Hey for some reason, at 13:29, your audio does this really weird glitching, playback delay, bouncing left and right audio effect. I assume it's just a rendering glitch but I got so confused when I listened back to it.
I really appreciate that your first tip was about pre-production. It's something I think most content creators overlook, but it's literally the blueprint for your entire project. You can figure out and fix so many production/content issues with good pre-production that would otherwise be a nightmare to handle while shooting or editing. Taking the time to do scripts, draw out storyboards, and plan your production cycle really is the key to a smooth workflow.
I was the guy asking about the programming possibilities--thank you for taking the time to answer! Sounds like I need to focus on pre-production planning more, and I'll take a look at Davinci's Python integrations. That idea around automating some post-processing behind a hot-key sounds good, too. Thanks!
I love to use separate audio channels in my recording output... Channel 1 is my audio mixed for livestream, Channel 2 is the game audio, 3 is my mic and 4 the Discord / multi-play chat. In editing, I use channel 1 for my first pass quick cut edit, then throw that channel out and use the separated ones so I can cut out stupid things I say without affecting the gameplay audio, cut out when "Dave" swears or coughs and even move something I said to a better place in the video. (like when I react late in a livestream, I can move my reaction to where it actually happened as I am slow and sometimes my "AAAHHHHH" is five seconds after I died... I love editing (slowly getting better I hope) but didn't have a great deal to edit, so started livestreaming to give me something fun to edit. Now some of my livestreams are just that and I may clip a TikTok or something if something funny happens. But my livestreams for editing are planned out (don't always go to plan) but I try to make sure I know what I want to do and when and why to make a (hopefully) fun video from it. So glad when the professor says I am doing (some) things right :-)
@@Captain_Dark Funnily enough there is a video by @EposVox on how to separate out audio (but UA-cam won't let me link it here, but he has one). I do it slightly differently and probably more complicated, by using a tool called VoiceMeeter. First, I set the output from Discord (and/or TeamSpeak) to VoiceMeeter Aux. Then in VoiceMeeter I patch that to my speakers and headphones (A1 and A2) so I can hear it and then the virtual Aux output (B2). I then add that virtual Aux output as a new audio input source in OBS, and in Advanced Audio Properties - patch that to Channel 1 (for the livestream) and Channel 4 (for recording). Then in the recording side, make sure you capture all the audio channels.
Yes! I just pulled the trigger for a year of abobe cc ($$$) because I wanted to pursue freelancing on Premiere. It seems like most people list that specifically still on job listings and like it on resumes. But I didn't think Resolve was competing like you make it out to be. So while I've already spent the money, I am excited to watch you break down some things on Resolve and hopefully move away from Vegas in the near future in which ever direction I go :) I love vegas for some reasons like the simplicity in certain areas, but the crashing and other stability issues is a huge headache.
On the point of using stream markers to more easily edit your VODs, I wrote a how to guide to convert your stream markers into an importable file for your editing software. If folks want to see it, it's in the EposVox discord in one of the help channels. Happy editing
I spent this winter writing an auto-improter for Resolve (the manual importing drove me NUTS). It's a bit of pain to get the coding up & running but afterwards you can do some cool stuff quite easily!
Thankyou *so* much for saying you shouldn't cut out every moment of dead space and breathing between sentences. I swear sometimes watching youtube videos feels like I'm hyperventilating the whole time.
Regarding using programming for editing: Fireship recently put out a video about a framework that lets you use React to create videos, like animation, editing, data driven visuals etc.
Editing can suck but I regularly laugh at my own stupid jokes and really love watching everything come together. The main boring part is my initial go through to cut out dead air and bad takes. After that it is pretty fun
Also to touch on jump cuts, I find I would use a j cut occasionally to transition between topics, otherwise I find it more effective to punch in and out to not only hide the cuts but to also help make it a bit more engaging during the segments that have my face.
I have a tutorial channel where the main focus is a screen recording of an application. I was going to try to introduce some talking head segments as possible B roll but am struggling a little with other B roll options as ultimately I generally aim for 5 to 10 minutes so feel like most B roll would be a distraction or make it more difficult to follow. Any advice? Going to look back at some of your videos to see what you have done in the past just to get some ideas Newer to editing so learning a lot at this point.
I haven't looked into it that much, but "Timebolt" looks promising for automatically removing silences between sentences. Might be good for talking heads videos. There is also a way to remove silences between sentences with Adobe Audition, that involve analyzing silence, making markers, exporting markers to a blank video from Audition and something more, don't remember, but "The Premiere Pro" has a tutorial on it... Could be good for those who can't be arsed with the "time consuming" first cutting process.
