually was recorded.
And from time to time I was cropping in and just just increasing the size and just going back and just
going and going back, go in a bit to the side, the other side.
And as you can see, it gives you the dynamic of the movement.
It just changes the things.
And this is probably this was probably the most difficult part, Don, in the video.
And this is this is actually even without anything else, this will probably give you a 70 percent of
the quality of the video right here.
That's that's 70 percent of the quality of the video.
With this framing, changes will be practically done.
This is the most tedious part and most difficult part to do.
So when how you do the duties is just just in this case, I will just double click on go to the edit.
And depending on the end of the video editing software, it will be a bit different.
Go right here and now just zoom in just like that on.
Just move however I want.
Just make sure that it will not go over everything else.
That that's that's all that I need to do is extremely, extremely, extremely simple thing to do in
any editing software.
It's very, very simple thing to do.
So what I do usually is that I record in a bit higher quality than the end product is, meaning that
I usually recorded 40 and 40 P on four K and then a down scale it to the 10 ADP.
Usually that's what I do sometimes.
I just recorded an ADP because the video can be very long and I don't have a lot of storage and and
the future might struggle with a very high quality, very long video.
So I sometimes just record it and be and the quality lost is not that big anyways.
So this is what I do all the way through the video.
And you can see I have a marker's because this is my guess for myself.
I highly suggest you to do that as well, because for you to understand where you are in the video,
it will help you a lot.
Next thing that I do is I start adding berel.
So Buil are the things that are additional things that can be useful in this case.
By Berel, I mean the different footage and the different elements as well.
For example, in here I talk about how we got two thousand plus subscribers on the channel and here
to show the the real time subscriber number that that that's what it is.
Then I'll go forward and here I said, I'm going to show you the forty seven tips and just move four
to seven tips.
That's what I have.
And this is like live text like this is exactly what I said, except know from zero to one thousand
subscribers is exactly what I say.
I just, I just timed it in a way to show it like that.
Just, just gives your video some flair and some, some fire that you love.
And additionally, what I do is, as you can see, I have a transitions for some frames of force for
some scenes, because this is where I actually start talking about the different tips.
And as you can see, what I do have is a glitch transition.
It's not perfect, but because it happens a very, very, very fast and just is around for around ten
frames, which is the third of the second, we cannot see this tint before it actually starts to transition.
This is all that there is in this transition.
It's a video, transparent video on top of the the actual transition, which is right here.
That's what you see.
And then it just starts.
No and gives you can see in the corner right here, we have the numbers as well.
And it stays for until all the way until I'm going to talk to the tip about the tip and then we'll see.
Right here is another transition which is hidden.
I'm going to show it right now, another transition right here.
And as you can see, just transform the text on the screen and then transition back just to give it
more flair like this is this is how it looks without a transition that just goes like this and just
disappears and appears like that in transition makes it look a bit better and a bit more different.
It gives a flair that is non-existent in many, many cases.
And this is what I do all the way through.
The video just goes the one then goes into transition, transition and the two and the goes all the
way to the end of the video.
So what I do in the end is after I'm done with the forty seven tips.
I'm going to transition and just talk to you, given some altro, and then in the end I just ask for
subscribing and right here is that I have a transition like a longer transition, and it transitions
to the end screen.
So I do this and screen with the software called service called in the video.
And it just looks pretty amazing, this as this is all the premade video right here.
I don't do anything else because this is the video itself, but because the video itself was pretty
short.
I didn't like how short it was.
I just duplicated it again and again once, once more, just twice more.
Because I could do this because it just has, like, nice subscribed animation.
It looks pretty great for me.
So what I did afterwards is I added music so music can be like generated from a bunch of different sources.
In this case, I have a lo fi synth wave type of music.
And what your music should do with your video is that it should be flowing with your video as you talk
as well, meaning that if you change the subject, if you jump to a different topic, your music should
change as well, because it should indicate subconsciously to your viewer that music actually does something
has changed.
So I have one music for intro right here, and this is one track playing.
And what happens right here is that I'm going to show you just in a second right here as I start talking
about the tips, meaning that intro is over and now we are entered in the video, the video, the music
actually changes to the different type of music music.
