VERY RELATABLE! great video with great info, as always. just one note: the opposite of pro isn't lazy. absolutely agree with everything you said, but the comparison is with an amateur editor. might even be a better word for the algorithm (;
@@ryanavelar2711 and especially how can you not see that making a video (having product placement is okay) where you say that all your problem as an editor would be solved with only a 3060 laptop when today the only 2 true upgrades for editing is either m1 products or 3080/90 desktop... I mean how can you not see that your video is turning into a full product placement when you make a topic about pro editor but recommand low/mid tier laptop!? 😂
I have been content creating for friends/small businesses for the last 4 years. To Chris's point at the end of the video, video editors/content creators ARE NEEDED by many businesses currently. I just left 12 years in retail sales to take creating full time for a mortgage company. what a breath of fresh air! id rather adjust cuts for my new bosses than help Betty reset her Apple ID for the 4th time in one week 😂 stepping stones my friends haha
Hi Chris. You say you are creating for a mortgage company now. I also have worked in mortgage compliance and also taking up videography. I really want to talk to you!
One tip for archiving that project: Project Manager Use the Project Manager function in Premiere Pro. This creates a folder with a copy of the project file and allows you to select the sequences you want to save. It then copies all the assets used in those sequences to that folder. This way you keep all the relevant data and can delete the rest... unless you need to keep all the clips you shot instead of the selects.
I can't believe I ignored this to create it manually. Went to Fullsail and instead of showing how awesome this is, was told to build the backups manually. Thank you.
@@Digitallifeconcepts I'm sure that's a good skill to have if you're using software that doesn't have this feature. If you do it manually, then you absolutely know you have averything you need to keep. I get why they focused on that, do develop the skill. I think beginning editors should learn linear first. The mindset that develops of building the edit in your head before you start helps people become faster editors. You get the sequence done, then use the features of non-linear to finesse it.
I would somewhat rephrase this to Beginner Vs. Pro Video Editor -- the reason being, pros can still be lazy sometimes. Case in point-- I've been an editor for 9 years... for client projects, I keep everything neat in a folder, but for quick edits, especially for myself, it's just not worth my time to go that extra mile for a piece of content I know I'll never need to use again. So, I think the distinction there is that pros (hate to call myself a pro, but I have done this for a long time) know when it's more efficient to be lazy, when it's not worth it to put in the time on certain things, whereas beginners wouldn't... it takes time to know what works and what doesn't.
I guess thats what makes a difference. At some point, as an editor, you learn to adjust your workflow very quickly. You see a project quickly and you can make quick changes to earn HOURS of yours and your clients time. Sometimes the lazy way just gets the job done very quickly. For example, a 15 seconds tiktok. Im not gonna make audio buses, or fiddle with tons of layers. I guess you just learn to adapt, to earn time.
Wearing different hats actually gets me through creative blocks. For example, if I'm having a block about the story I'll switch to something a bit more mindless like color, sound design, etc. and usually that time away from the story allows me to come back to it with some new ideas. Arguably more efficient than spinning in circles about something. I'd probably call this video inexperienced editor vs. pro editor.
The most important thing to break out of creative blocks is to write down the idea (what it is about), and the premise (what message you want to give) of your project. Do it on a piece of paper. Write the spine of that project so that you always can come back to that and finish what you started. Especially in the first phase of editing (the story, and the length) if you work on other areas, it can become messy to cut off, some parts you can really end up liking because you put work, but as a professional, you really have to murder your darlings sometimes. Hope that tip helps you as much as it helps me!
Great video man. I love that you sprinkle in a little bit of humour and entertainment through your content, it makes it so much more enjoyable to watch. Question on the storage - do you keep your raw footage after you make a UA-cam video or do you delete it?
Im with Andres on this one, never delete anything! If you work with a ton of 4k, 8k etc, then a good NAS will be a very worthy investment. If you're storage needs are not as massive then a large external harddrive like WD Easystore or G-Drive should do, and just buy a new one when the old one fills up. Cloud storage is also worth looking into incase your house burns down (knock on wood). These have been my strategies anyways 🙅♀
I guess what I find difficult about the “wearing different hats” tip is that the way I edit is more of a free form approach. I’m not really sure what the video will become from the get go, so I add things as I’m inspired. I definitely have an idea going into it but it usually never ends up being what I initially set out to do, in the best way lol. So for personal projects I don’t know if I find that tip to be helpful. However, when I’m editing for clients, that’s EXACTLY what I do. Videos I make for clients usually have a more formulaic approach to them so there isn’t really a lot of room for super creative ideas. Good video!
