Using epidemic for over a year now. Very satisfied with them 😁
I think either you or Peter McKinnon mentioned these guys a few months ago and I joined.... BEST music ever! Thats all I use now in my vids hahaha. Glad you got a sponsor :)
ngl literally found you like a couple of days ago and you are the most helpful creator on this platform.
So true! She is so engaging, love her upbeat personality!
@@RocksManor ikr literally floats my boat.
Legit! She makes informative videos entertaining
Totally agree with you Connor, she has some amazing tips!
Literally same
"You still there?"
Yes, actually I am
"You still there?"
Yes, I'm still here...
lol
Haha same here
lol
As soon as I started watching you, I started to move my shots more and your tips are honestly so helpful! I just hit 1,000 subs and Im so excited and I definitely need better music for my videos so thank you! How did you stay motivated in the beginning to keep working at it? I can feel so disheartened sometimes!
Lorelei Don’t be disheartened. You are doing good and your channel looks great. Remember why you started. Think about the good things or write them down. What makes you happy about what you do. Keep it up!💃🏻
Gosh you got me at disheartened. I feel like the UA-cam journey can literally rob someone of all joy at times.. and people just dont talk about it in their content.
#KeepPounding.. Congratulations
yah me too. but i just keep going after all im enjoying it.
@@neshmahenkel2428 i actually do that. I try to enjoy what im doing. btw im your #94 :)
Can we talk about how nice it is of Cath to share all these secrets of her UA-cam success with people? Not everyone would be willing to share this many details with us! 😂 you are one of the few youtubers I try not to skip the ads because I want to support your channel as much as possible since you have helped me SOOOO much with how I want to improve my future videos. Thank you!
Oh my goodness you're so sweet! I truly appreciate your support :)
We appreciate YOU.
Will second that motion! 👌
Your video are always so helpful. On behalf of the small youtuber community, thank you for being here ❤️
Harry Bailey well said! 👍🏼
Agreed !
Yeah she’s amazing
True
Harry Bailey NICE VIDEO! New subs #2,360+. Subscribe & I’ll return the favor to all, PEACE
I love Epidemic sound for my videos! And I use final cut :)
I loved your channel just subscribed , how long you have your YT recipes and how long takes you to film a vídeo like the last one you just posted? The banana split. I’m also creating a culinary channel but I found its a lot of work, I feel demotivated sometimes :(
LAIKA is a current animation studio that specializes in claymation (AKA stop-motion animation)! They’ve done movies like Coraline, The Corpse Bride, Kubo and the Two Strings, and most recently Missing Link. (My other channel is all about animation.)
I just wanted to say thank you for doing what you do, the value you provide to new content creators is crazy. I am almost at the 1000 subscriber mark and I owe a huge part of that to your content. I try to implement the strategies you talk about and feel like I have become a better UA-camr since. I share your content with anyone who asks me for UA-cam advice. Keep doing what you do, it's helping out so many creators who need the guidance, like myself 😄
Oh thank you so so much! I'm glad that I can help and congrats on almost 1k! That's amazing! You've got this, stick with it, and if there is anything you want to see on my channel, just let me know!
Come on friends help him get that thousand please 🙏🏻 and support each other 🤳🏻
I just hugged you 👍🏻🌹
982 subscriber
Thank you for this video 🤗
You're really helping me grow my channel ❤
Omg congrats on a sponsor 🤩🤩 so proud of you!!
Ahhhhh thank you!
Ive been doing youtube for years now and the last 6 months i have found your channel and slowly doing things that you have suggested. I have started to see not only more views on my videos but gaining more subscribers every day. My income has doubled this month and I do have to say thank you for create great relatable content for other creators to learn and grow with❤
Epidemic Sound is awesome. I've had the chance to try their free trial and is a game changer. It is much easier to find music for a clip. A pro tip I have for the time lapse is to speed it to 5000% and add motion blur to the clip. It's going to look so much better. The rest is pure gold for someone trying to learn how to edit B-Roll. It was very fun to watch! That red Rec dot though... Congrats!
Very true ❤️❤️
I honestly don't use music in my videos since they're more straightforward talking head info videos, but I am FLOORED by how the two moods changed in the video! Also LOVE the red dot photo show in your editing, and how you make the moving images. Thank you!
I never even thought about cutting to the sounds, thank you for that!! I'll definitely be using it.
you really encourage small youtuber to improve our channel🌷thank you for all the tips and tricks, also, loveeee your video 💖
I love this!! I don't even have a UA-cam channel (yet anyway) and I am OBSESSED with watching you! 😂😍
It's good to see you feeling better than last week. it's always a pleasure to see your smiling face and listen to the enjoyable comments you have to share with the rest. Best of luck.