I cannot show it to you right here.
But here in the beginning, it's more like happy and like a very fun party music.
And then it just switches to the very quiet and silent music just because to get you concentrate more
on what I talk about rather than on the music.
So what I do as well with the music is that I use audio docking option right here, meaning that the
audio is music is way lower.
It's like minus 30, minus up from minus 30 to minus 40 decibels.
Just remember, for the video editing software of your choice, minus 30 to minus 40 decibels is a great
option for me.
Just play around for yourself.
Which one is that?
And what I do with the music as well is I add the low pass filter as well.
Practically any video editing software can do that.
What does mean is that it cuts down all the high frequencies from music and adds and allows only low
frequencies to go through it.
So it to feel like you sound like the muffled sound on background, which is which gives you a very
good ambience.
So what I do in here is that I can see I have tips of to ten from here, start over here and here from
11 to 20.
What I do here is that when the music is over, I just loop the music and play it again.
And from the tips from 11 to 20, meaning that the second 10 tips, I change the music to the different
music.
So it's the exact same exact same genre.
But the music is different, just just to indicate for you just the flow of time and how it actually
changed now that we are on a different type because different music, because you have the same music
over and over again, it will become boring very, very quickly.
And when you get the different music, it kind of feels like that you're watching a different video
now, which gives you a very good feel the same for that.
Twenty one to thirty, thirty one to forty and forty one to forty seven which you here and here.
Right here.
The other music, it reverts to the more upbeat music, more synth wave music.
In this case the same was as it was an intro just to indicate that yep.
The video is getting over.
And what I did right here is that because I have an audio docking option, it did it automatically for
myself.
But you can do this for yourself as well here.
As you can see, the voice is over and it's a bit out of s sync as well.
But it's OK.
It's it did not feel that way in the video.
The one music is when the audio is over, the music up the volume.
So you what you can do is you can do a ramp right here.
I mean that you can slowly allow your music to go up from here to here.
Oh, I shouldn't have touched it from here to here.
And this is the music will go up in the volume and now the music will have a full blasting volume up
all the way to the end.
And in the end, as you can see, slowly dissolving it to the silence.
This will give you a lot of lot of a lot of great, great feelings for the music.
So one hundred percent use this.
One last thing that I wanted to show you is that use in addition elements as well.
For example, in my case, I don't use the intros for my videos like logo into the things I use it in
the past, but I don't use it anymore because this thing right here as you can, you can create for
yourself this thing right here in the corner is more than enough for itself.
OK, Nick Dixon, he's online instructor and a YouTube.
That's that's what it is.
That's what it tells you.
And it's extremely, extremely simple thing to understand.
And other thing that is important is that when this is over, I have the subscriber animations going
on.
As you can see, this is subscriber animation and this subscriber animation plays from time to time,
as you can see.
Where is it if I will be able to find it or have it on a tape track?
As it plays it right here as well, and from time to time, the subscriber animation places not always,
but every minute or every two minutes.
This subscriber animation, please use this.
This is if you forget to ask people to subscribe, which you shouldn't use this because this is like
subconsciously telling people to subscribe, which is incredibly, incredibly powerful thing for you
to have.
Like you use it 100 percent all the time because it's very, very, very, very useful, as you can
see here, subscriber animation, very useful near the end on the end screen.
Always have the subscriber animation.
So in my case, in my screen, because what I do here is I have previous viewer here, I have recommended
video out here and I have subscribed animation subscribe logo right here.
I used to subscribe animation here as well.
So I always ask people to subscribe.
So this is the breakdown of the video, I will try to do a different breakdowns for my different videos
and added to the course one by one.
So for you to understand how I'm actually doing this and what you need to concentrate on while editing.
So remember the cutting and reframing, if you have only talking at video, is probably 70 percent of
entire video and and 70 percent of the success of the entire video do this 100 percent and all the rest
all the little details that you lad like the numbering in the corner text, the transitions, all the
little details will build up your video in huge, huge, huge way.
So always, always 100 percent use this for your own video.
So this will be for this one.
Let's go.
The next one that.