How long should you try making a UA-cam channel work before giving up? Like is there a number of videos or period of sustained failure where one should start to consider that they just aren't very good at this?
I edit with Shotcut. I film with a Pixel 3a and a $20 lav mic. Sometimes on a $20 tripod with ring light. I love time lapses, so I also use my Go Pro for B roll. I don't see any of this changing soon, LOL 😜
Love the Pikachu Ear Ring, But yest Video Editing is only bad if the video your making is bad, i have spent hours editing things that i realise are terrible because i was enjoying the experince so i would scrap the project, thats why now i plan and make sure the video i am making is editable and watchable.
Imho, editing can be what makes and breaks your video. A good topic, good script and good recording isn't worth anything if the editing is sh*t. All the good effort you put in beforehand can be completely overshadowed by bad pacing, bad looking color grading or uninteresting editing in general. On the flipside, even a bad concept and bad footage can be eleviated to a different level by good editing. Long story short, learn how to edit properly, or find someone who can, it's gonna be a game changer!
Man, I wish my content got enough impressions for the quality of the video to actually matter. How many months worth of youtube videos do you need to post to twitter in order to earn a single follower?
I don't know how social media works. I'm considering the possibility that you need a large external social media following to get your videos seen. Promoting the twitter in my videos didn't work to get twitter followers either.
along with the tip at 10:00 faster than realtime playback saves a ton of time during this stage of editing. Don't remember if you can do that easily in Resolve.
I do that quite often in Resolve. But I have the Speed Editor, which makes it super easy to speed through footage, as well as zero in on where you want to make a cut. I think you can set up hot keys to control playback speed as well. Either way, overspeed editing really does save tons of time.
I might be part of a small niche but, I say, if you edit your videos just to get clicks and views, using the "this is hip now" or "you should do this", you're doing it wrong... I edit my videos in a way that it makes Me happy about it. If it generates 1-5 views instead of 1-5 million, I'm happy about it because I'm proud of it. If you're making/editing videos just to to get views and revenue (if you're lucky enough to break out and make a hit) you won't last long because you will just tire yourself out.
@@EposVox I get that. But tons of content creators are not doing this as a job. You are, so I get that you have to follow the trend and make videos and thumbnails that catch peoples attention and interest and keep them on your channel. I have a full time job, I literally only make UA-cam content because I want to share what I do on my spare time. If I sometime in the future get my channel(s) to revenue status, that’s cool, a few extra bucks. But it will never take away from me and how I edit my videos, because at the end of the day I have to be proud of the outcome or I might as well quit. I get the grind and the “this year you have to this to succeed”. I’m just saying, as a educational channel, have in mind that the majority that sees your videos (I’m guessing here) are not editing or streaming as their main job and income, or else we wouldn’t be watching educational content.
No, but the majority of people asking for how to be successful need to do things to facilitate that success. Deliberately ignoring all the things that set yourself up for that and hoping to “luck into it” won’t get you very far It’s the same dilemma I run into with streamers who want to “just stream for fun” yet obsess over numbers and want to make them better. You can’t have both.
What Devon Crawford did was just bullsh*t actually. He looked at YCbCr, encoder specific things and other unnecessary stuff that has nothing to do with what he actually wanted to do. It was so sad, everyone was amazed and there were only a few knowledgeable comments that pointed out that it could have been done in 2-3 lines of bash/Python code.
I didn't really know how many sound effects you needed in video editing until I started making videos and it caused me to focus more on the videos i was watching even more and noticing the sounf effects
Hey for some reason, at 13:29, your audio does this really weird glitching, playback delay, bouncing left and right audio effect. I assume it's just a rendering glitch but I got so confused when I listened back to it.
I was about to reply that exact thing, it happens to me often in editing also. I hate it lol.
part of me is like: It was to test audience retention :P

Check out Fireship's recent video about using React to make videos
Great Video as always! Thanks for adressing the J & L Cuts :D
Oh heck yeah! Didn't know I was in this video :P 13:08 Thanks for answering my question!
Nice, so glad you ended up making this after your community post! Now to sit and wait patiently for a Razer Audio Mixer review.
I moved over to Davinci Resolve a few months ago, never looked back, its awesome! and FREE! its absolutely insane.
Excellent work! You continue to sound great on that ETHOS
Great video! Really interesting topic, like you, I also think the editing part is my favourite part of the process too!

UA-cam has a highlight button as well, not just Twitch. Have never used it, but I'm aware it's a feature on here as well.
Clips are different than markers, but I guess could be used similarly