YOU DA BEST! You have helped me step my game up! Thank you!!!
I incorporated your tip of using sound effects between transitions! "bottle cork" and "golf hit #1" are my favs on iMovie and I have noticed my audience retention rate is higher in the videos I used those in!
I did the same, and I find it helps move things along, and separates segments of my video cleanly. I think my next new project will be to try and include a touch of b-roll between a-roll segments.
Whenever you get Final Cut Pro I feel like you will love how fast you can edit with the shortcuts and being able to add multiple overlays.
You are amazing for being able to make these freaking good quality videos on iMovie!!😍
Hi there, any tips on where I can learn / learning how to edit on Final Cut Pro? Thanks!
Is Final Cut Pro in the Apple store? Like the app
@@tatianavaughn701 Yes. it's on mac only I belive
Madu Talks There are some really good videos on it - I really like BestDressed and Hannah Elise’s videos on it and I’m also planning to make a video about it in the future.
@@abbiepeytonwyatt Oh thank you so much!!! I just subscribed you (304) look forward to your video on that too...
The videos where you take us behind the scenes and walk us through how you produce your videos are just amazing. I've been bulk watching a shit ton of "how to make videos" vids and most of them haven't been nearly helpful enough for me. This one is perfect. This is the kind of content I've been looking for. Thanks so much for giving us an inside look at your process - it's so, SO helpful.
I loved the time lapse with the noises. They set up the scene so well👌👌
yep my thoughts exactly. this is a game changer.
i love doin time lapses in my videos! i think i will start leaving sound in for a different effect 😊
Brilliant info as usual. Thank you for providing us small UA-camRS all this valuable advice 🙌🏽
This was super helpful, I usually do time lapse but I like the transition of editing it to the sound so much better. Thank you!
How am I just seeing this video now!!!! I LOVE editing! it is so much fun! But as a total newbie I have so much to learn! You are endlessly giving the best content! I really want you to know that you are KIND, APPRECIATED and so much joy and success is wished upon you! I know there are so many new youtubers following you and to everyone I say...you WILL have the success you dream of!
Great video! Loved the outtakes at the end
You nailed the sponsor portion of this video - very seamless and completely relevant to the video....and I want it. Thanks for all your content.
YESSS! Literally what I need! I’m trying to make more time for editing to really make the viewing experience as pleasurable as possible for my audience. Congrats on your sponsorship, Cathrin!!! 🎊🎉
Ahhhhhhhh thank you! So excited to get started with sponsored content :)
I'm living for the What A Girl Wants quote on your board
We've followed you for a long time before you took off, and this video really hits what we are trying to work on. We're in the dormant feeling of feeling our videos are pretty good but not getting enough views, so we're really trying to focus on watch time per video. If you have time and want to give us any pointers Sam and I would appreciate it! Thank you
Thank you so much Cathrin for sharing all those tips! I started a UA-cam channel 3 months ago to teach French in a fun way and I am so happy I found your channel, I love your content and it's really helpful! :) Also I wanted to tell you that for that recording screen, instead of using images and alternate between the images, you can use green screens, that's what I do, it's super easy!
3:34 yes! you’re spot on! it’s really important to keep switching up the angles (coming from a videographer/filmmaker 😊)
I need to start doing it more.
I did that on my latest video and got a few positive comments from that
I didn’t even consider it. Maybe I’ll try this is my next video.
This video really showed me that your personality can only go so far. It doesn’t matter how interesting you are if your video is boring!
Hey, just a tip... why not screen record you typing into the search bar you designed instead of saving 20+ pictures?
Josh Nuttall Great tip. Hopefully she sees this so she can save some time while editing.
Thanks for all your tips! I have got to step up my editing to make my videos better!
5 mins in and I have already learned so much thank you. 👌🏼
The red dot trick is epic! 😱
I love that you talked about the different editing styles and adding music very helpful!!
great advice! Another trick for the typing thing could be doing a screen record of the typing through Quiktime!!
Actually the "unnatural" static Matcha scene was very funny, because it's so ironic to the way you usual film 😂 I just found your channel and it is SO helpful!
Ok Cathrin, I am going to need that hoodie ASAP! 🙂 Great video and great tips as always! I have followed you and it has helped me grow tremendously!
It's true that the value and the content comes first....but is AMAZING watch and receive that VALUE with the best video quality....Another way to STAND OUT and become a PURPLE COW on UA-cam, something obligated to grow!!!