Should also note, that video editing is a lot like 3D design. I'm an editor and VFX compositor, and many things I do involves Cinema4D and working with 3D rendering... you make pass after pass after pass on what you want, not all at once. First render the model, then the shadow, then the alpha, then the ambient occlusion, then the global illumination, then any particle effects you made. It all is a step-by-step process. Also side side note, never work with footage from the C:\ drive if you can. Premiere and AE are disk hogs, so if you can, put footage on a different disk location.
I honestly thought #1 & #2 was part of the workflow, for most people, from the get go. Always made sense to me to finish what you started before moving on, and to stay organised so life was made easier down the track. Those other tips are SUPER helpful tho!
Scenario 2: Just fasten your external drives to the lid of your laptop with velcro strips to keep them from going anywhere when you're using them (black blends in nicely it seems). I regularly hitchhike with my laptop thousands of KM across Canada every summer and have had zero concerns about my external drives being knocked off any tables or any of that crap in the 3 or 4 years i've been doing that. It also just frees up a bit of room on whatever table/surface your working from :)
I fully went into this episode thinking that it would make me feel like a lazy editor and what it actually did was make me realize I had really good habits.
Love the hat-switching visual analogy. It's a bad habit I sometimes fall back into. Especially when I want to nail the hook of the video. Except the hook should be made after everything else is made
Scenario 1 really spoke to me. I have never gone to schoool for editing, but have been saving up to audit some college classes for editing hopefully this fall or winter. But anyways, I've been the guy that changes his hat every few clips. Thanks for this! I think now I will be able to get better results and finish quicker. I have found that I will always decide what song to use AFTER getting all my A-roll organized so that I can then know how to cut and adjust my B-roll. All my edits are either for YT or shorter social media videos, so I will cut to the beat most of the time.
Yo that first part legit made me think - Has this dude been watching me?? 😂 I’m 2 videos deep and so glad I’ve come across your video. Although my first experience with editing (32 years old and haven’t touched a laptop in a few years 😅) it’s been extremely fun learning something new but also painfully slow haha. I’ll get better 💪 Shot for the content bro 🤙
Opening skit? DaVinci Resolve. yes I know there's a learning curve. but with the money you save by not needing premiere/after effects and the wealth of high quality tutorials on youtube by people like Casey Faris, it's well worth the switch.
I actually do an initial sound edit at the track level for each audio track, that way I can catch spiking as I go later. It also allows me to hear anything odd during my story pass. You should not have to edit audio on the clip unless you have a very bad audio capture situation.
I hopped back into a half edited video after 10 months of nothing and subconsciously learnt about 3 of these tips, my highest recommendation is to go slow and don't burn out, keep it interesting and keep it going.
While i find your tips great, i really think the distinction should be "pro vs amateur". I just started editing and I found myself in a few of those mistakes you mentioned. I would not call myself lazy at all. But i would call myself an amateur. So that is a bit unfair and also just wrong in my opinion. But thanks for the tips 😀
I'm so glad that I passed the first test! 🙌 to me, it was always the best way to get the "foundation" of the film done and then go back and get all the B roll, sound effects, and extras!
Excellent video all around Chris. Excellent advice here. Even on the items I knew your perspective helped reinforce some of those points. Great lighting.
Easy solution for storage is a 2 bay enclosure with a built in RAID controller. Slap 2 4TB SSD's (or HDD's if you don't need the speed) and set it to RAID 1. Golden. If you do a little looking you can find a 4 bay hdd enclosure with RAID 3 support and USB C which is ideal for a solo editor. Either of these are a very easy and hastle free solution. If you're doing client work you should even have a backup of your RAID array because if the unit fails you don't want to be sitting around doing nothing.
i just started video editing for about 2 months now and its one heck of a ride.....It can be overwhelming sometimes but its people like you who give us reasons to keep going.Thanks so much
On the part about the file management, what you can do with most editing software you can save the project and all the files accosiated with it into a folder automatically definitely saves a lot of time
Chris, the reason I don’t buy camera gear through Best Buy is despite them being a vendor for American Airlines, they don’t reward miles for buying cameras, drones, or computers. I only found this out after buying an Air 2S and not getting my miles. As a wildlife photographer and videographer, it’d be great if they’d have those miles so I could save money in my travels for content creation.
Are those dediceated external SSD's are fast enough to able to edit off of them!? I feel like having M2 drives designated on the laptop for edit would be the best choice right? I am only asking because I was thinking about having giant external SSD drives to able to switch between Desktop/Laptop.