Seth Godin is the best
Good editing + a lot of Value = YT is going to be a passive income machine
wow Cathrin you have changed my life and I saw you got emotional in the last vid but im serious you have helped me so much and I just fell like you have unlocked a whole new chapter in my life. thank you so much!
5:09 when you try to fast forward in the Sims lol
You’ve inspired me to make my own channel and start a business. Thank you, you’ve changed my perspective and you’re a blessing. ❤️🙏
You can make a green-screen version of the camera animation, have it on loop for 1min, nest, export, and then overlay over your videos with chroma-key.
Thank you for making this video. Honestly I've always heard of epidemic sound but never bothered giving them a shot but you were able to sell their value so much well that I went ahead and subscribed and used your code, which I also thank you so much for! Lots of love and respect to you and your channel🌷😊
Why not do a screen recording of you typing into the Canva text field...rather than dozens of screen shots stitched together?!
That would be super helpful!
Thank you for sharing your experience. Since I’ve started my channel, I’ve realised, that even if my content is completely different from the others, I can still take the best from each ‘’UA-camr” to grow. I think you’re very good on what you’re doing and I can see you’re having a 500k+ in a year or two!🙌🏻
Your tips have helped me go from 100 subs to 1k in UNDER 90 days. Thank you!
Ahhhh that's AMAZING! Congrats!
Irv Official omg what am I missing lol
TheContentBug thank you for keeping it real!
Maritza Valenciano nothing! Lol just listen to everything she says
You always have the best advice and the thing that sets you apart is you make us feel like you genuinely care about our success. Figuring out UA-cam is like a giant puzzle and you are definitely helping me put the pieces together!
yay sponsorships!! I'm so happy for you!! I love these kinds of vids and I love your vids on how to make your vids look really professional with iMovie.
Awe thank youuuu!
Ms. ContentBug! Thank you so much for this video! I just started UA-cam, and I am in LOVE with your channel! Thank you!
Here early to learn some helpful tips! 😁 Thank you for all of your help 🙏
Ahhhh thanks for coming early!
TheContentBug You're welcome! 😁
this was legit helpful! will definitely give epidemic music a try soon! thanks girl!
I have a whole playlist dedicated to UA-cam tips and 98% of them are videos made by you 😅
I feel like these tips were only made for me as a new UA-camr :D I've only uploaded two videos of my artwork but I've been struggling with music so I chose to not add any sounds :o Thank you so much for explaining your process for adding music! Very helpful :)
Can you show us to how make the overlay with the picture frame I guess you would call it
You are the first UA-cam help vlogger I started following and am glad I did it!! Your videos are so helpful!
I love your channel so much! I watch them everyday and multiple times to try and get my videos and channel to get better!
Love the tips. Trying to improve my watch time. Hopefully this will help
Thank you so much for everything you do. I just started my channel about a week ago and now I have about 110 subscribers. I owe many things to you. I cant wait to grow more with your help. Thank you.
Adding music here and there to my videos has definitely made them more watchable. Thanks for the great tips!
Yes I totally agree!
@@CathrinManning At first, I didn't realize that UA-cam had an entire library of music you could use and so I would keep getting copyrighted.
I am just seeing this video. I've never heard some of these tricks before and I love them. Simple. Things I can do.
I was just catching up on your insta stories when I got the notification! Can't wait to watch this! :)
Hahaha perfect timing!
When UA-cam was VERY young I used to have a claymation channel. Love the claymation reference. Thanks for the tips I'll try to incorporate them in my next video!
For anyone trying to achieve their goals:
Knowledge is Power!
Read more books!
Then don't fall into the trap of being Knowledgeable. You need to Apply that knowledge to reap the benefits.
Most succesful people in all disciplines of life have a thing in common! They read lots of Books!
Bill gates reads 50 Books a year!
Reaaaaaaaaad :)!
And Good luck.
Gary V reads none. It's about learning, regardless of how u go about it
@@jalenmacon Sure thing!
In this day an age you can learn a lot from the internet and social media platforms like the youtube video we are watching here!
However, Don't forget how often Gary V Mentions Google! Everytime someone asks him how to do something he's like It's Simple. G- O O G L E .
So be sure to know that for Gary to reach the success he did today he probably read tons too!
And ofcourse there are many People that may become succesful without reading. But if you read you have a higher chance because Books are Gold-mines of valuable information. Especially if you pick the right ones.
If you watch a lot of videos on youtube you will find that some things get very repetitive, and even the information you find online is not that good. However usually people pour their souls into books which in turn Deliver great value!
Also, Gary V has written 5 books!
That shows that he Does indeed encourage reading books
I agree that its about learning regardless of the way you choose, but You can read much faster than you can hear.
Reading books will usually give you more knowledge faster, Because you can read faster than people can talk.
And ofcourse Every person learns in a diferent way, But i find that to be the case in my life.
There is also Statiscally speaking a VERY HIGH Correlation between reading books and success.
Two months free?!
You're blessing me right now! Your channel has been so helpful, so thank you!
I love love Epidemic Sound it has been incredible for my UA-cam Content I found that other platforms music sound like trash. It is so much easier then hunting down SoundCloud users and asking them for permission keep killing the content like you always do blessings to you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
TalkinWithTonio no lie bro lurking around SoundCloud is the WORST
Yes! I'm so glad that you like Epidemic cool! It's seriously stepped up my game when it comes to music and makes my life so much easier with finding songs!
TheContentBug Yes keep doing what you are doing this is only the beginning 💪🏽
I'm 57 years old and you, young girl, are teaching me how to do this stuff. This alone, I think for you, would be amazing. Thanks. Giorgia from Italy
18:09 I Think This Happens To Every UA-camr Hahahaha
It’s nice to know I’m not the only person using IMovie. I’d been feeling restricted by the platform but after seeing this I think I just need to rethink how I’m using it to make my videos more interesting Thanks for brining that to my attention. Much appreciated
I have a question.... how are you so amazing? Just asking...
Bella Fayth ikrr. Her videos have helped me out so much!
I'm just starting out on UA-cam and this was super helpful! Thank you!
10:30 - Damn... that's actually a really cool feature to have!
It’s been so inspiring to see your growth! Congrats on getting such a great sponsor. It aligns well with your brand. Thank you for all of the helpful tips you shared in this video. I appreciate how you included the ‘boring’ clip to demonstrate your point.
Really enjoying your content. I’ve just started and I’m a very persistent person and will keep going. I want my early videos as a constant reminder of where I’ve come from! Thanks for all the helpful information!
Who else is trying to increase their watch retention rate?! 😩
Live out Loud with Moe Nicole ✋🏼✋🏼✋🏼
Me I am 197 now
Always a pleasure watching your videos, the content bug was one of the reasons I got started on UA-cam. Merci Cathrin!
The section where you had the two different images for the record screen is GOLD! only true editors know this.
These are my notes, hope it helps !
1. Take note of the different editing styles you like from the creators you follow.
2. Move your camera around
3. Make timelapses
4. Cut at different sounds (opening a cabinet, turning on the microwave, putting a glass on a table, etc.)
5. Cut your movements into 1,5 sec clips
6. Add music and/or sound effects (it does help a lot if you want a certain vibe to your video)
7. Make sure the sounds of your voice/music are approximately on the same level
8. Add overlays and texts if necessary
Cheatsheet - love it!
After busy busy day, Finally can watch your videos....super excited for new tips.
Thank you for sharing different editing styles. It's hard to get in the groove.
I loved the matcha edits to just all the sounds!!! Thank you!!!
Ahh I found your channel and your tips are SUPER helpful!! Thank you so so much for sharing Cathrin! 🥰
We really love Epidemic sounds too.
We use it a lot in our vlog style videos and as a base sound for our sit down videos.
I love how your goal is to help others out! We really appreciate it.
We have never checked out Canva but we will definitely give it a look. X
You are seriously the most helpful UA-camr for content creators! I just wanted to add that I've never seen someone do a sponsored video quite like you did, where it was actually instructional and helpful instead of a blatant cash grab. I never knew Epidemic Sound had so many amazing features, but thanks to you, now I do!
Your love for Canva is relatable on a spiritual level 😇
Love the tips on focusing on sounds.... thanks
I love your video! I really feel like I am improving my channel! Thx :)
Thanks for such a detailed review of Epidemic SOunds. I have been on the fence about spending the $15 a month, but now I am convinced.
Thank you for helping me build my UA-cam channel. Very informative video 👍
I suggested your channel with my bff and she loves it. She create UA-cam videos too.
I love the outtakes 😂 Congrats on your first sponsored video! 😁👍
Thank you for encouraging and motivating me to be better and start a channel!
I just want to thank you for your brilliance! I'm so happy I found you. There's so much you have helped me with and I'm looking forward to learning more to improve my UA-cam Style. Thanks again for all that you do!
I LOVE Epidemic Sound!! I’d love to see a play by play tutorial on the exact editing steps you did for your kitchen/matcha scene. The second two were really intriguing to me! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Wow this is one of the most helpful videos I’ve watched and I’m only like 7 minutes in. Thank you so much for being so detailed!
Okay so I already feel so confident to up my BORING clips ! Thanks so much.