I find it interesting that a lot of these tips are things that I naturally just developed over the course of years on UA-cam. #1 - I've trended towards scripting videos and recording everything 1 one long clip from the start. Cutting out bloopers and silences essentially just left me with a story pass to add B roll and graphics to. #2 - Transitioning from a Laptop to Desktop and working with multiple hard drives with limited capacities just naturally lends to learning better practices for asset management (I keep backups of my main stock footage folders and have a few dedicated archival drives #3 - Upgrading my hardware for game development purposes and having an IT background(niche case I suppose) naturally lent itself towards this as I already understood PC specs and checking the software-hardware dynamics came naturally. Buying an NVIDIA GPU to leverage premiere and raytracing comes hand in hand #4 - Can't speak to this one much as I'm still adapting to new formats. Admittedly, this can be a bit more natural if you grew up with social media and subconsciously imitate what you see already on set platforms #5 - You never really get a "perfect" grasp on this. Admittedly, with enough videos made in a set style, you learn your tendencies. My old B-Roll heavy videos took around 1-2 hours per minute of video to create. Switching to having A roll literally improved efficiency by over 100%, allowing me to literally 3X my video release rate while still having time to do game development. Great tips overall. Would have loved to have seen a video like this 8 years ago 🤣. If there's a bigger tip overall, I suppose the #0 tip to differentiate a Lazy vs a Pro editor, it's: a Pro Editor edits A LOT of videos 😅.
thanks man, just did a test edit and realized my more narrative style is != to dynamic youtube style and that i still have a bit to learn for those techniques
As always great relevant information that bring value. I'm constantly learning different and updated techniques from you and the few others that are awesome enough to share. thanks for the great video
I’m still using ipad air 2(2014 model) to edit my videos with Adobe Premier Rush. Seems like GPU is the reason why whenever I run my videos while editing, will lag or have unpleasant sounds. The time taken to export a 4k resolution 5 mins video will take 30 mins or longer
Chris, nice job on this video. Made me laugh because a lot of it was true. Hey, curios if in your circle your starting to see more folks using Stream Decks to speed up editing? Until recently had no idea how timesaving they could be with shortcut mapping. Again…nice job on this video! 👍👍👍
I seriously needed to see this video. So much of what you say is spot on and should have been more obvious... but didn't process in my brain until I heard you say it. Your tips and advice are life changing and save so much time.
1. That 1st skit was comedy gold for any editor. ( Even da vinci editors) (I'm 50/50) Dude, I totally never realized I do the method of add add add and press play.. Thank you for helping me realize this.
So much better with my file management. Work off the SSD and organize all my footage. Still will occasionally get lazy and just throw in an effect from my downloads, but I store it afterwards
How relatable is the opening skit?
Don’t use premier or after effects but still very very relatable 😂
Don't even get me started...
Resolve has something similar. But it usually just self-destructs. ☠️
VERY RELATABLE! great video with great info, as always. just one note: the opposite of pro isn't lazy. absolutely agree with everything you said, but the comparison is with an amateur editor. might even be a better word for the algorithm (;

As always great relevant information that bring value. I'm constantly learning different and updated techniques from you and the few others that are awesome enough to share. thanks for the great video
I'm not ashamed of being the editor on the left side of the thumbnail..😂😂
I was gutted we didnt get to see the audio hat, wanted to see if it was in phase :D
Cris : How much promotion does your laptop need in one video?
MSI : Yes....
Lol yup.
Great intro Skit!!
Super valuable. Thanks, Chris!!
I’m still using ipad air 2(2014 model) to edit my videos with Adobe Premier Rush. Seems like GPU is the reason why whenever I run my videos while editing, will lag or have unpleasant sounds. The time taken to export a 4k resolution 5 mins video will take 30 mins or longer
SUCH great tips, thanks so much! Plus the comedy in this is fabulous xD
When the video editing tutorial is also a video edit
Chris, nice job on this video. Made me laugh because a lot of it was true. Hey, curios if in your circle your starting to see more folks using Stream Decks to speed up editing? Until recently had no idea how timesaving they could be with shortcut mapping. Again…nice job on this video! 👍👍👍
it was relevant to talk about THE MSI NVIDIA GRAPHICS 1080 GTX LAPTOP once but you stuck it into like 4-5 parts of the video, its hilarious
I seriously needed to see this video. So much of what you say is spot on and should have been more obvious... but didn't process in my brain until I heard you say it. Your tips and advice are life changing and save so much time.
This video really taught me so much. I have a lot to learn and I am glad to have resources like this. Thank you.
Damn he attacked me throughout lmao, i'll change how i go about things now. Thanks Chris!
haha loved the intro. Same here
1. That 1st skit was comedy gold for any editor. ( Even da vinci editors) (I'm 50/50)
Dude, I totally never realized I do the method of add add add and press play..
Thank you for helping me realize this.
5:05 I really felt that
This is the most relatable video I've ever seen
I needed this! Thank you
This was a great video. I am learning to move more towards a pro video editor. I try to plan more as well.
So much better with my file management. Work off the SSD and organize all my footage. Still will occasionally get lazy and just throw in an effect from my downloads, but I store it afterwards
